Discover Movement and Mindfulness in this Poi Workshop with Jax Parks! This innovative workshop blends Poi spinning with mindful movement, promoting both physical and mental well-being through the graceful art of spinning Poi.
What is POI? Poi is a movement practice that involves spinning weights on the ends of cords, creating fluid, rhythmic motions that engage the mind and body. It’s accessible to all skill levels and has been shown to improve balance, coordination, focus, and overall wellness. In this workshop, you’ll not only learn the basics of Poi spinning, but also how it can be a meditative practice to bring mindfulness into your day.
In this one-hour workshop Carly Cravotta, owner of Fire Sacral Flow – POI Performances, will teach participants the foundations of poi and beginner-friendly moves. After direct instruction, students will have time to free flow while the instructor provides personalized feedback and level-specific help. Participants will leave the workshop with a solid foundation of the art of POI. They will learn proper grip techniques, fundamentals of plane control, and beginner-friendly up to intermediate POI moves, and how to incorporate dance elements into their flow. Whether you’re a complete novice or looking to refine your poi skills, this comprehensive workshop offers a unique opportunity to learn from a seasoned performer to unlock this captivating art form.
