Lindi Brennan
Owner & Founder

Lindi started Sultry Studios in 2006 with the intention of making Pole Fitness accessible to everyone. She headed up classes in Pole and Sensual Dance until 2013 where she created Sultry Studios’ Pole Instructor Training Course.

Lauren Cornelius
Pole Fitness Instructor

Lauren started pole dancing at Sultry Studios at the end of 2017 with no background in dance or gymnastics. She instantly fell in love with the physical and mental challenge that aerial arts offered.

Lauren completed her Pole Instructor Diploma in 2019 and teaches evening Pole classes.

Every class brings with it something new – whether it be the confidence you gain trying a new move for the first time or realising how resilient you truly are doing a move for the umpteenth time until you nail it! And trust me – there’s no better feeling than when you finally do!
What this journey has taught me is how to be patient and kind to yourself – something we all should be”.

Tina Beukes
Pole & Aerial Instructor

Tina started pole dancing in 2011 and fell in love instantly. She enjoys being part of the supporting and dynamic pole community. Pole dancing has motivated her to adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle and understands how it can be truly life changing.

Tina has been instructing at Sultry since 2018 and currently teaches our morning Pole, Silks and Hoops classes.

“My favorite part of teaching is watching the students push themselves until they succeed and sharing a space with such amazing people.”

L’Oreal Ince
Pole & Aerial Silks Instructor

In 2011 and despite her fear of heights, L’Oreal started pole fitness as a student on the recommendation of a friend.

She took part in several showcases over the years and found a love for the strength side of Pole & Aerial.

In 2016, she completed her Pole Instructor Certification and joined the Team as an instructor for Pole and Aerial Silks. She currently teaches Pole, Silks and Flex Classes.

“I find pole fitness to be fun, challenging and one of the only forms of exercise that helps me switch off and be present. It is definitely something that has taught me just how much I enjoy being fit and strong and also how determined and committed I can be to learn new moves and to improve myself.”

Leia Bessinger
Pole, Hoop & Silks Instructor

Leia started her aerial journey at Sultry Studios in 2018 with a background in acrobatics, and finally felt like she found her passion.
She received a Gold medal in Arnold Classic Aerial Hoops in 2019 and Hoop Icon in 2021. In 2021, she joined the Sultry Team as an aerial hoops, silks & pole instructor after completing her Pole Instructor Training Course.

“Everyone at Sultry is family, and no one will support you as much as your fellow aerialists. Aerial is a way of escaping and exploring your limits and capabilities. I’ve felt my strength and flexibility improve and would recommend aerial fitness to anyone looking for something new and exciting”

Gabbi Gyökösi
Youth Pole & Hoops  Instructor

Gabbi was introduced to Pole Fitness at an early age and it became part of her life.

Over the years she has taken part in many competitions and showcases, including receiving a Silver medal in the Junior Pole Division at Polesque 2013; Gold Medal at Arnold Classic Aerial 2019 and 1st Place at APAC 2019 – Junior Lyra Intermediate Division.
