This page is a one stop shop for understanding what Activate Your Pole is about and how it can help you in your journey to be better on your apparatus of choice, but also just better in life. On this page you will find blog articles, how-to videos, workshop reviews and testimonials from attendees and my one-on-one clients.
The Activate Your Pole Workshops use the Be Activated system developed by Douglas Heel and are taught by Susan Bartley, owner of Heaux Apparel. In the workshops you will learn:
* How external stress can lead to poor movement patterns and potential injury
* Strategies to bring your body back to a state of relaxation and performance
* Easy self-activations to unlock your breathing, psoas and glutes
* Use the Be Activated priniciples to be more fluid, graceful, confident, sexy and powerful on the pole and in life.
Take your time and search through the information and if you have questions you can email us directly at heauxxxapparel@gmail.com.
