Body image struggles can affect even the most body-confident of us. The combo of thoughts and feelings we have about our meatsuits can be both positive and negative, and often change within a short space of time. We might be pre-occupied with how we look, or how others perceive how we look. While it is normal to have the occasional negative thought or feeling about our bodies, it can really zap a lot of joy from something like a pole or aerial class if these thoughts are quite loud or we don’t know how to ride them out.

There are a number of practical and real-time tools you can make use of on a bad body image day so you can still pop along and enjoy your pole or aerial class. These go from super quick actions like wearing comfy clothing to provide sensory relief to where in the room you might wanna train, to some internal stuff like making the decision to move on with life and consciously deciding that bad body image thoughts won’t ruin your class.
