You are well supported along the way then once complete the opportunity to grow is there through the potential SpinPoi offers as a creative movement modality. – Lesley
I ran my first SpinPoi class at a local age care facility. The residents were so engaged and loved having a new fun experience. The Lifestyle Coordinator said “One of the residents attending who is 101 said it was the best exercise class he’s ever done and felt good for his brain.” They are 100% on board now with SpinPoi workshops. – Diane
The SpinPoi Course has made me better and more confident as an instructor. The course is comprehensive and detailed but not rushed, and additional resources are readily available. I feel much more knowledgeable and prepared, and I no longer feel as though something is missing when compositing future classes. – Anonymous
