| Beginner Poi Class at Antioch University |
Discover the Magick of Creative Play!
Learn an ancient Polynesian art of the Maori tribes of New Zealand, the Art of Poi Spinning! Resembling
martial arts and rhythmic gymnastics, poi spinning is an incredible exercise that will increase physical strength and coordination,
enhance energy, improve concentration skills and simply make you feel more happy and alive!
(most
of the above pretty words were "borrowed" from our friend, Mr. Fun of mystik toyz!)
Lara n' Pan (n' maybe a couple
other Soul Fire Tribe folke may pop in to offer a tip or two!) teach ongoing beginning poi spinning classes
on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm in the evenings at the Glen Helen Boulder, on Cory Street, Yellow Springs! Once the weather
gets cold. we'll move to the Antioch Gym. Call 937-767-2594 (Lara) or 937-409-5666 (Pan) to sign up!
Lara offers hooping workshops
from time to time. She and Pan were trained in hooping by KC and Elana, professional performers from Chicago and Lara
has really been practicing! Hooping is SO much fun and an incredible workout! Want to see an amazing
video? Go to YOUTUBE and search for "KC fire hoop." Oh, yes, our Lara does fire hooping now too, she's so awesome!
This ain't your mama's hula hooping, kids...

Cost is 20 dollars for a 4 week class, which meets every Wed. Drop in fee is 7 dollars.....sign
up for the whole class, save money and learn more! (NOTE: due to our classes currently being somewhat informal,
for now our weekly classes are FREE!) The class will be learning with non-burning play poi, beanbags with flowing
ribbons and providing you practice hard, we feel you are safe, you study our Fire Safety Information page (on this
web site) and you pass the safety test, for your graduation you can FLAME UP! On average,
for someone dedicated, it takes about 8 weeks before being ready to take the Safety Test
and do your virgin burn.
But flamimg up is not required to enjoy the Art of Poi by any means!
Play poi will be for sale at nominal cost, you can borrow one of our fire poi for your virgin burn.
Wear comfortable clothing. Adults and children welcome! (children will only use non-flaming poi)
