"As a complete hooping novice, I was timid about going into a class environment. The Temple of Poi's reputation of being the Bay Area's hotbed of firedance, poi and other flow arts further intimidated me. Looking back, this was foolish and unnecessary.
Classes are tailored for each individual's level and the kind and supportive environment not only encourages learning, but inspires how I treat myself in other non-hooping areas of my life. Instruction happens on two distinct levels: movements are conceptually broken down into its structural parts and a go-for-it, trial-and-error, playful atmosphere of learning by doing. I leave inspired by myself, by fellow classmates and Isa, the instructor."
