Meet Our Instructors

Belem

“Hi, there! I’m Belem, owner, instructor, and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I started aerials in May of 2018 as a Mothers Day gift to myself! I needed a fun way to start adding more movement into my life and made a beeline towards aerials from the moment I saw it. The mixture of dance, artistry, creativity, and the challenge are some of my favorite things about aerials. The friends I’ve made along the way and the cheers and support in every class have impacted my self confidence and emotional health in ways I can’t even begin to describe. We love building people up here and sharing the love and impact aerials has with our community. You can find me teaching aerial hoop, pole, kids classes, and health coaching at the studio, as well as continuing my own journey as a student in other classes!”

Callum

“Hey there, my name is Callum! I am on duty for all of your Advanced classes here at Aerial Atmosphere. I am also a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community. Body Positivity, comfort & acceptance of all people that walk in our doors is a staple here at our studio. I have been training/teaching Aerial Hoop, Pole Fitness, Aerial Silks and more for the past 7 years to people of all ages! The moment I walked into my first aerial class, I knew that my life was about to change in the most positive way. It helped me learn to love myself, inside and out! I also gained a diverse community of people from all walks of life that are supportive, caring and inspiring. My mission is to help others go through the same journey here that I did. You deserve to love yourself and be supported. When you join Aerial Atmosphere, you join a family.”

Kyla

“Kyla is a classically trained dancer with more than 20 years of experience in contemporary, ballet, tap, jazz, and hip hop. She coached collegiate dance teams at the University of Georgia and Duke University. She took her first pole class in 2014 at a circus trapeze studio in Athens, GA and fell in love with the physicality and movement opportunities. After a 4 year break, she returned to pole at Aerial Atmosphere where she honed her craft. She loves to teach movement quality, breaking down body mechanics, getting you into tricks you swore you couldn’t do, and getting you upside down!”

Hannah

“Hello beautiful people, my name is Hannah! I teach beginner pole and beginner aerial hoop here at Aerial Atmosphere. I started here as a student in March 2023. Thinking I would take just a few classes here and there not expecting to fall in love with aerials…. but here we are head over heels- literally and figuratively! I have grown so much as an individual and in my relationship with myself and body since beginning aerials. I am beyond torn with what I would say my favorite apparatus is as I have a love and appreciation for them all! This is one of the most open and loving environments I have ever been in. I have made so many amazing connections here with the most wonderful people. This is my home away from home. Fun fact! I am currently a graduate student at TTUHSC to be a Speech Language Pathologist! I’m pretty quirky so expect not only to get stronger, sharpen skills, and feel your flow, BUT to also let some giggles out during my class! I can’t wait to share my love and passion for aerials with you all! We are going to have so much fun!” 

Bizzy

Bizzy is a weightlifter gone aerialist. She uses her weightlifting and crossfit background to specifically target muscle groups used in aerial/pole classes to cater to our students in Strength & Conditioning class. You can find Bizzy teaching Level 1 Pole and Hoop classes, and Strength & Conditioning. Her quick sense of humor makes classes more fun!

Eryn

“My name is Eryn, I've been at Aerial Atmosphere for almost 4 years now! I teach beginner pole. I first went to pole with a girlfriend and was extremely hesitant but then I fell IN LOVE WITH IT! Aerial Atmosphere truly is my second home and my second family.  Every instructor here will make you feel confident and comfortable.  It is a safe space for all.  I can't wait for you to start your aerial journey! See you soon!”

Misty

“Hi, I'm Misty and I'm your multi-level silks instructor, and the Aerial Kids program instructor. This picture is from my very first class and where I fell in love with everything aerial! I have been a classical ballet teacher for many years and never knew I could dance in the air too. I am so excited to share with you the joy and excitement you can find at Aerial Atmosphere! This is truly a unique place and the encouragement and happiness you can find here is amazing!”

I began practicing aerial hoop in 2018, then I was given the privilege to teach almost three years ago. It gives me so much joy to see my students flourish into the aerialist they want to be. The love in this studio is truly one of a kind. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident in finding your own flow. I promise to always support you, mentally and physically. I’m so excited to be a part of your journey.”
