Why take classes?

Students might want to consider taking classes to:

  • share the learning experience with others
  • accelerate your learning process
  • avoid developing "bad" (ineffective) habits
  • get assistance with challenging moves
  • find a study group of people at the same level

 

Why take classes at Temple of Poi?

Temple of Poi classes offer students:

  • training in the mindset that will encourage flow, growth, learning and self expression
  • powerful distinctions which guide artists toward a deeper understanding of poi
  • access to teachers who can pinpoint areas of improvement and reduce learning time
  • small sized classes so each student gets personalized attention
  • techniques, drills, practices and sequential learning which reduces frustration and makes the learning curve enjoyable
  • a wide variety of classes, each with a unique focus, to help artists hone the specific skills they are most drawn to
  • a comprehensive developmental model that empowers each artist to learn for themselves
  • a fun, friendly, supportive community where people are encouraged to find their own unique expression of Self

 

Aren't there other places that are cheaper?

While there are other places that offer classes which cost less money, the classes are not focused on the same results.

Temple of Poi classes offer a comprehensive understanding of the structure of poi to empower each artist to teach themselves new moves both in and out of the classroom. Our classes go beyond teaching moves by teaching artists higher level concepts that can be applied in a variety of ways.

At the same time, while we are training students how to move their poi and body, we are also training students how to use their mind to create a mentality that encourages fun in the learning process -- not just with poi, but in life.

Our approach is a holistic one as we coach artists toward their center. Our classes facilitate student's gaining a deeper understanding of the connection between their body, mind and spirit by creating a safe, judgment free, positive environment designed to encourage growth and development.

The value of the class in dramatically increased as a result of our overall approach to teaching.

 

Aren't all Temple of Poi Classes indoor in small studios?

Except for our fire classes, Temple of Poi classes are indoors in mirrored studios. Our class sizes are intentionally small to maximize the value of the classes and ensure each student gets individual attention from the instructor.

 

Can I makeup a class?

Students may attend a makeup class for an additional. Please see our class policies for full details.
