I had a wonderful experience here for my bachelorette weekend. Our instructor, Michael, was encouraging, talented, and hilarious!!! We will be back.

One of my Bachelorette Trip events and our session was EVERYTHING! Styx was phenomenal!!! He brought out the inner pole dancer out of us all! I highly recommend for any parties or special events!

This place is amazing! The instructor was very personable, helpful and joyful during the class! We was here for bachelorette weekend and this was the best decision on the itinerary. Learning a dance routine was very scary but once the instructor calmed our nerves we all began to get loose and have fun. This place made us feel beautiful! Thanks to the whole team!!!!

Had the time of our lives on a recent bachelorette trip! Definitely make sure this is on your itinerary if you are planning one. The environment is so welcoming, fun, and sexy! We even got to try the areal silks during our class and that was such a great surprise. All the girls loved it. Our instructor, Michael, was an absolute delight!

Awakenings was my first aerial and pole home and I miss it everyday. I have been around to many states now and many studios and I must say - this is by far the most inclusive space with a wide range of skills offered. No matter if you are a beginner or advanced, the staff and the students welcome you with open arms and make you feel like family. 10/10 recommend even if you are just in town for a visit

This place is great! I take the aerial tissue class here and all of the instructors are great!!! They do a great job explaining things, they walk around, assisting students who need help and are friendly and supportive! I also really like that they incorporate stretching in class because that is really important when doing aerial arts. Before discovering Awakenings, I had tried another aerial arts studio in town and had a really bad experience. I was so relieved when I found Awakenings!!! <3

I'm pretty out of shape and have never done any classes before. Anywhere. A friend convinced me to go to aerial core. It was amazing. Worked out a bunch of muscles and really felt it. Everyone there was nice and I didn't feel out of place being new or not being as flexible as the rest of the class.

My forever home studio, been going here for about five years and it’s always been amazing. The teachers are great, the space is welcoming and safe, and above of the community is what is at the heart of this studio.

I love love love awakenings! All of the staff members are amazing. I've had an amazing pole journey thanks to the lovely instructors at awakenings. They offer classes for every skill level and all of the instructors are great. You won't be disappointed!

I've only attended 2 classes so far (aerial hammock & hoop) but I think this was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Seriously. From the moment I walked in for my first class, I felt safe and welcomed. I have chronic joint issues and Jillian helped me figure out what I can do and how to do it without injuring myself. I'm a large person and have never been made to feel out of place or any less able than a smaller or more fit person. It's just been constant encouragement. I genuinely feel comfortable here. I leave classes sore as hell but fulfilled and proud of myself. If you've ever wanted to give aerial arts a shot, do it! (I'm not doing pole classes so can't speak for those but I'm sure they're also great).

I have been attending pole classes for a couple months now and its my absolute favorite thing. Everyone at the studio is so welcoming and non judgmental. Every week I look forward to my pole classes and its become a great de-stressor for me. I cannot recommend this studio and their employees enough!

I went on vacation from Evansville, IN and I pole at my home studio. I was very anxious to try a new studio, in a new city, all by myself but…IT WAS AMAZING and the best decision I had made my whole trip. The instructor? A baddie. The vibes? Immaculate. If I could stay here longer I would 1000% come back.

We visited this location during our bachelorette trip and we had an amazing time, the customer service was top notch. We really enjoyed our instructor and all the sexy dance moves we learned. It was also our first time doing aerial training and that was a blast and so relaxing. We were all definitely sore the next day but it was worth it!!!!

Honestly, one of the best most body inclusive spaces I’ve encountered. The instructors are very helpful with safety and ensuring you’re feeling sexy. Can’t thank them enough for being so encouraging and supportive!

I decided to have a Pole Party for my birthday and Awakenings NOLA was the best decision. Ari was a great host and understood the assignment! I would definitely be back for another party :) Thank you for your hospitality and positive vibes! See you soon.

I always feel comfortable in my own skin especially as new mom. This is the only place I can be just me as a woman without all my other titles. Everyone is always encouraging. The instructors are knowledgeable and care about your well being. I love it here!

Molly was an awesome instructor! She was so accommodating to the people in our group (bachelorette party) that needed modifications but she made sure absolutely NOTHING got left out of our experience! The music they played the entire time keeps you grooving (or twerking if you feeling froggy) the whole time. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in NOLA and I’m bringing more friends

#girlsnightout STIX was our host(ess) with all of the mostess!! He was amazing from the second he walked in the door until we left. The class was very informative. He kept up with our safety since most of the 10 of us were newbies. It was magical. The space is lit with beautiful colored lightning.. Each lady that came said how much they enjoyed everything. #askforstix

My friends and I did a private pole class at the New Orleans Canal Street location for a bachelorette and I can not express enough how amazing it was! We all agreed it was the highlight of our trip. Brian was our instructor and he was the absolute best! No one in our group was experienced in pole fitness but Brian explained everything so well that we all were able to get the moves down and still have fun. We were shocked at how much we were able to fit into our 75 minute time slot (although we didn’t want it to end). We learned 2 dances and still had plenty of time to mess around and practice the moves. I should also mention the studio is very clean and beautifully decorated. Highly recommend classes here for individuals or groups. You’ll have so much fun! Thank you Brian for making sure our group had a fabulous time!

Pole, hammock, silks, lyra (hoop), trapeze. Fun classes. Amazing instructors.

I was in town for a bachelorette party and we did this. Molly and Kyle were so awesome and their class was so much fun! I would love to do this again. If you want a fun way to exercise or just a fun and empowering experience take a class with Molly and Kyle. Wish you guys were in Dallas I would love to take your class on a weekly basis. Love you both you guys were awesome!

