For me, pole started out as a lot of things do for me, a spontaneous idea to try something new. As I turned up for my first class, on my own and not knowing what to expect, it started to seem like a bad idea.

How wrong I was. Pole has made me the most confident I have ever been and I absolutely love to teach and see people reach their fitness goals.

I'm a sucker for endurance and strength training and really enjoy teaching those fundamentals needed for pole.

I discovered pole fitness during a period of my life where my self confidence was incredibly low. I remember being nervous at my first class, but everyone was so encouraging and immediately I was hooked. I haven't looked back since! 

Although I  enjoy all aspects and styles of pole and pole dance, I have a particular love for spinning pole and flexible shapes. 

Before I started pole, I remember watching videos online thinking ‘I’d love to be able to do that!’ but I told myself it would never happen because I thought I had zero flexibility or strength compared to these people! I turned up to my first pole class by myself feeling really anxious, but I absolutely loved it!

Teaching for me is so rewarding, I love to see my students leave feeling as though they have achieved something!

 

I joined KPole as a student in January 2017. I'd lost a lot of the confidence I once had, so when I saw a Facebook ad about the studio, i decided to give it a go, hoping it would help me to get that confidence back. 

I walked into the studio on my first day, met someone who would later become my best friend, got on the pole, and was immediately hooked. 

I am thrilled to now be part of KPole as an instructor and help others achieve their goals. 

I started hooping 4 years ago. I went to a class with one of my best friends. We went to a hoop class with Kim and I was hooked immediately!

I start teaching in June 2023, so I'm really excited to find out what I love to teach! If I had to guess, I reckon it'll be helping our new hoopers to achieve moves that they didn't get on the 'first go'.

When I'm not upside down you'll find me designing (I'm a graphic designer by day), reading, buying plants or climbing.

My upside journey started 2 years ago; I attended a hoop class at KPole, with my best friend, and fell in love!!

My teaching journey started in September 2024 and I now have the privilege of watching people fall in love with aerial, the same way I did. It really is the sport for ANYBODY.

My day to day job is midwifery; so if I'm not using my hands to hang off a hoop, I'm using them to catch babies. I also love ABBA, sausage dogs & fruitella.

I started Hoop and Silks in January 2013 at the Arts College I went to (wow that's a decade ago now!!!) In 2015 I solidified it's Hoop that's for me!

  I love to teach people how to find their own creativity! I always say "I want to create artists in yourselves, not mini me's" Very cheesy,  but also 100% true.

Outside of the Aerial world I'm a Latin dancer and performer (no not the Strictly kind ) If I'm not on the Hoop you'll find me dancing, teaching or performing  Cuban Salsa or Bachata.

I have been doing pole just over 18 months. I used to dance so fell in love with pole pretty quickly, as it was a chance for me to perform again and also learn a cool new skill.

I love to teach any spin combos as I feel they are so pretty, or anything with a bendy back or split.

My day job is a coach, so if I’m not at the studio I’m at the gym. Also learning how to handstand because why not haha. My life is filled with a lot of activities!

Hi, I started my pole journey about four years ago, and it quickly became a passion of mine. Now, I have the privilege of teaching others and sharing what I love. My favourite aspect of pole is dynamic pole, where I can really embrace the excitement and creativity of movement.

I’m passionate about helping students find their own strength and confidence on the pole, and I enjoy giving people a push to get them used to being out of their comfort zone.

I never ever thought I would be teaching pole, but these things come to test us. I love to see my students sharing their success stories, and I’m excited to continue this journey together!

Hiyah, I’m Jodie! Aerial hoop, silks and lollipop instructor!

I started my aerial journey in 2010 with CircusMASH who I trained with for 4 years as a teen. I Performed in some amazing places! Festivals, music venues, company parties and street performances.

Since my 4 year break I’ve been training for 6 years and teaching for 3! I love aerial arts and the joy it brings to so many people. Encouraging growth, strength and confidence is so rewarding and I am so grateful to be a part of this colourful  industry. 

I love silks drops and the elegance of hoop routines!

I first touched a pole back in 1997 and I haven’t looked back since.

I’ve been teaching since 2008 and gained a few different qualifications along the way: Exercise To Music, Personal Trainer, Boxercise Instructor, Various Pole Fitness Qualifications, HEELography  & Sports Massage Therapy.

I teach all different aspects of Pole: Pole Dance & Pole Fitness, but I especially love to create movement flow & routines (with & without heels) for both Pole & Chair.

I am excited to come on board as a K Pole Instructor and look forward to seeing you in class!

I absolutely love learning, whether it be a weekly class, a workshop or online, sign me up!

This year I qualified as a pole instructor,  which has been awesome, but I also love teaching my stretch classes and forcing my Cher warm up on the students.

I work with horses, and am luckily enough to have my own, along with the 3 dogs and 1 feral toddler.

I'm really excited to get to know everyone as a student and instructor. I really hope you all like Cher!
