The Heels Relationship
A four-week cohort in learning how to move in platform heels
June 7 through June 28
Sundays, 6:00pm to 7:30pm
PoleBait Haus, Downtown Los Angeles
You bought the heels. Now your body has to learn them.
Most women put the heels on and feel it immediately.
Your weight shifts differently. Your balance changes. The pole asks something new from you.
Most women try to push through that part. They rush into choreography before the body has learned how to stabilize, support, and trust itself in the movement.
This cohort is where we slow it down.
Not to perform — To build the relationship.
What this is
The Heels Relationship is a small, in-person cohort designed to introduce you to heels through sensation-driven pole training.
Over four weeks, you’ll learn how to move with more control, more awareness, and more ease in your body.
This is not about memorizing choreography.
It’s about understanding where your weight is.
How your legs support you.
How your core responds.
How the pole can become something you work with instead of against.
You’ll leave with foundations that actually hold.
What we focus on
Each session moves through practice, repetition, and integration.
Foundations
You’ll build:
Weight distribution and balance
Leg and core engagement
Walking and transitions in heels
Stability around the pole
Drills
Repetition that teaches the body through experience.
You’ll practice movements enough for them to feel familiar, not rushed.
Sequences
Each session includes one to two short sequences that apply what you’re learning in real time.
You’ll work with:
Pirouettes
Dip turns
Threads
Glides
Transitional movement
Integration
The final portion of each session draws from The Fluid Body Method.
You’ll work with prompts designed to help you explore and connect to your own movement and artistry.
Pole is the tool. The work is you.
Investment
$295 for the full four-week cohort

faq
-
You've taken Flow Foundations. You're new to heels, or you've put them on and felt the gap. You're intrigued and a little nervous. You don't fully trust your balance or transitions yet.
You don't need to be good. You need to be willing to learn your body.
-
Your own pair of pole heels. Knee pads recommended. Completion of Flow Foundations, or comparable experience
-
No. This is your introduction. A foundation in pole from Flow Foundations or something comparable is what you need.
-
Each session builds on the last. Plan to attend all four to get the full experience.
-
Most cohorts are taught by Naya Somanya, the founder. Naya has five-plus years in dance and pole, has taught hundreds of sessions across studios in Los Angeles, and has spent the last two years coaching privately, with women at every level of the practice.
Occasionally, the subject calls for a specialist. When that's the case, we bring in a practitioner whose work lives in that exact focus. You're either with Naya, or with someone qualified to hold the specific cohort.

-
Expected. Most women do at the start. The room is designed for you to learn without pressure.
-
Short sequences, yes. The focus is on how to move, not on memorizing routines.
-
No. The depth comes from the consistency of the group and the progression over time.

You can continue into another cohort, return to Flow Foundations, or move into the Fluid Body Series or private coaching.
