CREATIVITY AND SELF-EXPRESSION
Poi spinning is a creative form of expression that allows practitioners to develop their unique style and repertoire of moves. Engaging in creative activities has been linked to improved mood, self-esteem, and overall psychological well-being.
MINDFULNESS AND MEDITATION
Flow arts, including poi spinning, can serve as a form of moving meditation, where practitioners cultivate mindfulness by tuning into their breath, body sensations, and the rhythmic motion of the poi. This can promote relaxation, mental clarity, and emotional balance.

Participating in the flow arts community, whether online or in-person, provides opportunities for social interaction, collaboration, and shared experiences. Building connections with others who share a passion for poi spinning can contribute to a sense of belonging and support.
