Learn Poi and Related Flow-Arts

This is a video showing some nice stalling-in-weaves variations. Great music! Thanks to Achmed for sending me the video :)

Here we give an overview of the ways you can maximize the benefits of poi spinning while reducing the risk of injury. 

I had the good fortune to make a partner-poi video with the LOOOOP group in Germany. Grab some friends and learn!

In these videos our friend Srikanta shares his knowledge of acrobatics applied to poi and staff. If you don't know already, Srikanta spent years performing with Cirque Du Soleil! He's been through the best training of any fire performer we know! 

If you want to learn more, check out his upcoming poi and staff retreat in Costa Rica!

In this video we look at Split-time Hip Reels, also known as Watermill. Really watermill and windmill are the same basic pattern, just done at different heights. 

Ever wondered what "good posture" really means? Kinesiologist Sarah Hamilton answers that question and explains how it will help us avoid injuries. 

Speaking of stalls, here's Nick's Favourite Stalling Pattern! Stalling patterns are a great way to learn freedom of movement!

Want to learn stalls? Then find a wall! 

A crosspoint is the point where the flight path of a poi intersects itself. Playing with crosspoints is a way to observe, understand, stabilize, and interact with the poi. 3-beat weaves when performed randomly don't look like anything from the front, but by stabilizing the crosspoints it can become a beautiful helix. Crosspoints can also be used for spotting when turning and whirling in virtually any pattern. (It is easiest to work with crosspoints if you have light emitting poi!)
