Celebrate Matariki with Spin Poi! All welcome.

Deb from Kilbirnie

Playing with poi is a lot of fun! Spin Poi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted to be a safe and effective exercise, especially for older populations. On top of the usual benefits of exercise, typically people will see improvements in grip strength, attention, focus, balance and coordination.

No need to book. Poi provided. Suitable for beginners to intermediate. The class is 45 minutes long and we cover:
o Welcome, safety reminders & warm up
o Practice poi movements
o Playtime! Usually we have a variety of music but this week it's Matariki themed.
o Cool down

THIS WEEK'S TIMETABLE:
o Tuesday, 5pm, Kilbirnie Community Centre - $5
o Wednesday, 2pm, on Zoom - $5
o Thursday, 11am, Strathmore Park Community Centre - usually $2 but FOC this week

Ask me more about any of the classes!
