INVERTED - an inverts intensive

I heard about pole dance for the first time when I was 17, back when my high school best friend fell madly in love with it. She right away told me to try it out and it continued to stay on my mind for years. In 2017 I moved to New Zealand and found my passion for Yoga while I was living and working at a Yoga Retreat Center. I did a lot of different sports when I was child ranging from gymnastics, swimming, equestrian vaulting all the way to my first aerial experience with trapeze - but I was far away from all of that when I finally tried pole dance in 2020. Due to world circumstances and health issues it took until 2022 when I was finally able to attend regular classes and ditch my wooden beam in my kitchen that I used as a pole alternative. Right away it was so much fun and I felt reconnected with my inner child - you would find me nearly every day at the little gym that offered pole back then. After every class I felt more confident, comfortable in my body and met some of my best friends in classes. Over the years I had a lot of different teachers and saw a lot of different studios. Class environment is very important to me and now as a teacher it is important to me that I can create a welcoming and safe space within my own classes. I love meeting new people and trying to help them figure out how pole dance or yoga can add to their life. My love for movement grew into other areas of aerial acrobatics and dance, and I can not wait to share this love and passion with you! When you attend my classes I invite you to just be yourself and let go of any expectations. We are here to have fun exploring movement and learning new ways to express ourselves. My focus lies on truly understanding the different forms of movement and guiding movers towards exploring their own flow.

I started teaching pole dance a little bit less than a year after I started myself. At first I was only internally trained, but it was important for me to continue educating myself and got multiple teacher certifications with Xpert for the instructor level 1-4. I also attended a 200hr YTT which helped me understand even more about the anatomy behind movement. When I started teaching, I right away had multiple contact hours per week. Since then I gained more than 500 hours of teaching experience with a big variety of movers from all over the world.
