Turning with poitruvian poi

Work turning while maintaining Poitruvian poi in both directions. Nick Woolsey frames the turn as the same timing you use in a large front-crawl arm pattern, using the ‘back hand comes up’ cue to organise which direction you’re travelling.

You’ll drill open-turn-close cycles, aiming to stay patient until the poi reaches the ‘horizon’ before initiating rotation. This helps you keep the plane consistent through the turn, avoid turning too early, and smoothly switch between clockwise and counterclockwise Poitruvian as you reorient your body.
