Posture and Poi-Fu for Poi

Refine your baseline posture for poi so your body stays safe, strong, and efficient while you move. Nick Woolsey focuses on a tall, lengthened spine with gentle pelvic floor activation, an open chest, and relaxed shoulder placement, using Poi Fu principles to support the core without crunching or over-tensioning.

You then drill clean side-to-side turning mechanics by pivoting through both feet and lifting the back heel so the whole body rotates together. This helps keep knees tracking over toes, reduces torque in the joints, and builds a repeatable turning default you can layer into weaves and other turning patterns.
