North Shore Pole

I finally got time to take the lyra class at North Shore Pole (I'd really love to do sling, but they have no sling classes and I'd love to do the silks, but the schedules is even more difficult for me to get to that.) I'm having to skip taekwondo sparring as it is, so I will have to evaluate priorities as I see how quickly I progress.

Finally a place I can feel comfortable that isn't too far of a drive (it is still 20 minutes, but that's not as bad as some of the other places.) The teachers was really understanding (even when I was afraid) and did a really good job of getting me up and doing things right away. I'm so glad I'm already fairly strong (though my upper body strength is still horrible) since the warm-up was challenging. But the best thing was being surrounded by all different shapes and sizes of bodies, especially after my bad experience with Elevation Aerial & Circus Arts.

I'm signed up for 3 more classes and I then I'll see how I'm feeling, how I'm progressing and how much sparring I want to miss.
