Another left-right coordination approach

Practise a left–right coordination drill by isolating one poi spinning while the other hangs and your arms swing naturally like walking, rising only to about horizon height. Nick Woolsey frames this as an alternative to the reverse-to-right/left progression, giving you another way to train split attention and clean arm mechanics.

You’ll explore timing the switch so the hanging poi becomes the spinner and vice versa, noticing how direction changes can make the handover feel smoother. Use this as a conditioning and control exercise to reduce tension, improve independence between sides, and build readiness for cleaner transitions in more complex patterns.
