Linda is currently taking a break from teaching pole dancing. She has been part of the VertiGal family since VertiGal opened in 2011.
She is a keen rock climber, but her interest in aerial arts has quickly taken over her spare time.
She loves that it is super fun and feels more like playing, rather than working out.
The social aspect is also a highlight for her. Linda has two daughters that are often with her at the studio, both love to have a spin and be mum’s little doubles partner.
