Mantra: I do not need to be perfect to achieve my goals
Tips: I want to be clear about the goal of this class. It's not to "get" you to invert. Really, it's about building strength, skills, and confidence for the invert. You'll gain a better understanding of the invert and your own body and mind. You might be inverting by the end of this program, you might not—one is not better than the other, there is no expectation! It can be hard to commit to doing something with no expectation behind it, so if that's the case for you, the expectation for this class is to be open to a more holistic approach to pole education.
Question: What was the most challenging skill for you today? What did you find to be the most fun or enjoyable?
Homework: Write down 1-5 things you're most worried about, then list 1-5 things you're most excited about. *Hint* It's okay if what comes out isn't related to pole dance at all because chances are it's been playing in your subconscious, which can affect anything you're doing, including learning something new.
