Poi Pixie Workshops Testimonials
The Poi Pixies have been instructing Poi Workshops in their downtown Victoria Studio since the Spring of 2001. It is our pleasure to have shared in the growth of the global Poi and Spinning Community, and to be able to spend the time learning and sharing with all of you!
"Most of my experiences with the Poi Pixies have been with the Head Pixie herself, Natasha Bird, who has been a source of support and inspiration to me since I met her four years ago. I've adventured all over the world in Poi related circles since then, so I say this from a place of wide poispective: Natasha is a talented poi artist, a great teacher, a wizard at community development, and a bright and beautiful spirit. You will most definitely be doing yourself a favor by checking out the Pixies."

" Poi sure did teach me alot about myself and how I learn. It was a big self realization that changed my life in more ways than one. It reawakened the goddess inside thanks to the support and encouragement of Natasha. Thank you again Poi Pixies for a fun summer and allowing me shine once more."
- Cheryl Miller
"I am thrilled that I found the Poi Pixies. The instructors are great and I feel fortunate to have met them. The classes are relaxing, fun, interesting, challenging and rewarding. It feels great progressing through the different moves. The instructors recognize that people learn differently and are very good at coming up with different ways of presenting the moves so that everyone can learn them. I can't wait for my next class!"

"I have been spinning poi for two years and it all started right here with the Poi Pixies. It's not just a dancing art form; poi spinning was originally created to train warriors. Ambidexterity, agility, and upper body strength are all an important part of poi spinning and once you start there will be a noticeable improvement in all of these areas. It's nice to be able to dance, but the rush of the fire spinning past my head is what keeps me coming back for more. It's also fun to be the life of the party and the center of attention. For the other guys out there thinking of taking classes, but aren't sure about becoming a pixie:
A Fyre Dancer has no fear and he is as wild as the element he wields."

"Learning poi spinning with Natasha and Jess was truly a fun experience and very inspiring. These instructors know their stuff and were very good at breaking down the complexity of the moves so that i could learn them. It's amazing what you can do with poi. The moves are beautiful and have added another way for me to move and dance - two things I love. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiration. Looking forward to more workshops!"

"Poi has entered my life at just the right moment. A time where I was searching for a physical way to move, dance, be creative, focus and meditate. A Poi Pixie I am proud to be! I am spinning into a land or realm of truth and magic"
- Amanda Smith
"I have always been a slow learner, so when I came to this class and caught on I discovered a whole new side of me I didn't know I had in me! It makes me wish I really did have pixie wings!!!"
- Elizabeth Wegerif
"I started to become a Pixie... and I know that that Poi will be with me forever. It is music, meditation, rhythm, energy. Its great to share."

"Poi makes me feel like I am a goddess. I am centered in my universe, and the heavenly bodies revolve around me in their intricate orbits. I am all knowing, all powerful but I am not a vengeful goddess, I am peaceful. I exist in everything. I am pure light and motion. My universe is beautiful and poetic, in its every revolution my soul is reflected. Thank you, Poi Pixies, for the gift of being able to travel to this universe any time I like.
- Kelly Dunning
"The workshops have been one of the best experiences ever, so much fun. The first time I saw poi I knew I wanted to learn this magical dance, and you made it possible. Thank you so much!
- Pixie Kimberley
"Poi reminds me of Tai Chi - The flowing movements - The constant movements - The circulation of energy - Pushing out the bad and used - Bringing in the good and new. The Poi Workshops make me feel refreshed and when I get a move it's SO satisfying"
