Fire at the Yoga Barn with Wah!
And another fire performance! This is from last May in Bali. It was a fundraiser for Bedulu, and amazing orphanage near Ubud. Live music by Wah! Try double clicking the video to go to youtube, and then watch it in high def. The quality came through great!

The Mighty Banyan
The Mighty Banyan is one of our favorite fire performers (and yoga teachers) ever. This is him performing with double staffs in Thailand and India. To contact him about performances and yoga classes, email templeroots at gmail dot com.
Nick and Yuta #2: Poi Story
Yay! This is the second Nick+Yuta video, and the "Directors Cut" of our COL2007 entry (meaning much more fire spinning footage). A big thanks to Yuta for editing this one, and to Dan, Gordon, MK, Claus, Michie, and Isa for all the help. You guys rock!
Poi Video: More Fun with Flowtoys
Several people requested more performance videos, so here is some of my favorite footage from our flowtoys shoot in Bali. Shows how fun it can be to bend your planes sometimes.
I am slowly working towards some epic new videos, with special friends, but for that you'll have to wait while I finish a few other things from the big list ;)
And remember, you can go buy some flowtoys if you like what you see!
Nick... Strips for Money!
Yes... this is the video of me stripping for money (Watch as .mov | Watch on youtube). I was waiting to have a few more poiticipation goodies ready (poi hipsacks, posters, etc), but it was a very special friend's birthday yesterday so I'm releasing it now.
The stripping makes a good metaphor. I'm stepping out of all my fears lately (and I'm not the only one). We bring our dreams to life by choosing to. Thus I'm swinging the credit cards around fast an furious, and we'll be offering a lot of yummy new content starting early June. Please stay tuned.
I'm hoping you'll take the time to pay attention to the poiticipation ideas, and to have faith in me that I'm offering a two-way relationship. I don't think artists have to live in poverty to maintain their integrity. It's time to blaze a new artist/community relationship, and part of that happens here, and I would love you to be part of it.
If things go well there will be more nudity, I promise.

Dancing with Flowtoys
Hey, check it out, we finished our flowtoys.com: video. These are my favorite LED poi, produced by the amazing Sean and Prisna. (Yes, this is what we are using in most of those photos). This is exciting as they've signed me up as an affiliate member, so if you click through and buy something, I get a percentage, which puts me all the closer to getting my own video camera! Oh, and they are selling and wholesaling our DVDs in North America so it is overall very exciting :)
