Pole Dancing & Wellness in LA: Your Top Questions Answered

At Evolve Sanctuary, we’ve been helping women glow with pole dancing, infrared sauna, and red-light therapy in Los Angeles since 2008. Whether you’re brand new to pole or curious about recovery therapies, here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

Is pole dancing beginner-friendly?

Absolutely! One of the biggest myths about pole dancing is that you need to already be strong, flexible, or experienced. The truth is, pole dancing is one of the most beginner-friendly ways to move your body.

At Evolve Sanctuary, we’ve designed our classes for all bodies and all fitness levels. Beginners are guided step by step through foundational moves, with supportive instructors who focus on safety, fun, and helping you feel at home. You’ll build strength, improve balance, and most importantly—discover confidence you didn’t know you had.

What should I wear to my first pole class?

For your first pole class, the key is comfort and safety. Most students wear shorts with a tank top or sports bra—skin contact helps with grip on the pole.

A few tips to make your first class smooth and enjoyable:

Skip lotions or oils on class day (they make the pole slippery).

No jewelry on hands, wrists, or ankles—it can scratch both you and the pole.

Bring a yoga mat if you have one, since many classes begin with floor warmup or stretching.

Shoes: Most classes are barefoot or socks-friendly. But if you’d like to dance in heels, we sell beginner-friendly pole heels at the studio for $55—perfect if you want the full pole vibe.

Most importantly, bring water and curiosity. You’ll walk in as a beginner and walk out surprised at how much your body can already do.

Infrared sauna vs. red-light therapy—what’s the difference?

At first glance, infrared sauna and red-light therapy may sound similar, but they offer different benefits:

Infrared Sauna: Uses gentle heat to warm your body from the inside out. Benefits include detoxification, circulation, muscle recovery, stress relief, and deep relaxation. You’ll feel the warmth and often break a sweat.

Red-Light Therapy: Uses visible, low-level wavelengths of red light that penetrate your skin without heat. Benefits include stimulating collagen, reducing wrinkles, healing skin, boosting hair health, and speeding recovery.

At Evolve Sanctuary, you don’t have to choose—you can enjoy both therapies together for a full-body glow that supports healing, beauty, and wellness.

How many sessions until I see results?

The beauty of both pole and wellness therapies is that you’ll feel results quickly.

With pole dancing, most people notice a boost in mood, strength, and confidence after just one class. Stick with it for a few weeks, and you’ll start to see changes in posture, body tone, and even how you carry yourself.

With infrared sauna and red-light therapy, many clients notice improved sleep, glowing skin, and reduced stress within 1–3 sessions. For lasting benefits, we recommend consistency—1–2 sessions per week.
