"Poi: the greatest gift God ever gave."
~J. Matthews; January, 2008
"If I wasn't an addict before, I'm an addict now! :) Spinning fire for the first time last night was a mixture of sexy orgasmic like shudders, a tiny bit of fear, exhiliration, and joyful confidence. This journey is so awesome."
~M. Morin; December, 2007
"Last night, lighting up for the first
time, sent a river of adrenaline shooting through my veins. It was thrilling,
hypnotic, and mesmerizing and I can't wait to do it again!"
~ K. Medici; August, 2006
"I am so blessed to have found an amazing teacher to help me grow and develop as a poi dancer and performer. Before taking poi classes with Isa, I would have never performed in public and now I've performed twice in Union Square and once at Burning Man. I'm ready for my next challenge and performance. Poi is changing the world, one spinner at a time. If you want to bring poi into your life, Isa is one of the best teachers around. Thanks for everything Isa, I love you! :)"

"Every night after I leave your class
I feel more empowered."
~ A.Shuttleworth; November, 2004
"Poi is definitely difficult to teach, it demands patience, grace, assertiveness, and constructive honesty every second of the class, which is no small feat. Isa Isaacs is the Jedi Knight of Poi teachers. A Poi Master and a true Grand Teacher in the arcane samurai sense. Some teachers learn how to teach while teaching---but Isa has taught over a 1000 students at her school, Temple of Poi, and she takes the art of teaching seriously... Isa teaches by demonstrating the poi move, and then breaks it down into steps, the most difficult thing to do in Poi, knowing EXACTLY what ... you are doing, and being able to explain it. Even cooler, she hands out these cute little black books, so that you can write down the moves in her mathematical Poi shorthand."

"Worth every penny and more!"
~M. Sanders; October, 2005
"I can't speak highly enough about the classes I took over the past few weeks. The breadth and depth of my moves, flow, and dance capabilities have totally improved, and I'm having more fun than ever spinning! Many thanks for running a top notch learning environment."
~ S. Familian; November, 2007
"You are a beautiful example of how
helping each other enables us to be lifted to higher places in such a short
period of time."
~K. Werner; August, 2005
"You know I am very very impressed with
the empire you have built. Very fun and professional, good method, good attitude,
good people. Good prices."
~E. David; November, 2005
"Totally exceeded my expectations."
~ J. McCarley; September, 2005
"Everyday I look forward to learning
and practicing more. Thank you for providing so much inspiration and guidance."
~L. Hoppas; April, 2006
"Thanks for setting a standard and for
being a teacher who teaches about the learning process; that's worth more than
the 5 beat weave. I'm looking forward to the next class."
~K. Moore; July, 2005
"Temple Of Poi is FANTASTIC."
~ I. Boyle; August, 2006
"...thank you for introducing me to the
world of fire dancing. I had my first experience with fire last Wednesday night
in Sparky's class and it was just magic! The first spin you do with lit poi...
hearing that giant "Woosh!" as they go by... words are insufficient
to describe the emotions I experienced at that moment. For once, everything
else going on in the world melted away and the only thing left was an intense
awareness of myself and the fire. At that moment, all seemed right in the world,
like it was meant to be. As I sit here and fumble for words to express my gratitude
and excitement and torrent of emotions, I feel rather helpless. I know you understand
what I mean. Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift"
