Spotlight Overview

Soul Pole Spotlight: Boundaries & Body Autonomy

When: Sunday, Oct 12th from 2-4pm

Where: Violet Flame Pole Studios in Scottsdale, AZ

Join a transformative, trauma-informed workshop designed to help you connect with your inner wisdom and reclaim your space—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Through a unique blend of therapeutic discussion, mindful movement, and beginner-friendly pole techniques, you’ll explore what it means to set and honor boundaries with others and with yourself.

Enjoy a supportive and non-judgmental space where you will:

 Learn how to listen to your body’s signals and honor your limits

Practice clear and unapologetic boundary-setting (verbally and non-verbally)

Explore safe, sensual movement as a way to build confidence and self-trust

Connect with a community that celebrates authenticity and mutual respect


Session Format:

1. Welcome & Warm Up

We’ll start with introductions and a gentle warm-up to connect with our bodies and begin noticing where our boundaries show up physically.

2. Therapeutic Lesson & Interactive Group Discussion

Through guided conversation and a few creative prompts, we’ll explore what boundaries are, why they matter, and common myths that keep us from setting them.

3. Warm Up, Pole Fitness, & Body Exploration

Connect with your body through gentle warm-ups before learning beginner-friendly pole techniques that align with the session’s therapeutic focus.

4. Debrief & Closing Meditation

Reflect on your experience, share insights, and process breakthroughs in a safe, encouraging space before closing with a grounding meditation to integrate your journey.

By the end, you’ll leave with greater clarity about your boundaries and tools you can carry into every area of your life.

Therapeutic Techniques

Strengthen your mind as much as your body!

Soul Pole sessions include therapeutic discussions and activities led by a licensed therapist and designed to help you develop emotional awareness, practice self-care, and build healthy boundaries. Through guided reflections, mindfulness practices, and empowering discussions, you'll explore topics like self-confidence, body acceptance, and emotional awareness. Whether you’re building confidence, processing emotions, or seeking community, the therapeutic tools you’ll gain are designed to support you far beyond the pole.

Why Pole Fitness and Therapy Go Together

Trauma isn't just stored in our minds. It's held in our bodies.

Pole fitness combines movement and mindfulness, offering a way to release stored tension, reconnect with your body, and build confidence. It allows you to explore your physical strength and emotional resilience simultaneously. By integrating therapeutic principles, this workshop uses the power of movement to help you process emotions, heal, and rediscover joy in your body.

Meet Your Facilitator

Hello! I’m Christina, a licensed therapist with extensive experience facilitating workshops designed to inspire growth and healing. I’ve also been pole dancing for nearly 10 years, and it has truly changed my life for the better. As someone with a disability, traditional dance posed many challenges, but pole dancing offered a liberating alternative where I could rely on my upper body strength and face fewer limitations. Through pole dancing, I’ve discovered strength, power, confidence, and a deep connection to myself and my body’s sensuality. The healing and therapeutic impact of pole fitness inspired me to combine my passion for pole with my professional expertise as a therapist, creating this one-of-a-kind workshop to help others experience the same transformation.
