Known online as @leafywindz, Jenna Moshes is a multi-prop powerhouse from the Northeast. Whether she's spinning poi, kendama, hoop, or flow star, her expressive movement and heartfelt storytelling shine through. Flow arts didn’t just inspire her—it saved her. Now, she's here to pass that inspiration forward.
When Did Your Journey Begin, and How Did You Fall in Love With Flow Arts?
When I was 21, I lost a close friend and spiraled, turning to alcohol and drugs to numb the pain. A few months later, I almost skipped EZOO 2014, but something in me said yes. That weekend, someone handed me a set of poi—and everything changed. I gave up the substances for lights, raves, and love. Flow became my way to heal and remember who I was. I never looked back.
How Would You Describe Yourself Now That Flow Arts Are Integral to Your Lifestyle?
I would describe myself as a human being facing a human experience—with the tools to explore my emotions through an art that speaks to me. Without poi, I wouldn’t know myself as deeply as I do. When I am sad, I pick up my props. Even if it doesn’t fix it, I am moving, present, flowing, and feeling. Flowing keeps me living!

How Has the Flow Arts Community Impacted Your Life and Supported Your Creative Growth?
Flow arts gave me space to grow, connect, and be fully present. It opened doors I never expected—letting me travel, meet amazing people, and even perform for crowds of 22,000. Every moment has reminded me how far I’ve come. I’m endlessly grateful, and it’s truly been transformative.
Who or What Inspires Your Flow Practice and Style?
The person who first inspired my flow is no longer here, and their loss led me to this art in unexpected ways. Along the way, I found artists like @antispinner and @timmehtek—whose unique styles reminded me that flow doesn’t need rules. I’ve learned to follow my spirit and let that be enough.
What Aspects of Flow Arts Are Most Meaningful to You, and What Drives Your Passion?
Flow has always been about community. My purpose is to help that community grow and shine—lifting each other up through movement and expression. We won’t always agree, but when we spin, something beautiful happens. We’re connected in those moments and I’m honored to be part of that.
How Do You Personally Define Flow State, and What Does Reaching That State Mean to You When Spinning?
Flow state is total surrender and connection. I’ll never forget when it first clicked—I felt like Avatar the Last Airbender, completely in sync with everything around me. The sand shifted with each movement. I was there, but also gone. It wasn’t me spinning the poi—it was the poi moving through me. That’s flow.
Anything Else You’d Like to Share With the Community?
I’d like to add some advice to new artists:
Do not let any company, small business, or person discourage you from spinning!
You will run into moments that make you feel you are not enough. I am here to tell you that the more they say you aren’t—the more we need you here. Your voice, your flow, your art—we need you. You are loved. You are always welcome in the world of flow. Make the absolute best of it. It exists for you, because of you!
