Online Training | Wincanton Studio

Pole was the most life changing thing I have ever done and I want you to experience that magic.

Whether you train at home or in a studio it can often be hard to know what to work on when and in what order. Particularly if you're starting this journey for the first time alone.

This is where Practical Pole comes in. 

I designed this platform specifically to provide a blueprint and map for your training. Whether you're on day 0 or many years into your journey: I have years of training laid out for you in a rough order of progression. There is almost everything you could possibly need at each stage of your journey and if I don't have something you need? Reach out and I'll make content just for you!

No more "hook your leg, right hand low". We are going deep. You're going to understand each skill on another level which will help to speed up your progress and build your confidence. I always provide clear prerequisites and take into account the natural variation there is between students. Whether you're plus size, hypermobile, autistic, have long arms, short arms, your shoulders aren't flexible etc etc etc.... I take as many things into consideration when possible and appropriate.

I was dragged, quite literally, to my first pole class and yet after that first spin my entire life changed. Pole was the most fun I had ever had and it taught me that I could do anything I set my mind to. This self esteeming building element is exactly what I want my students to experience too and has become the driving force behind everything I do as an instructor.

Teaching and performing pole has been my full time job for over a decade and because of this I have been able to seriously invest in my teaching ability and knowledge. This is not something I do for fun on the side or for some extra cash. It is my main focus and passion! I truly care about what I do and I put a lot of thought and feeling into every decision in terms of how I teach and how I run my business.

I made the choice to solely focus on pole back in 2020 but in the past I have taught, trained and performed in a variety of disciplines including aerial and circus skills (aerial hoop, trapeze, silks, hula hoop, fire, stilt walking etcetc). Teaching a wide range of disciplines to hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals face to face taught me a lot about coaching a diverse range of people. Performing has taught me a lot about stage presence and the little details. I also believe strongly in continuing to learn and regularly attended workshops, undergo courses/workshops/certifications, read books and generally try to keep up to date with developments in the pole, fitness and dance world. This ensures I am always try to keep up to date with the best and newest ways of doing things!
