A letter from a student

I came into Teresa's pole studio some years ago, not exactly knowing how I ended up in there or why I was there, but I had a longing for more connection to my feminine being through movement. 

--

In the first classes I felt a fire lit inside, as layers of old shame started to show themselves as I watched myself dancing in the mirror. It was scary, confronting and amazing at the same time, and Teresa made sure the room was safe to feel it all. No judgement here. 

--

Now years later I still have moments like this, but I have learned to meet myself in the mirror with love, compassion and positivity. It's not easy every time, but I do love a challenge. Embracing all emotions and allowing them to move through the body; it makes me feel sensual, raw, free, empowered, and in deep contact with something bigger that is moving me.

I love Salty Pines and all the growth that is happening there, with much gratitude to Teresa for holding such a potent space for healing. From my heart I will recommend this to all women.
