10 Year Poleversary

Happy 10 year Poleversary to me!! Right around now, 10 years ago I went to Taboo and got a $5 class card for Tantra Fitness. Shortly after I took intro to pole and I haven't looked back since. I have progressed slowly through the levels and the first few years I didn't attend class regularly due to summers of fieldwork. I made my way through all the levels, and felt the need to learn all of the big and latest tricks; which led to my fair share of frustration and more than a few years. Eventually I realized that this kind of practice was no longer the pole journey for me. I started focusing more on flow, and tricks that I really liked and not just what I thought I should be doing. In the fall of 2015 I competed in my first pole competition, followed by 2 in 2016 and one in 2017. I love looking back on these routines and seeing my style, abilities and choreography grow.

In March of 2015 I taught my first class, and in December of that year I started teaching my first regular class (202). Since then I have gone on to receive training in, teach and sub 101-404, lyrical, polefit, pole flow and stretching. Teaching has been such an amazing part of my pole journey and I really love it.

Once I started focusing on flow, tricks I love and teaching I felt I found peace within my own pole journey. I am so grateful I was able to continue poling through pregnancy and that I have been able to come back to it so quickly. I can't wait to see where this journey takes me next, and that I get to keep doing and sharing something that I love.
