From the reviews

Natalie was so welcoming and inviting! I also love that even though the class says "beginner" spin pole, all levels are welcome. This means that even though I have some familiarity with pole, I can comfortably be there, and, in the future, I can invite my friends who have less experience, but we can still be in class…

Lani, Marissa, and Anne Bodhi create a tangeably supportive space space for a woman to take up space, breathe, express, expand her vocabulary of what it means to live in a female body, connect in sisterhood, and so much more.

★★★★★ — Racquel, Dec 2021

I don't think I've ever been to a studio quite like SFactor. This place is a second home to me, and has taught me so much about my body. I still remember the first time I timidly walked in and discovered this breathtaking place to work out. It's the best exercise I have ever found... I'm in the best shape of my life.

★★★★★ — Alexa, Sep 2017

I cannot thank Lani and all of her phenomenal teachers at the Haus of Embodiment enough. Janet is one of the amazing teachers at the Haus. She is so sweet and intuitive. Janet creates such a "safe space," helping me return to these sacred rooms and discover and reclaim lost parts of myself.

Your first pole class at Haus of Embodiment

Nervous about your first pole class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects total beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. You don't need to be strong, flexible, or thin to start — pole builds all of that, and your first class is about learning to spin, walk the pole, and hold on, not inverting on day one. What to expect: a warm-up, some conditioning, and a few basic spins or a short combo — it's a real full-body workout, so expect to sweat and to feel it in your arms and core the next day. Rest whenever you need to; no one is watching or judging. What to wear: shorts and a tank or sports bra — bare skin on your arms, legs, and stomach is what grips the pole, so save the leggings for aerial or floorwork. Skip the lotion the day of class; it makes the pole slippery. Grip aids: most studios keep grip liquid (Dry Hands / iTac) on hand, and knee pads make floorwork comfy — ask at the front desk. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people leave their first class already planning the next one.

Pole is for every body, and it's about strength, artistry, and confidence — not performing for anyone else. If you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
