138. Beginning Poi Spinner with Marie Conger

Originating in the Maori culture of New Zealand, Poi Spinning is a form of movement art using a pair of weighted cords. There are many reasons to spin poi.  It will increase your concentration and cultivate patience and persistence; it will help you become more flexible and give your muscles a workout; it will create a sense of balance within and promote creativity by becoming a moving meditation.  The best reason is that it is great FUN! Participants will learn some basic moves, the physics of poi spinning and little tricks to make practicing at home a pleasure. Practice poi will be provided, but students are welcome to bring their own.
