GLOW

At GLOW, we aim to grow through flow. Bringing movement, mindfulness, and fun together through engaging flow arts workshops for kids. Designed to support focus, wellbeing, and self-expression, our classes introduce a playful and powerful way to learn through the body.

What We Do

We offer hands-on workshops in:

Poi

Dragon Staff

Rope Dart

Staff

Juggling

Slackline and Acro Yoga

Fire arts (for advanced or showcase events)

Each workshop is designed to be fun, inclusive, and skill-based—while also offering something deeper.

The typical lesson plan is a 5min wam up, followed by two 15 min sessions of learning a new skill or trick in one of the flow styles offered, followed by 20 mins of free play where the students get to pick a prop they are resignating with and focus on developing this. This layout means the class is encouraged to try all the props and expand their range but also give them the chance to work further on the style they are drifting further towards. Free play will be supervised in a floating teaching style, working at getting that targeted trick down! At the end of the class a discussion will be had as to what they would like to work on next week.

A box of props will be left at the school for the kids to practice with during lunch breaks, and discussions of lent props to take home and practice can also be discussed.

Active Meditation in Motion

Our workshops aren’t just about learning tricks—they’re about learning to focus, stay present, and move with awareness. Through “active meditation,” children develop tools to:

Sharpen focus

Reduce stress

Regulate emotions

Build confidence

In a world full of screens and distractions, we offer a space to reconnect with the body and mind—through play by connecting to flow.

Flow is that moment when time melts away, and you’re fully immersed in what you’re doing. We are naturally wired to tap into this state through movement. Our goal is to create opportunities to experience this magic—while learning new skills, connecting with others, and having a great time.

Poi

Poi is a traditional Māori tool used in both cultural expression and physical training. It enhances strength, coordination, and flexibility. Today, poi has become a central discipline in the global flow arts movement, blending heritage with modern creativity.

Dragon Staff

A more modern prop, it was popularised in early 2000's by Krisztian Gora. It differs from staff in that it is a contact prop, useing the spikes inertia it balances and moves all over the body

Juggling

An ancinet practice that can be traced to Egypt(4,000+ years), China and Greece and Rome it needs no introduction. One of the most benificail of all the flows for the hand-eye, timing and rhythem, focus and bilatteral (left and right) brain coordination

Slackline

Slacklining is all about balance, focus and calm. Originating from the rock climbing culture in the 70's it now has all kinds of styles such as, trick lining, highlining and longlining. Useing core strength, coordination, and confidence you walk a line set up between two trees useing only your body for balance.

Staff

Staff spinning is a dynamic flow art that builds coordination, strength, and focus. It includes two styles:

Non-contact – spinning, tossing, and catching the staff with your hands
Contact – rolling the staff across your body using momentum and control
