A fun little video from the night we filmed the staff tutorials with Banyan. Intro music by Taal Fiza

Some clips from a fire show some good friends and I put together last summer. Wish me luck getting more performance opportunities! :)

The Mighty Banyan is one of our favorite fire performers (and yoga teachers) ever. This is him performing with double staffs in Thailand and India. To contact him about performances and yoga classes, email templeroots at gmail dot com.

Yay! This is the second Nick+Yuta video, and the "Directors Cut" of our COL2007 entry (meaning much more fire spinning footage). A big thanks to Yuta for editing this one, and to Dan, Gordon, MK, Claus, Michie, and Isa for all the help. You guys rock!

Several people requested more performance videos, so here is some of my favorite footage from our flowtoys shoot in Bali. Shows how fun it can be to bend your planes sometimes.

I am slowly working towards some epic new videos, with special friends, but for that you'll have to wait while I finish a few other things from the big list ;)

And remember, you can go buy some flowtoys if you like what you see!

In the spring of 2005, filmmaker Bob Narayan came to the Poi Studio to shoot a short documentary. He did a most excellent job. His brother Hamen did the sound. Many thanks to both! It features very beautiful inodoor spinning with light, and an interview with Nick Woolsey about poi and the Playpoi vision.

I put this together spontaneously after watching a video of myself fire spinning in Thailand. It's a bit... personal. It's dedicated to anybody who ever goes through depression or low self-esteem. I've been through my share, and I know it can help to know you're not alone, so this is me saying that you most definitely have permission to love yourself, and there is a way back to the happy juices, and no, it has nothing to do with other people thinking you're good at fire spinning :) (Music by MIA.)

Hey, check it out, we finished our flowtoys.com: video. These are my favorite LED poi, produced by the amazing Sean and Prisna. (Yes, this is what we are using in most of those photos). This is exciting as they've signed me up as an affiliate member, so if you click through and buy something, I get a percentage, which puts me all the closer to getting my own video camera! Oh, and they are selling and wholesaling our DVDs in North America so it is overall very exciting :)
