From the reviews

Incredibly welcoming environment with fantastic instructors. I came in with no experience and next to no upper body strength. I was amazed how quickly they got us in the air and doing tricks in the intro series. I was expecting to take one class for fun and realize it wasn't for me.

★★★★★ — Kristin, Jan 2021

From the first day I set foot in Suspend's beautiful training facility, I've felt welcome. Or -- not just welcome, actually. Embraced. Adopted. Valued in spite of and even *because of* all my intrinsic weirdness.

★★★★★ — Asher, Jun 2016

Suspend is more than a studio. It is a safe space, a community, a place to recover and rediscover yourself. When you walk through the door you are more than just a guest, you are a part of something rare and almost magical. Suspend is about all the things we tend to lose in the toil of day-to-day living.

★★★★★ — Jodi, Nov 2022

I attended the aerial yoga class as a drop in. It was welcoming and not intimidating at all, as long as you have some idea of what to expect with aerial yoga using a sling/swing. The sling was mostly a prop to aid in yoga postures done from the floor.

Your first pole class at Suspend

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.
