Beginner Pole 8-week series - Shakti Flow
Completed Shakti Rising Series or wanting to dive straight in to pole dance? This is where you’ll start – our first level and your journey to Pole Fitness Classes!
The foundation of all our pole dance classes. We will introduce you to the perfect mix of sensual movement and pole work, transforming the body and mind. You will be warmed up with a Pilates and yoga based floor workout – teaching you moves that you can also use at home to strengthen for the pole! We will teach you a pole routine that includes spins, transitions, and strength holds! Wear comfortable workout clothing, and no footwear is required as we dance barefoot.
Next series begins on:
Intermediate Pole - Shakti Float
This is a mixed pole level class, after completing your Shakti Flow series you are ready to float. We recommend you become a member by this stage as we do not want to restrict your energies by a number of weeks. This level is for self exploration as well as learning to physically float and suspend in your spins and movements. Goddesses will continue to explore more challenging spins, tricks & transitions and be introduced to pole climbing, sitting and inverting. Prerequisite to attend requires instructor approval and successful completion of Shakti Flow.
This class is on Tuesdays at 7:15 pm

Pole Classes
Liquid Pole
Liquid Pole is everything Liquid Motion. The only difference is now the vertical pole is your apparatus in addition to the base of the pole and the floor. One of Liquid Motion's building blocks is rooted within ones connection to your sacral chakra located within your pelvis. When your sacral chakra is balanced you have the ability to flow, to open yourself sensually to experience oneness with yourself. You will learn how to apply Liquid Motion's methodology by utilizing the 5 fundamentals and 5 techniques for floor work in your pole work to ultimately give you the fluidity to create that seamless organic flow you desire in your pole dance movement.
Must have completed one session of 8-week Beginner Pole.
Attire: pole wear and knee pads are a must, heels or barefoot, theraband, a yoga mat as well as yoga blocks.
This class is on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm

Sensuous Flow
What happens when we slow down and explore our sensations? This class combines sequence based movements and prompts with an invitation to notice what is happening internally and externally. Students can expect a combination of technical exploration as it relates to feeling and using momentum, weight shifts, contact points and rotation/spirals as well as prompt-based guided movement. Come prepared with layers, knee pads, and most importantly: curiosity.
Coming back on schedule soon!
Pole PT
Struggling to climb or invert? Can't quite figure out that move you've been trying to learn? This is the class for you!

We will focus on building strength, stamina, and endurance both on and off the pole, so be ready to work hard and break a sweat! All levels welcome!
