WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF POLE & AERIAL FITNESS?
Apart from the obvious increases to cardio vascular fitness you will become more flexible, better toned and more confident while learning a new skill at your own pace that is fun and inclusive. We believe that a good warm up as well as calisthenic conditioning are key to injury prevention. That is why every class & private lesson is started with our Signature Warm up routine that includes Mobilisation, Pulse Raisers, Body Weight Conditioning Exercises & Dynamic Stretching, focusing on correcting posture & weak areas in the body. This method of Prehab focuses on strengthening the most common weak & tight muscles in the body as well as those that are predominantly used in Pole & Aerial. This approach is continued throughout the classes to ensure that you are strong enough to attempt the moves & tricks that are to be taught.
It's also interesting to note that both neuroplasticity & neurogenesis are significantly enhanced through creative & dynamic movements & activities such as Pole & Aerial Arts. These beautiful art forms not only stimulate the body but also challenge the brain, fostering cognitive growth, adaptability & resilience. Meaning that it's good for your mind & your body! The combination of physical & cognitive challenges enhances memory, attention & problem solving skills aswell as stress reduction & an increase in emotional & mental well being.

POLE & AERIAL HOOP SYLLABUS
Piggy Pole & Aerial Fitness follow an in depth syllabus designed to take you from a beginner to an advanced level at a challenging but fun & safe rate. In our Pole Classes you will work through a Grade system which includes conditioning exercises & learning fundamental moves & skills to prepare you more challenging moves & combos further down the line. In our Aerial Hoop classes you will do the same but instead of working through Grades you will work through Sequences & Routines on the hoop to help you get to grips with transitions & flowing from one move to the next.
Progression is as unique as you are! Each student will take as long as they need to complete & progress through the Pole Syllabus. With the help & support of your instructor and encouragement from your new pole & aerial family you will develop your skills whilst having a laugh & enjoying the journey.