I loved this place. I have had pole dancing classes at both locations, Styxx was my instructor both times. He is very patient and was able to help me find my confidence. So whether your goal is to get moving for fitness, or to find your sexiest self, Awakenings is the place to go!

I had the best time for my bachelorette trip! We learned a sexy chair dance routine, aerials, and learned some tricks on the pole! Avacado was an amazing teacher! She had awesome energy & her song choices were great!

I have always wanted to try aerial fabrics and finally bit the bullet. My only regret is not doing it sooner. This place is magic. I am often the only guy in class, but it is such a safe space with zero judgement. It is like a cross between rock climbing, yoga, and dance--a non-judgy workout that requires brain as well as a little brawn. Try it. You will leave feeling so proud of ya bad self, your body, and your new moves.

SWer friendly, accepting of everyone! Probably the only place I feel like I can be myself and meet amazing people. This studio is a gift to this city...

I went here for a pole dancing class for my bachelorette party in February and me and my girls had so much fun! Jill was amazing! So friendly and fun! And she always made sure to take pics for of us in fun poses and climbed up the pole to get a shot of us lying on the floor! I wish she taught where I live in Florida because this would definitely be a part of my fitness regimen. I highly recommend this place and her.

I can't say enough great things about this place! Paul was an amazing instructor for my bachelorette in November. The place was very clean and everyone felt very comfortable and have a great time. 12/10! Thank you!

I love Awakenings! I’ve been coming to this studio for over two years and I have always been impressed with the great customer service, attention to hygiene, and community atmosphere. The teachers are super professional and I especially love taking classes with Kayla, Jill, and Bella. I just invested in another ten classes and I recommend Awakenings to anyone serious about aerial training.

Hi! We reserved a 90-min time at the studio and had an absolute blast! One of the highlights for my bachelorette, especially for the girlies who enjoyed activities. Our instructor was Lauren and she was so good to us, making us comfortable but still getting us out of our comfort zone! She split up our time with a sexy chair dance routine, followed by pole and silk. She was incredible and so FIT and talented!! Thanks for having us, would definitely recommend!

Lauren and Sebastian were great!!!! Lauren made us feel so comfortable and sexy. Sebastian was the ultimate hunk. I highly recommend booking a private session or dropping in on one of their classes.

Booked a bachelorette party pole dancing class and all the girls had SO MUCH FUN! We learned a sexy chair routine before learning pole tricks and even aerials on the silks! Lauren A was an amazing instructor, I was actually surprised at how well we were all able to pick up the moves! Highly recommend!!

The most welcoming and comfortable environment to learn a new skill or continue your training. I love it here!

I've been coming to the studio for three years, and the community at Awakenings is so accepting and kind. There are a wide variety of classes, and the instructors are all so encouraging and helpful when I ask questions about certain moves. I'm so glad I took the leap of faith and booked my first lesson for both pole and aerial here. To be fully dramatic yet honest, this place and the people here definitely changed my life for the better. Thanks so much to the business owner, Jill, for building this studio!!! <3

Establishing service with Jill and the establishment is superior straight from the inquiry. I am absolutely thrilled to celebrate my up and coming birthday with them and my Sisters and Friends. We are all excited! Thanks Jill for being such a jewel in making this be a memorable treasure.

I LOVE this studio!! I've been attending classes for the past 10+ months and am always motivated to show up and work on new moves and tricks. The teachers are amazing, I've met new friends in class, and I've built more muscle mass than ever before. Awakenings will be part of my life into the foreseeable future. Very grateful for all they do.

Just finished my first pole class and it was amazing! As a beginner and curvy girl, I was definitely nervous. Lauren A. Made me feel so welcome. I loved the pace of things and building into a flow. I had such a great time and will definitely be back!

Brian was an amazing instructor and lots of fun. We came for a bachelorette party and the entire group loved it! Brian was very encouraging and was so nice offering to take pictures of our group and let us video our dances. Thank you Brian!

During my trip to NOLA, my cousin surprised the group and I with a pole dancing class here. Our teacher was Paul and he was AWESOME, I can't emphasis enough how comfortable he made us feel. Even when I know we weren't doing all that great, he was very encouraging and positive haha. He made sure that everyone was getting the moves down and helped us individually step-by-step if needed. The class was fun! Props to the people who do this professionally because it's a lot harder than it looks. It's a great workout and fun. We did a sexy dance choreographed by Paul himself, some pole dancing, and then we ended the class doing some stuff on the aerial hammocks. Everyone enjoyed themselves and we got a good workout in! I'd definitely recommend this place, whether you're just visiting or want a fun workout to do every so often. Sidenote: We also wiped down our poles after we were done, which is a big plus for me and the water they had was SO refreshing (maybe it was just because I was hot and sweaty haha).

AMAZING experience! I was so nervous as this was my first class, but the instructors and other students quickly made me feel so comfortable. The Bootywerk class was so FUN and definitely worked up a sweat! Intro to Pole was SOOO hard but I loved it and can't wait to get back in the studio!

Had an AMAZING bachelorette pole party here. Our instructor Amy was fantastic and tailored the class to what we were interested in. It was a very comfortable, judgment-free class and everyone had a blast. We even got to try aerials at the end for a few moments. I was going back and forth between this place and another pole studio and SO glad we chose this one. Would highly recommend for everyone!!

The pole dancing class was wonderful. My friends and I stepped out of our comfort zones and the experience was great!! We enjoyed our instructor she was very helpful and fun. 11/10 for sure😌😌
