Where it Began
FlowlaPo was born from a single spark — a late-night fire circle where movement, music and community collided into something magical. What started as a personal practice grew into a calling.
Our founder, Karina, discovered flow arts through travel — from beach jam sessions in Southeast Asia to underground circus communities in Europe. Each flame she danced with told a story.
Art in Motion
FlowlaPo means "flow" and "lapo" — a word from the Tagalog language meaning to soar, to leap, to be free. It perfectly captures what we strive for in every performance.
We believe flow arts are a bridge between the primal and the poetic. When fire meets movement, something ancient awakens — both in the performer and the audience.
Crafting the Props
Frustrated by the lack of quality, travel-friendly flow props, Karina began crafting her own modular sock poi — durable, lightweight, and endlessly customisable.
The FlowlaPo Modular Poi Builder was born from this necessity. Today, our props are used by flow artists across the globe, from beginners on hostel rooftops to professional stage performers.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Rooted in Nature
We draw inspiration from the elements — fire, wind, earth — and strive to create performances that feel ancient and alive.
Ignited by Passion
Every performance is an act of devotion. We pour genuine passion into every flame, every spin, every moment.
Community First
We believe in the power of community and collaboration. Flow arts are most alive when shared with others.
