The first weekend of March we held our very first pole retreat. Our theme...
"The Vibe Begins With Me"! We found an amazing space in Bellingham, loaded up the stage pole and were off for a great time. Plenty of planning went in to provide the very best experience for all the attendees. 

Friday night everyone arrived with anticipation, sleepover gear, and most importantly potluck food! These women really know how to eat :) They arrived to welcome swag/gifts on their beds and quickly settled in. After going over some weekend details the rest of the evening was spent eating, relaxing, and enjoying each others company.

Saturday morning we leapt right into pole workshops! Everyone had their own personalized schedule which included, Freedance, Liquid Motion, and Tricks & Contort with Jo Redding our guest instructor. It was a full day of pole and lots of smiling faces. After dinner we had a short visionary activity involving candles and cake followed by an evening filled with card games and the most laughter I have experienced in a long while! I don't think I'm alone in wishing time could have simply froze.

Sunday morning Revolution staff made everyone breakfast! Our thank you for being so awesome and sharing their time and talent all weekend long. 

Our Friday and Saturday were captured by Afton F. Lewis Photography which was pretty much the icing on the cake. Candids, silhouette shots, pole pictures, and of course our group picture all priceless. You can view our full retreat gallery HERE!

We are already looking forward to Revolution Retreat 2018!

Oh if I had a dollar for every time I heard "maybe when I lose x amount" or "I need to gain some strength first" or "I'm not flexible enough for that" or the hardest to hear "I'm too large to pole". I hear you, I DO! Yet, emphatically disagree each and every time.

Pole fitness and pole dancing holds no pre-requisites. Those with no athletic background have just as much to gain as those who do. Pole reaches into your soul first, celebrating what your body can do just as it is. Yes, the goal is to reach some physical gains (for most) but what's even more incredible is to witness the internal shift.

Thankfully there are some incredible women to look to for inspiration. Roz the Diva (who will also be visiting our studio soon) is a fierce example. As well as Emma Haslam. My very first pole sister showed me what an incredible mover any body can be and for that I am grateful.

​Dance, I think we can all agree everyone should dance... so why not add a pole!
