Instructor Training Log 10: Final Thoughts
Well friends, it's the final blog of my instructor training logs! I hope you’ve all enjoyed this journey with me as I reflected on the whole training process. While I could get cheesy and say something along the lines of I’ll never stop learning, and will always be a...
Building My Confidence
When I started to attend pole classes, I had no idea how much it would positively affect my confidence level and body image. My relationship with my body has always been a bit of a rollercoaster. I stepped on the scale more than I would really like to admit. A lot of...
Lessons from Pole Class
I have learned many lessons in taking beginner pole. It has been quite an experience and I am very excited to continue my pole journey. One lesson I have learned is that you don’t have to be flexible, fit or thin to pole dance. I always thought that you had to be a...
Instructor Training Log 9: Phasing Out of Classes
Hello, hello! Training has been going nonstop it feels like. I open up my calendar app to see which studio I’ll be training at this weekend and which class or apparatus we’ll be training and learning about this time. On top of also attending my term pole classes,...

Just Try It, You Might Like it!
If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would ever consider doing aerial dance, I would've told you you're crazy. I never in a million years thought I would be strong enough to do it. This past year I took a leap of faith and decided "what's the worst thing...
