Welcome to Simply Poi, where I offer coaching sessions for people of all ages and abilities on using poi spinning as a therapeutic tool for brain health and wellness.
Let's work together to boost brain performance, prevent cognitive decline, and cultivate overall wellness through engaging exercises, activities, and practices that'll challenge and nourish your mind.










Poi spinning isn’t just about entertainment—it’s also a powerful tool for boosting your brain and body.
Poi spinning enhances brain health by improving coordination, motor skills, and balance. It engages both sides of the brain, sharpening neural connections and keeping your mind agile. For individuals with neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, poi spinning can support motor function, reduce stress, and improve overall quality of life.
Beyond physical benefits, poi spinning serves as a moving meditation. It’s a fantastic way to reduce anxiety, enhance focus, and experience the calming flow state. Whether you’re a kid, an adult, a beginner, or a senior, poi spinning is an inclusive activity that’s easy to enjoy. It’s also a great way to connect with others, laugh, and have fun!
