Exploring the modes of poi movement

Work through a full-body warm-up, then use it to explore core poi movement modes while staying loose through the shoulders, hips, and weight shifts. You’ll drill same-time versus split-time spinning in forward and backward directions, noticing how timing changes the feel and coordination.

Nick Woolsey also has you switch planes between side wheel planes and a wall plane in front, including inward and outward opposites. Shorten the tethers for close-control practice, and use playful range-of-motion changes to reveal where your plane control breaks down so you can track improvement across the course.
