Across the program
Techniques taught across the disciplines.
Different apparatus, one method: prepare the body, build the strength that holds the shape, then train the shape itself.
Bridge & backbend
Contortion and flexibility. Spinal mobility and bridge work, conditioned so deep bending stays safe.
Inverts & spins
Pole. Spin combos, inverts and transitions built around backbends and split lines rather than bolted on afterwards.
Lyra & hoop
Lyra and hoop. Flexibility-led shapes, musicality and lines that use your bend instead of ignoring it.
Handstands
Hand balance. Alignment, shoulder stacking and consistent kick-ups, inside the wider flexibility program.

Your first class, demystified.
What to bring & wear
- Leggings or shorts and a fitted top you can move in — for contortion and flexibility, covered knees make floor work more comfortable
- A water bottle and a small towel
- Bare feet or grip socks for floor work; no special footwear needed
- Skip the moisturiser the morning of aerial or pole sessions — slippery hands make everything harder
- Nothing else. Mats, equipment and any props are provided
What actually happens
- A proper warm-up — joints, spine and shoulders prepared for the specific work, not two minutes of arm circles
- Progressions scaled to your body on the day. Nobody is pushed into a shape; you're built toward it
- Groups capped small, so your form is watched and corrected every round
- You'll leave knowing exactly what to practise before next time
- Soreness the next day is normal; pain is not — and the difference is taught explicitly

I have zero dance or circus background. Can I just show up?
Yes. Foundations-level workshops assume ordinary adult flexibility and no performance history — most of the room is exactly that. The only workshops with prerequisites are the intermediate and advanced ones, and each listing says so plainly.
How big are the groups?
Capped between 8 and 12 depending on the space. That's the whole teaching model: small enough that your form is watched and corrected every round, not once per class.
Where do classes run?
Across Melbourne, with regular sessions in Brunswick. Each workshop announcement names the venue up front, and everything is reachable by public transport.
What does it cost, and how do I pay?
Workshops are $60–80 depending on length. Spots are confirmed on payment when a date is announced — dates go to the email list and Instagram first, and small caps mean they do fill.
Am I too old for this?
No. Veronica has taught adults into their fifties and beyond through the same progressions — flexibility responds to consistent training at any age. What changes is the pace, not the possibility.
Group class or private lesson — which should I start with?
If a scheduled workshop matches your level, start there: it's cheaper and the group energy helps. Go private if your schedule is tricky, you're working toward something specific, or you want the fastest possible progress — $100–120 per hour, in person or over Zoom.
