The cohorts

Small groups. One focus. Four weeks at a time.

cohorts are how we go deeper

Polebait cohorts are where the practice deepens through repetition, progression, and presence. Each one is designed around a specific area of the work, from heels foundations to fluidity, artistry, transitions, conditioning, and expression.

Not drop-ins.
Not rushed.

cohorts give the body time and focus to learn.

Why cohorts work

01 / Intimate by design

Four to five women. Always. It's the size where the Guide knows your body by week two and the group becomes its own kind of accountability.

02 / Expert Facilitation

Each cohort is led by a teacher who has lived the subject. She watches. She adjusts. She meets your body where it is, not where the curriculum says it should be.

03 / The group is part of the practice

The women beside you become part of the work. You'll learn from their bodies as much as your own. It's the part of the practice you can't get on a screen.

Upcoming cohorts

Cohorts release seasonally. Past Flow Foundations members are invited first.

The Heels Relationship Cohort

$295.00

You bought the heels.
Now your body learns them.

The Heels Relationship is a four-week cohort in learning how to move in platform heels.

You’ll build stronger foundations through repetition, control, and sensation-driven pole training.

Over four weeks, your body learns balance, stability, movement quality, and ease in heels. Slow enough to build real foundations. Structured enough to feel progress each week.

Limited spots available

Pole is the tool. The work is you.
