More on jiggies behind the back and head - essential for turning freely

Refine behind-the-back jiggies as a foundation for freer turning and cleaner behind-the-back weaves. Nick Woolsey emphasises the common habit of turning your sternum towards the poi to ‘watch’ them, and trains the opposite relationship: keep your back oriented to the poi as you turn so the poi lead and the body follows.

You’ll drill maintaining the same spin direction while moving the hands behind you, aiming for a consistent crossing point behind the body even without visual feedback. This improves timing, shoulder-led orientation, and smoother high turns that connect into behind-the-back patterns.
