Anna (anna/they) is a college educator who started taking pole classes at Positive Spin in 2020.  Anna started taking pole lessons because it both excited and scared them, and also because they wanted to build a better relationship with their body. In building that relationship, pole has taught anna to let go of perfectionism, to show themselves kindness and compassion, and to love the journey more than getting a specific result.  Anna is also committed to creating antiracist, body affirming spaces in class and in the pole fitness industry.  In all of their classes, anna tries to help students find joy in what their bodies can do, and embracing the very nonlinear journey to becoming a pole dancer.
