Over the shoulder turn
Nov 23rd
Learn a new poi trick that brings your poi from a backwards swing up and over your shoulders while you turn 180 degrees.
Start by spinning your poi backward in Equal Time, as the poi come up, bring your hands up and over your shoulders, being mindful to keep your left hand on the left and your right hand on the right, don’t cross your hands. As your poi swing behind you, wait until you feel the poi pull down on your fingers and then turn quickly 180 degrees, now bring your hands down and swing your poi forwards.

Poi box stalls
Nov 18th
Here is a practice you can do with a same direction stall in the middle up and down. You will spin your poi in same direction split time and stall one poi up and one poi down in the middle…ore center of your body. First try doing box stalls, your poi heads meet your opposite elbows. Then try stalling so your poi heads meet in the middle, then move your poi so that you are meeting poi head to hand. Now stall a little further and meet hand to hand. Now take it even further and stall up and down , hands going past each other and poi going into an extension, straight up and down.
