✨Meet beautiful Jo-anna, who started pole dancing aged 55 with no previous experience. "I had never stretched before and I couldn't touch my toes or bend my back," Jo-anna explains...
✨Jo-anna tried a few online pole and stretch platforms during the pandemic but nothing compared to the "huge content" selection of Align. With it's wide variety Align suits every occasion: "If I have lots of time I choose a long class, if time is short I know there are shorter classes."
✨The holistic approach to stretch is, according to Jo-anna, one of Align's strengths. Jo-anna also finds "Felicity's focus on active flexibility" really great. "I can feel my hip flexors are stronger," she claims.
✨The Yin Series is something that Jo-anna and her husband love to do together and adds another, more chilled option to try.
✨Jo-anna describes her new-found
flexibility as "much improved!" She now takes beautiful photos of her front splits on the beach whilst travelling, can touch her calves down in her middle splits and can backbend much more in a camel than previously.
"I recommend Felicity all the time to my friends!"
🎉Congratulations Jo-anna - you are living proof that you can begin at any age and with hard work and consistency flexy goals are yours! We can't wait to see where your pole and flexibility journey takes you next! 🎉

Hiii friends!
Just a little middle splits footage! I also managed to figure out the swim through!
When I am with my chest to the floor my hips are not completely flat yet, but I am well on my way!
Happy weekend xx

Do you have a favourite meditation to start your day? 🧘♀️
My favourite is this Grounding meditation with imagery of waves and standing strong and serene amidst life’s challenges. 🌊

Meet Becky, who joined Align in 2023, the same year she was gifted her own beautiful brass pole. 💖 She fantasised about doing her dream moves on her pole: eagle, bird of paradise and marchenko were on her list! 💖
Since joining Align Becky claims, “I’ve gradually become addicted to stretching..I truly love it now and I’m seeing improvements in my upper back and shoulders.” 💖
“Thanks to Align the eagle is now mine, BOP and marchenko to go!”
✨Congratulations Becky - we love to see how motivated you are and cannot wait to see what’s next in your pole and flexibility journey! Keep going!✨

🌟 Student Feature: Vic Reeves🌟
Meet Vic, a busy pole teacher who uses the Align App to stay consistent with her flexibility training. “If I’m not consistent my flexibility reflects that,” she claims. 💖
Vic joined Align three years ago and was “beyond stiff” before starting her pole journey. She had to work “extremely hard” to get to where she is today. Vic is proof that hard work and consistent training pay off! Congratulations Vic! 💖
The classes in the Align app are “very relaxing,” she claims, and enable her to switch off from the world for an hour each time. Vic loves to use the meditation on the app as part of her evening routine so she can unwind & sleep peacefully. She also loves the monthly challenges that keep her focused on a particular stretching goal. Her favourites are the needle-scale & box split challenges! 🌿✨
Vic we are so happy to have you in the Align community ! 💫
