learn poi

I’m back in my apartment in athens, and besides the fact that classes have left me with far less time to practice, I’ve run up against a dilemma: the ceilings in this place are too low. When I try to practice, I end up bashing the ceilings with the poi…and it’s far too hot to practice outside in the daytime. Hmm…

I’ve been practicing pretty regularly, and as a result when I went swimming with friends today, everybody pointed out the bruising I had mysteriously acquired on my back. It took me a while to connect the dots. But hey, I can sort of do Shoulder & Hip Reels…

My poi arrived today – a birthday gift from my girlfriend. They’re Dube kite poi, but obviously for now the kite attachments are off while I learn the basics. Who knows how long it will be before they come back on…
