Welcome: Invert Class

Hello and welcome to my Invert class. In this class you'll be learning my Controlled Momentum style of inverting along with developing a stronger sense of self-awareness and mindfulness.

This week-long class is suitable for those who have completed my Intermediate level 1 program or for anyone looking to learn how to utilize or teach others my method of Controlled Momentum for flowing inverts.

Items you'll need:

• Pole
• Yoga block or large towel (we only use this once)
• A notebook and pen

I truly believe pole dance can be a wonderful tool for self-discovery and growth. My hope is this class will facilitate this no matter where you are in your journey.

Here's a list of tips for practicing mindfulness:

• Recognize when your mind is telling stories (a story has nothing provable or factual about it and it's not occurring in the present moment) — it's just a thought. Versus a real event that happens in the present moment which has provable and factual aspects that others can see too!
• Reality happens in the present moment.
• Things do not have to be black and white, good or bad — they can just be.
• It's not about pushing away feelings or stopping thoughts but rather acknowledging them without judgment or suppression.
