3:30- 4:30 Zen and the Art of Pole $45

Pole artistry meets mindfulness! During this class, we’ll use guided breathwork in combination with our movement practice to bring about a magical connection between the two. This is a mindful meditation practice, no specific choreography or moves will be taught; the session is an exploration of mindful movement and connection to the moment through our breath and the vehicle of our bodies. 

No pole or movement experience required. No specific pole clothing required. Bring an open mind and a willingness to explore new ideas.
