Poi Box Breathing 🌬️ As someone who struggled for years to both sit still and to focus on my breath, I hope this helps 🤍

This 3-minute practice connects a guided poi sequence with a structured breathing pattern.

💨 The breathing helps stimulate your vagus nerve, which releases chemical messengers like acetylcholine that slow down your hear rate and lower your blood pressure. This helps shift your autonomic nervous system into a calmer state.

🧶 The bilateral, rhythmic poi movement helps integrate your brains’s emotional and logical processing centers, anchors your attention in the present, and sends safety signals to your amygdala which can help lower cortisol and adrenaline production.

Congratulations to Aisling Shaughnessy for becoming a Certified SpinPoi Instructor! Aisling is a poi spinning enthusiast based in Dublin, Ireland. She hash a deep appreciation for using poi as a channel for self expression and movement meditation, and would love to help others to learn the basics and find their own unique flow. Aisling says “I love poi. Besides the joy of spinning itself, it has brought so many amazing people and opportunities into my life. The best feeling is when you’ve been working on a new move for a long time persevering with the frustration and the poi flying around everywhere. When you finally get it, it feels like a massage for the brain.” Welcome to the team my friend.

Sometimes you can’t think your way into calm.
You have to move into it.

Love this feedback from Nikki Justo Casanova, who was new to poi when she came through the SpinPoi Certification Course last year, and is now doing poi almost weekly with her aged care residents. “I am incorporating poi in my morning exercises, and have also included it in my physio management for our residents. Most of my residents are quite challenging when I ask them to do exercises. However, they are very enthusiastic when it’s poi activity. With my beginner poi skills, I am glad that I can help improve the wellbeing of my residents.”

This month we will be learning the corkscrew, exploring its coolest variations, and discovering the underrated horizontal plane to add a fresh dimension to your poi flow. We’ll also learn how to match your poi spinning to music. This improves coordination, feels nice, and is a great way to synchronize multiple poi spinners.

⬆️ Level Up Your Poi: August Addition! ⬆️
spinpoi.com/level-up-your-poi

This month we are covering stalls and antispin. Learning stalls allows you to change direction with the poi, an alternative to pendulums. The process of learning to stall also improves plane control, speed control, and left/right independence. Stalls are a useful move for musicality in your poi spinning, also a great way to get into antispins and the concept behind them, helping you see how your poi can move in opposition to your hand. Understanding antispin opens up a whole new layer of movement, expanding your pattern vocabulary and control. It’s a key milestone that will shift how you approach flow and unlock a wide range of new possibilities.
