Learn Flow Arts in Bengaluru: Hoop, Poi & Dapostar Workshops

Beyond the Basics: Learning Through Flow

I view flow arts as a form of embodied cognition. When you learn to hoop or spin poi, you aren't just memorizing choreography; you are learning to read the physics of the object. My 'Basics & Beyond' approach is designed to demystify this process. We break down the technical maneuvers—isolations, tosses, and wraps—into digestible patterns, moving away from 'math trauma' and into what I call 'math in motion.'

What to Expect in a Session

My workshops are collaborative, not authoritative. Whether we are working with:

• Hula Hoops: Focusing on core engagement, symmetry, and waist hooping techniques.
• Poi: Exploring orbital patterns, planes, and the geometry of spin.
• Dapostar: Learning balance and foundational manipulation.

We start with a grounding exercise to check in with our bodies. From there, we explore the specific mechanics of the prop. If a move feels tricky or if you drop your prop, we laugh about it. It's all part of the process. I believe that mistakes are simply data points that help us adjust our technique.

Building the Community

I am deeply committed to the Bangalore flow arts scene. These workshops are a way to expand our circle of 'flowmies' and create a safe space for people to express themselves physically. If you have been curious about how science and art intersect, or if you just want to move your body in a non-judgmental, inclusive space, come join a session. No athletic background is required—just an open mind and a willingness to explore the spin.
