Poi is a licensed pediatric occupational therapist and a yoga teacher on the side. He started practicing yoga back in 2015, finding research articles about it being effective in helping kids with special needs. His journey as a student was driven by how mindful moving and breathing influenced his life outside the mat. After a year of consistent practice, he took his first teacher training course. To date, he is certified in Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Rocket, and Floating Yoga. His passion for teaching - both in the clinic and on the mat - is greatly influenced by three things: the power of purpose, the potential of consistent practice, and strength manifested both physically and that of the heart.
