Instructor Log 6: Speed Running Beginner Hoop
Hello friends! Training has been going well, still practicing anything and everything and studying anytime I’m not at the studio or at work. It’s crazy to think that it’ll be almost 3 months since we started our instructor journey from when I’m writing this. We’ve...
Aerial is for Everyone
I have been very open about sharing my pole journey. I am so proud of how far I have come. The love and support I receive is amazing. However, those same women who praise me follow up with: “I could never do that.” “Maybe when I lose weight, I am too big.” Or “I...
Growth and Lessons Learned
The growth I find each term keeps me coming back. Every class I get just a little bit further. Each small amount of success, each bruise, each struggle brings me back. I am a competitive person by nature and each week I’m trying to be better than last week. Each...
Instructor Training Log 5: Studying for Group Fitness
Hello friends! I am back again with another instructor-in-training log and while we’ve been working hard learning how to teach classes in the studio, we’ve also been working hard outside the studio studying. Not just studying the class level cards and how to teach...

Instructor Training Log 4: Embracing the Full Class
I’ve been co-teaching for a few weeks now and it’s been fun! A little stressful but it’s also been a huge learning moment for me as well. My co-teachers have been super supportive and all have given great feedback on what I need to improve on and continue working on...
Struggles Lead to Growth
Progress is not linear and that’s okay. I’ve always been a competitive person by nature. One of the great things and hard things about pole is that the competition is yourself. Every person's journey looks a little different, but for me the goal is always to get a...
Instructor Training Log 3: Beginner Pole Teaching
Tonight I have my first co-teach beginner pole class and I can’t believe it’s already here. Granted there’s still a lot left to learn in our instructor training, but we had to split our group up to do half this term and half the next term. I’m flattered that Paula...
More than a Hobby
So let's talk about Aerial Dance they say. Well what they don't tell you is that it is not just a hobby. It is not just the nearest thing you pick up to get bored of later or something you will dread that you have decided to commit to. I used to wake up every day...
Instructor Training Log 2: Reframing from Learner to Teacher
Welcome back to my instructor in training log, log number 2. Today I’m going to talk about changing your mindset and training your brain to be an instructor. I had training earlier and we started going through the beginner pole curriculum. Paula gave all of us the...
