🫂Join us at the next Saturday in the Studio: Breathe. Release. Embody. We are thrilled to have the wonderful Anne Marie Schaffer (.me.anne.marie ) leading us on through a somatic breathwork experience.

🤍Somatic breathwork is a powerful healing modality that allows you to subconsciously access the stuck energy and emotions within the body. You will be encouraged to clear out what’s no longer serving you, in order to make space for the life you desire. Come with an open mind and heart for a truly transformational experience.

🍵Tea will be served. Come in comfortable clothes. Bring anything cozy you’d like to lay on, a mug and water. Optional items to bring: pillow eye mask, journal and pen.

Experience the energy and power of your own breath!

Saturday September 7th, 2-4pm
At ThePod Kona

$25 (open to general public)
Included in Unlimited Membership!

August - Student Spotlight: Harumi

WHEN DID YOU FIRST START POLE?
March 2021

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TRY POLE?
It was during Covid, so I wanted to try something new, and I was curious about what pole was.

WHAT ARE YOUR OTHER HOBBIES AND INTERESTS?
Piano, reading, listening to music, trying new things.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN YOUR POLE JOURNEY?
Every day is still challenging for me. Especially since I don't have a flexible body. Some poses are really difficult.

WHAT HAS BEEN THE MOST REWARDING PART OF YOUR POLE JOURNEY?
Definitely that I have gained myself-esteem. I am physically and mentally strong and am growing confidence in myself. I think the human body is connecting with our soul and heart. Pole Fitness made me connect them, just like meditation.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE BEST ABOUT TAKING CLASSES AT THE POD?
When I feel the progress made when I could not do it before. At that time, I feel so happy, like I did it! Or I could do this! I have made big progress from 3 years ago about my pole dance. I can remember the choreography quickly now, and my body can remember well.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE POLE MOVE?
Sexy Flexy, Butterfly, Dolphin

WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE POLE MOVE?
Ballerina

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO NEW POLERS?
Just keep doing it , have fun and enjoy yourself. When I started the pole, I was most terrible person in the class.

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD?
I really love Pole Dancing, which is Choreo Class. It makes me feel so happy. I can wear cute clothes in class and makeup ♡ It’s so fun for me. I found this community is so special to me. I only met kind and heartful people in here. We support each other and smile a lot. My daily life is so happy and lucky through this positive community. Even if I had a bad day, after the pole class I feel so good and forget about it. These three years, lots of my dreams came true, such as student showcase solo, duo, and group which is I wanted to try it. Still I have a lot of dreams in here. I can’t wait it will be come true by slowly. I have a great thanks to all teachers and all pole friends.

Thank you for being a member of The Pod Ohana! In case you haven't heard, our schedule is open for booking! Our branded app should be available very soon, but in the meantime, you can book directly from our website by following the link in our bio.

If you're having trouble creating an account on Bookee, you likely already have one. Try logging in and hit "forgot password" to reset. That should do the trick!

Our progressive level classes are now drop-in based, which means you will need to sign up for each class you want to take individually. Alternatively, if you know you want to secure your spot for all of the classes, once you purchase your package, sign up for the first class and then send us a message letting us know you would like to added to the remaining 9 classes in that level.

All of our current class offerings are visible on the schedule except for the yoga/fitness classes and the closed choreography classes. We are rolling out our pole program first and will add the other offerings towards the end of this month. There is, however, a PoleFit class on the schedule for Saturday mornings. When searching for classes, make sure you select the appropriate filter for the class type you are looking for: Class (progressive level,specialty, and choreo classes), Other (private lessons & open pole), or Series (intro to pole series).

If you would like to participate in a Closed Choreo this session, please complete a request form as soon as possible for the instructor you want to work with.

Pricing options: If you want to sign up for an entire progressive level course and elect to purchase an 8 class pack, it will carry you through the first 4 weeks. After that, you can elect to buy an additional 8 pack (there is an auto-renew version,which includes a discount), or you may purchase the last 2 classes at a drop-in rate.
Alternatively, we have Monthly Unlimited plans (also offering a discount when signing up for the auto-renew) AND these unlimited packages give you the option to book the 5th week of classes ahead of time before your plan renews.

Any unexpired credits in your Pole Hale Schedulicity account have been transferred into Bookee.

See you soon!
