Tarun Nayar
Tarun is a beautiful person. He is wise beyond his years. He is good looking. He plays a mean tabla. He produces amazing music and amazing musical events. Damn, is there anything this guy isn't on the ball with? If we ever hear of something, we'll post it, because nobody should be this sexy.
Tarun produced music for the Scales of Poi DVD, as well as the poi video When Circles Dream. We're hoping to work with him more on future projects. In the meantime, you can learn a (little bit) more about him on his music website.
Michel Gingras
Michel shared the Vancouver Poi Studio with Nick Woolsey for several months, back when Playpoi was just starting out. Michel moved into the studio to film yoga instruction for yogayak.com. He brought a whole bunch of lights and cameras and other equipment into the studio, and helped Nick with several video projects, including the filming of The Scales of Poi.
Michel and his partner, Jenn, are beautiful people, and their support and frienship went a long way towards making the whole poi studio experience a benefitial one. They will always be considered family, although they have been living abroad this past year.
The Mighty Banyan
The Mighty Banyan is one of our favorite fire performers (and yoga teachers) ever. Below is a video of Banyan performing with double staffs in Thailand and India. To contact him about performances and yoga classes, email templeroots at gmail dot com. We'll add a link to his website as soon as he has one :)
Banyan, we love you!
