Welcome to HoP
There's a few things that can help on here...
POI LESONS
[Old link]

The best bit of advice I can give is to try to spin slowly and remember that if you think you are going to hit yourself to hold your arm away from your body (your poi should ideally be short enough to not hit you when you do this).
Also, at the top of this forum is a post that contains a questionnaire to fill out. When you get a minute add it to this topic. Its a really good way for people to get to know you
