The Flow Hub is poi and flow arts in Egypt, led by Sarah Tarek Khedr. Lessons, virtual workshops, community events and practice poi.
Sarah, known online as @poi.stk, trained with SpinPoi, the movement and wellness organization founded in New Zealand by Dr. Kate Riegle van West, whose PhD at the University of Auckland studied the health benefits of poi.
She founded The Flow Hub to bring people together through social circus and flow arts, and teaches complete beginners and experienced spinners, in person across Egypt and online worldwide.

They are forgiving, quiet and safe indoors. The guide explains how each type differs.
Poi comes from Māori culture in Aotearoa New Zealand, where it has been part of performance and training for generations. Sarah’s teaching carries that lineage through SpinPoi.
Most tutorials teach isolated moves. Sarah starts with planes, stalls and transitions, so you can link anything to anything and find your own dance.
Choose a plane, a spin direction and a number of petals to see the shape poi draws.

Poi is a light weight on a cord. Simple to hold, surprisingly deep to learn, and gentle enough for most bodies.
Your left and right keep separate timing while your eyes track two moving objects. It builds coordination, reaction and a precise sense of where your body is. Sarah calls it a brain gym.
Steady circles leave little room for your to-do list. Many spinners describe it as moving meditation: focused, absorbed and calmer afterwards.
No impact and no gym. Poi can be done standing or seated, with options for lower mobility. If you are recovering from an injury or condition, check with your doctor or physio first.
Props chosen by an instructor who watches beginners use them. Not sure which one? The first spin kit is the safe answer.

Sarah talks with host Mario George about working as a poi instructor, whether anyone can do it, and where to start. In Arabic, 1 hour 5 minutes.
Poi is a weight on a cord, usually one in each hand, spun in circles around your body. It comes from Māori culture in New Zealand and is now practiced worldwide as dance, exercise and performance.
Most beginners can do a basic weave within a few sessions. Short, regular practice works better than occasional long sessions.
A University of Auckland trial with adults aged 60 to 86 found poi about as effective as Tai Chi for physical and cognitive function over four weeks. It is one study in healthy adults, so treat it as encouraging rather than a guarantee.
