Christmas is on the way and our special treat to you is our Summer Series workshops.
Miss Fit has invited some friends over, not for a BBQ, but to spend some time teaching us to appreciate how wonderful our bodies are and how many different ways we can connect with our strength, confidence and sensuality. For all of us, developing our physical skills makes us stronger on the inside, and makes us glow on the outside.
It doesn’t matter where you are on the fitness spectrum, we have classes to suit everyone. For absolute beginners to elite polers, yoga junkies, wannabe acrobats, or if you just want to throw on your heels and get in touch with your sensual side we have a smorgasbord of classes to tempt you. You do not need to be a current student to attend any of these workshops, guys are welcome too – check with us first to see if the class is suitable. If you’re wanting to tone up and work on your bikini body there is plenty to keep you in shape!
Our specialist instructors include Andrea Ryff the 2014 Australian Pole Champion, the amazing Amber Ray teaching aerial hoop – she has been a finalist at every Miss Pole Dance Australia since 2006, the gorgeous Miss Bliss teaching AcroYoga, Burlesque glamazon Holly J’aDoll teaching old school glamour (and more!), as well as a professional make up artist Kristin Stewart. Our regular Miss Fit teachers are teaching workshops that tap into their inner genius so that they can share their skills with you – Acrobalance, static pole, sexy floorwork, pole doubles, flexibility, dance classes, strength training, pole flips and drops. We have 38 different classes for you to choose from!
Our Summer Series runs over 4 weeks starting Monday 23rd of November. Our regular most popular classes are still on – Beginners Pole, Aerial Yoga and Conditioning Classes – running at the same times each week.

AcroYoga with Miss Bliss (Artarmon and Castle Hill studios)
This is a blend of acrobatics and yoga, it’s a really fun and empowering way to get in shape and makes you feel connected with your group. It’s a partner practice that involves one person acting as a base, who keeps in contact with the ground to support the flyer, who is lifted into various poses that stretch and strengthen the entire body. You do not need any previous yoga experience, nor do you need to be a particular body type – big guys can fly and little girls can carry, that is what amazes many.
Guys are very welcome to join this class, but don’t assume you’ll always be the base – the polers are always keen to show off their strength.
Wear yoga pants and a t shirt, bring a water bottle. You do not have to bring a partner. Each session runs for 90 minutes.
Miss Bliss is a former gymnast, Iron Woman and qualified yoga instructor who will safely guide you through a ground based warm up and aerial poses. Progressions will be created for regular attendees to these classes.
