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

Emmental, Switzerland | August 31 - Sept 6th

We are happy to announce the 2012 Swiss Poi and Yoga Retreat!  The retreat will begin with dinner on August 31st, and will finish with brunch on September 6th. This year's location: Balmeggberg.

Each day we will offer yoga classes with Adrian and poi lessons with Nick Woolsey and special guests. There will also be time for exploring the mountains, enjoying the sauna, eating great food, etc.

This retreat is intended for poi spinners who are comfortable with all the basics and who wish to explore both poi and yoga.

This is the performance video from the Adventures in Poi DVD, featuring the music of Delhi 2 Dublin. I saw that some people had ripped it and posted it on youtube so I figured it was better to post it myself! There are reasons for that but I'll explain later. Meanwhile, enjoy the video and remember that you can join us at any of the upcoming Costa Rica retreats! The advanced retreats start Feb 5th so you still have time! :)

 

Empowering your State of Flow!

Join us for this 1st-of-it's-kind retreat, hosted by La Esquela del Sol.

If Playpoi and a Zen Monastery had a baby it would be this retreat. Nick Woolsey, Alien Jon, Banyan, Tea Faerie, and Thom Thumb of team Playpoi have joined forces to bring you a totally different kind of retreat. This week is fueled by a vision of something more important than poi tricks. We're aiming at tangible personal transformation and the ability to manifest the flow state at will.

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. 

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