Mia Mann

Mia started her pole journey in April of 2017. Never liking working out in gyms or CrossFit facilities, she found a Groupon for pole fitness classes. Committing herself to 5 classes, her love of pole began. The times at the studios became her 'ME' time, allowing her to not overthink or worry about everyday life, to focus on herself physically and mentally and just be happy. She wants the same for all of her students as well. She wants all of her students to see their full potential in themselves that she sees in them. 

In 2018, Mia competed in Orlando at PSO Southeast and placed 1st in the Masters (40+) Champion Level 3 division. Her intent is to compete a few more times in the coming years. 

She is certified with Aerius in Spin Pole level 1 and 2 and has plans to continue her pole certifications on her pole journey.

Rebecca Wilkinson

Rebecca first fell in love with aerial arts after taking a pole class in college with a friend in 2013. She loved that it felt like combination of the dance and gymnastics training she did as a kid. After a few years of taking pole classes, she ventured into training Lyra as well as silks. She fell in love with the flowing feeling she got while performing on Lyra and decided she wanted to help others experience that same feeling.

Rebecca is certified by Aerius Fitness in beginner Lyra as well as beginner spin pole.
