Nick Woolsey is finally returning to Vancouver to offer the Poi Beginner Series. This 6-class course will take you through all the fundamental moves and concepts of poi spinning! Although you will learn all the basic moves and transitions of poi, the true objective is to ensure that you grasp the fundamental principles of poi, preparing yourself for years of learning. We'll meet twice per week for the month of June.
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! :)
Srikanta, the only fire spinner I know who performed for Cirque Du Soleil, is continuing to make instructional videos, this one is on under-the-legs.
We'll continue to post his videos on playpoi because he's awesome and we like him! If you also think he's awesome you may want to check out his upcoming poi retreat in Costa Rica.
It's going to be an exciting spring in Costa Rica!
Feb 5th-18th we're offering two weeks of poi retreats with Rob Thorburn as our guest poi teacher and Banyan as our yoga teacher.

March 11th-17th we're partnering with Paul Hughs and Thom Thumb to offer our first ever Flow Empowerment Retreat! If you see poi and flow arts as a way to enter states of bliss, then this may be the retreat for you!

To top it all off, our beloved yoga teacher, Banyan, is offering a week-long yoga retreat March 17th-24th. So if you've come to love yoga as much as poi, this is your chance to go deeper.
Banyan has been our beloved yoga teacher at many Playpoi poi retreats. If you love yoga and want to go deeper into your practice, here's your opportunity: Banyanis offering a 7-day yoga immersion in Montezuma, Costa Rica! This retreat will center on a deeper understanding of yoga and tantra, the ancient yogic science of techniques designed to help us overcome our limitations. Banyan’s deep and yet playful approach will inspire a loving self-inquiry and a new direction to your practice. All levels of student are welcome.
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.
