The confidence it has given me is tremendous, its massively helped with my anxiety,the benefits it has for your mental health and well being is fantastic,and body wise it's a great workout for your whole body . I was asked if I wanted to become a teacher, so October I took my very 1st class..who would of thought it ...not me ,never in a million years ,that in June I walked through those doors a anxious mess and now i'm a pole teacher ! I have met some lovely ladies and made some new friends along the way .
