★★★★★ — Emily, Nov 2025

I love this studio. There is a wide variety of classes so there is truly something for everyone. Whether you want a more mindful practice to really come home to yourself, or a more fiery practice to release the day, or aerial, or Pilates, or spin, there’s something that meets each goal and each season of your life.

I've been practicing yoga and aerial at Phoenix Rising over 3 years and love how there is a wide variety of classes offered at all different times of the day, making it easy for me to be able to attend a class close to daily. The teachers are great and the atmosphere is relaxed/non-intimidating.

Your first pole class at Phoenix Rising

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.
