"Spinning and dancing with poi has opened a door to a joyful discovery of feeling and experiencing my body in space, movement and rhythm.  Thank you for providing me this opportunity through your school and teachings!  I am lucky to have you in my life!"
~K. Keating; January, 2008

"This evolution (of Temple of Poi) must be amazingly exciting for you. I think it is entirely appropriate, by the way, that the name is
Temple of Poi
and not just
School of Poi.
You are building/growing something really great. Right on. :-)"
