Pole has changed my life more than anything that I have ever done before.   First I have regained my self confidence that I lost when my marriage broke up a few years ago. I had become a hermit as result, I am now more confident than ever before.   I was so nervous at my first lesson (especially as I was the only male) but the instructors and pupils at my local pole studio made me so welcome and have been so supportive and helpfull over the 8 months that I have been going.They are the loveliest bunch of people I have ever met in my life.  Second I am rid of my sciatica that has plagued me for the last 30 years,  probably due to the spine being stretched while hanging upsidedown. Third I feel fitter and more supple than at any time in my life (I was 60 in October).  I just so wish that I had discovered pole years ago.
