“By 2017 I was teaching aerial yoga and taking my own mat yoga experience to a higher level.
“The benefits for me have been immense – reduced stress, a clearer mind, reduced back and body tension but most importantly the opportunity to look forward to time away from everyday life, which in return gives me the mental space to carry on, especially during difficult days.
“My aim is to raise awareness of the positives that aerial yoga can bring about, and I chose to do this with Pole Athletes studio based on my experience of finding a connection with a group of fantastic people.
