Temple of Poi
HistoryOur vision is to actively cultivate increased physical dexterity and mental acuity for our flow meditation students in an effort to facilitate euphoric states and a sense of oneness. Temple of Poi classes are developed with this holistic journey in mine. To support improvements in the physical skills of the flow arts, we offer comprehensive structures, drills, models, and distinctions which continually deepen the artists relationship to their flow tools. As the art form matures, we evolve our curriculum, continually affording student diverse material to study. At the same time, our classes educate beyond the technical focus and continually encourage development of a powerful and positive mindset. Integrating this mindset deepens our understanding of Self, yielding greater confidence, compassion, grace, positivity and acceptance practitioners experience within their flow practice (and life). As artists develop these attitudes, they release tensions and stress while increasing opennessSpecialties* Founded in San Francisco, California in 2002, Temple of Poi expanded to a primarily virtual format in response to COVID, allowing us to support the global flow community with live classes and coaching aligned specifically with your needs. * We schedule limited group classes available to the public and create customized private courses scheduled for you/r group, either virtually or at your location.
