She loves fitness and believes it should be safe & enjoyable to work out; for fun she loves instructing pole fitness, dancing, and training aerial arts.
I’ve taken many different certification courses and various instructor trainings. When it was time to find a certification that was good for both my pole as well as for my aerial staff, I was hard pressed to find someone who could cater to both. Dr. Misty has such a wealth of knowledge about the pole and aerial world that I can’t wait to have her come back. She isn’t afraid to answer the tough questions, and backs everything up with science, peer review, and research. Pole and aerial are such ever evolving arts, you would be doing yourself a disservice to pass up on training with a woman who so readily keeps up with it all.Highly Recommended Course. Easy to Understand, Informative, Very Well Organized. The Course is Full of Practical and Valuable for Anyone who wants to Enhance their Skills. Really Enjoyed it. Thank you!!
