By July 5, 2024Featured

Embark on a transformative journey by integrating the wisdom of “The Four Agreements” into your pole dancing practice at Zensual Dance Fitness. These principles, crafted by Don Miguel Ruiz, offer profound insights that can enhance your experience on the pole, fostering mindfulness, authenticity, and inner peace. At Zensual, we go beyond the pole and dig deep into how to improve our lives, too.

Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the Four Agreements — be impeccable with your word, don’t take anything personally, don’t make assumptions, always do your best — offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform life into a new experience of freedom, love, and true happiness.

Imagine you are in your next – or, 1st pole dancing class. How are you going to show up? Would you want your best self to shine through?

The Four Agreements and Your Pole Dancing Practice

1. Be Impeccable with Your Word

  • Speak with integrity and honesty.
  • Practice positive self-talk and affirmations.
  • Set clear, authentic intentions for your practice.

2. Don’t Take Anything Personally

  • Focus on your own growth.
  • Enjoy the process without letting external opinions affect you.
  • Remember that everyone’s journey is unique.

3. Don’t Make Assumptions

  • Communicate openly with your instructors and peers.
  • Clarify any doubts and approach each session with curiosity.
  • Avoid unnecessary stress by asking questions.

4. Always Do Your Best

  • Recognize that your best will vary day to day.
  • Celebrate the effort you put in without self-judgment.
  • Understand that progress is a continuous journey.

“Your best will change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.” – Don Miguel Ruiz
