Student Testimonial of Yoga Pole Class:
“Yoga Pole does not teach you how to strip. There is no spinning in this class, no sashaying. No heels. You don’t pant maniacally so much as you breathe, deeply. During class, you don’t realize just how much your muscles are working until you wake up the next day and feel that your body has changed. I first took Yoga Pole in an attempt to get fit after months of being out-of-shape. With Carolyn’s patient and attentive guidance, I got more than just my body back. I can do things that most men can’t. I’ve developed the proper form and fitness to execute more advanced, acrobatic feats on the pole. I can now suspend my body above the ground using one arm, my abs, and a newfound stamina. Yoga Pole strengthens body and mind. And strength is sexy.” ~Mellisa Yoga Pole Student
