Private Pole & Aerial Movement Coaching
with Sarah (Piggy Pole & Aerial Fitness)
Piggy Pole & Aerial Fitness has been teaching pole fitness, spinning pole, pole dance, and aerial hoop since 2017 — and now, I’m focusing entirely on private coaching for people who want intelligent, personalised movement support
Whether you’re returning after a break, managing a chronic condition, feeling stuck in group classes, or simply want bespoke guidance, I work with you where you are — not to a template.
I’m a movement specialist who blends a decade of teaching with professional training and lived experience to support bodies that learn, adapt, and regulate in unique ways.
Why Private Coaching With Me Works
My teaching approach is:
- Nervous system-aware — we work with your regulation and pacing, not against it
- Individually tailored — your session is built around your body, history, goals, and needs
- Safe and empowering — we respect your limits while still helping you progress
- Inclusive — all bodies and all neurotypes are welcome
Specialist Support for Hypermobility & Chronic Conditions
I’m highly experienced in supporting people with hypermobility syndromes — including hEDS — through both lived experience and specialised training. I’ve completed training with Project ECHO’s Integral Movement Method (EDS ECHO Fundamentals) focused on connective-tissue-aware movement from the EDS Society.
That means I understand:
- Joint stability vs strength balance
- How to build capacity safely
- Fatigue management
- Working with nervous system responses
I currently work with students who are:
- Hypermobile
- Living with chronic fatigue or pain conditions
- Neurodiverse
- Nervous or unsure about structured movement
- Rebuilding confidence after injury or burnout
Training & Professional Credentials
Alongside my teaching experience, I hold:
- Pole Levels 1–4, Spinning Pole & Aerial Hoop certifications from Xpert (X-Pole)
- Beginners Pole certificate from Pole Studio
- EDS ECHO Integral Movement Method training
- Integrative Dance Therapy training (Neuroscience of Dance)
- First Aid certification
I continue to study movement science and am developing an integrative, nervous-system-informed course focused on self-trust and embodied awareness.
Injury-Aware & Rebuild-Focused Coaching
Pole and aerial are physically demanding disciplines, and injuries can occur — particularly in group class environments where individual movement patterns and mechanics can’t always be addressed in depth.
This is often less about the skills themselves, and more about how the body is prepared, loaded, and taught to move.
A large part of my work involves supporting students who:
- Are returning after an injury
- Have recurring pain or flare-ups
- Feel stuck in compensation patterns
- Haven’t been shown how to use their bodies effectively
I’m not a physiotherapist, and I always encourage clients to seek medical or physio support where needed. What I do offer is something many people don’t receive elsewhere: clear, practical movement education.
This includes:
- Teaching how to recruit the right muscles
- Rebuilding movement as connected chains, not isolated shapes
- Reducing overload on joints by improving coordination and sequencing
- Adapting skills so your body learns safer patterns from the start
Many injuries in pole and aerial aren’t caused by the tricks themselves — but by not being taught how to load, stabilise, and transition properly. That’s where my work really shines.
My Signature Warm-Up
I use a signature warm-up in my private sessions that focuses on:
- Whole-body integration
- Joint preparation and stability
- Nervous-system readiness
- Building awareness before load
This warm-up isn’t rushed or generic — it’s a key part of injury prevention, rebuilds, and long-term progress, and it’s tailored to your body on the day.
What Clients Value Most
Students choose me because I’m particularly strong at:
- Adapting lessons to individual bodies, needs, and goals
- Teaching clear technique and mechanics, so movement makes sense — not just shapes
- Breaking complex skills down into understandable, achievable steps
- Using a structured, well-loved SIgnature warm-up that supports coordination, joint preparation, and confidence
- Supporting the rebuilding of strength after injury, illness, or time away
- Encouraging regulation, confidence, and trust in the body
- Creating a calm, welcoming space where students feel supported and unpressured
Private coaching allows us to work at a pace that genuinely supports long-term progress, safety, and sustainability.
Returning after Injury?
Private sessions allow space to rebuild intelligently, adapt movement safely, and relearn how your body works — without pressure, comparison, or overwhelm.
