The effect of breathing

During classes, breath is a simple but powerful tool in movement practice. It's not about performance or control — it's about staying present. When the body moves and emotions come to the surface, the breath helps you meet what's there instead of resisting it.

During dance, breath can soften what feels tight or charged. It helps you notice when you disconnect, tense up, or start to push through. A steady exhale can make space for something new — a small release, a shift, or just awareness.

In pole dance and free movement, this connection allows emotion to move through the body rather than stay stuck. It's less about technique and more about honesty: breathing into the parts of yourself that need attention.

You leave class more connected — not because everything feels light, but because you've stayed with yourself through the movement.
