Join Joe Palmer for a mixed-level Pilates class.  Drawing from her deep understanding of the body gained through 10 years teaching Pilates and 20 years of performing in aerial circus arts, Joe expertly integrates the core principles of Pilates—breathing, control, concentration, precision, centring, and flow—into every movement. 

This class blends traditional Pilates exercises with unique, creative choreography to enhance strength, mobility, and flexibility while promoting a strong mind-body connection.

During the class Joe tailors movements to address current injuries, promoting control and stability throughout the exercises. This Pilates class will also help prevent future injuries by building core strength, improving posture, and enhancing balance. Whether you're new to Pilates or more experienced, Joe’s guidance will help you develop a stable, flexible body while also boosting your mental wellbeing, leaving you feeling balanced, grounded, and energised.

The acro jam is a social, collaborative gathering of people interested in acroyoga, acrobatics, and partner balancing. It isn’t structured like a formal class, but rather people are free to experiment, train, and get creative in pairs or small groups. We have floor mats, crash mats and lines to enable safe progress. All are welcome and we recommend bringing a few ideas of moves you’d like to work on.

Booking Link: https://lauramoy.co.uk/teaching/chinese-pole-classes-in-bristol/

Chinese pole is a circus discipline - somewhere between aerial, acrobatics and rock-climbing. We will begin with foundation climbs, positions, movement sequences and drops before progressing to more advanced tricks. Focus is on strengthening and protecting the body with playful movement tasks lower on the pole once arms get tired! This is a gentle and supportive space to learn a new skill, adapted to the level and experience of the group. You can book for one session or the full block.

Laura trained as a contemporary dancer before joining the circus and has been performing internationally for 15 years. She has worked with companies including NoFit State, Pirates of the Carabina, Upswing and Invisible Circus. She has taught pole for Circomedia, NoFit State, and youth circus groups, schools and festivals in Europe and the UK.

You'll be part of an ever growing community that will encourage and support you along the way. 

Alexa is a professional aerial performer from Bristol. Since graduating Circomedia in 2018, she's worked within the performance industry internationally; as an aerialist, a circus teacher, a compère and a stage manager. Having never touched an aerial hoop until she was 23, Alexa is proof that you do not need prior experience in gymnastics, ballet or dance to find yourself a home within the circus arts. She practices inclusivity and kindness in all of her teaching, aiming to create an environment that is queer celebrating, fat positive and welcoming to all.
