			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there's one manifesto quote I love, it's <a href="http://lululemon.com/about/culture?cid=blog">'do one thing a day that scares you'</a>. Whether it's skydiving, making that dreaded phone call, giving feedback to a colleague, or just sharing your big hairy audacious goal, setting our sights on anything out of the norm can be a daunting task. But treading uncharted waters can help each and every one of us expand our comfort zone so that we keep growing and yearning for more.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4717" title="pole dancing" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/1.jpg" alt="pole dancing" width="500" height="333" /><br />
<em>lululemon athletica Ala Moana's Studio of the Month featured the pole-dancing studio Fit for a Goddess.</em></p>
<p>Recently <a href="/honolulu">lululemon Ala Moana</a> featured a pole-dancing studio called <a href="http://www.fit4agoddesshi.com" target="_blank">Fit for a Goddess</a> as our store's studio of the month. We had in-store pole dancing demonstrations and a complimentary introductory class just for ladies. Seeing these athletic women fly through the air in front of complete strangers inspired me to sign up for a series of pole-dancing classes.</p>
<p>I've always been more of a tomboy: ask any of my friends and they’ll tell you that the extent of my dance repertoire consists of the robot, running man, or any other goofy move you can think of. So walking into a class that focused on femininity was at first a little uncomfortable for me.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4719" title="hanging upside down" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/2.jpg" alt="hanging upside down" width="504" height="775" /><br />
<em>Unleashing your inner Goddess with pole dancing.</em></p>
<p>Our teacher encouraged us to embrace our sexuality, to move our bodies with grace and strength, and to be comfortable with ourselves – no matter what age, shape or size. No judgments on ourselves or each other. At the end of our first class, our teacher told us it was "showcase time". We had to perform the dance number in small groups for the rest of the class. My heart started thumping and my palms started to sweat. We got up, did our thing, and it was over as quickly as it started.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4720" title="pole dancing" src="http://www.lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/4.jpg" alt="pole dancing" width="500" height="682" /><br />
<em>Teachers from Fit for a Goddess did weekly pole-dancing demonstrations at the lululemon athletica Ala Moana store.</em></p>
<p>After class I laughed to myself -- now THAT was doing one thing a day that scares you. At least for me. While a dance class might not be a big deal for some... we all have different fears, push ourselves in numerous ways, and in the end, our take away lessons vary. But hopefully trying something new fuels our hunger for more – out of ourselves, out of others, and out of life!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1076" title="Winnie on the pole!" src="http://lululemon.com/community/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/blog_poledancing.jpg" alt="Winnie on the pole!" width="333" height="500" /></p>
<p>Do one thing a day that scares you. Or as my husband likes to say, "Scare yourself every day". After becoming a member at Crunch Fitness, the "Turning Tricks" class inspired my curiosity. I thought that I should get the most bang for my buck and visit the pole dancing class that is specially offered through Crunch.</p>
<p>I was the obvious newbie in class. The only one wearing pants and not sporting heels. The teacher went through a series of exercises that fully engaged the core and activated the spine through head tail movement. Leg stretches showed up everywhere in the warm up. Apparently you can always work toward better splits in pole dancing.</p>
<p>Other than getting a great upper body workout I discovered that pole dancers wear booty shorts for reasons other than showcasing their amazing legs. It is more difficult to climb a pole with pants on as they inhibit the friction needed to make your way four to five feet up the pole. A fourth of the way through class I stood watching in awe as everyone casually climb four feet up their pole with a towel in one hand. Next time I am going to wear my lululemon <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/Knock_Out_Short/pd/c/500/np/500/p/1030.html">Knock Out Shorts</a>, and maybe even some heels to keep up with the ambitious ladies in class.</p>
