There's still time to try out some Spin Poi this week!

Deb from Kilbirnie

Three more Intro to Spin Poi classes lined up, and one Open class if you've played with poi before. All are free or koha. No need to book, just turn up. Poi provided. Although they are Seniors week events, all ages are welcome.

* Thursday, 12 Nov, 4pm - Intro to Spin Poi - Kilbirnie Community Centre (temporary premises behind Farmers) - if you can't make it for 4pm, I will be doing a short taster at 3.30pm as well.
* Thursday, 12 Nov, 5pm - Spin Poi Open class (ongoing) - Kilbirnie Community Centre
* Friday, 13 Nov, 11.30am - Intro to Spin Poi - Karori Community Centre
* Saturday, 14 Nov, 10am - Intro to Spin Poi - Strathmore Park Community Centre

SpinPoi can be done sitting or standing and is suitable for almost everyone. Inspired by traditional poi, it has been adapted by Dr Kate Riegle van West 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. For more information on SpinPoi, and to see people playing with poi, go to www.spinpoi.com...
