About Kathryn Marshall Movement Online Flexibility Coach
Here’s a little about me & my values as a flexibility coach
It all started with training as a contemporary and ballet dancer, and grew through years of teaching and performing aerial hoop, dance and contortion. But despite all that training, something didn’t add up: how could I be a trained dancer and performer, yet feel so unsure about how flexibility actually works?
Conflicting advice and endless myths left me confused. As someone with hypermobility, I was scared of getting injured and didn’t know how to improve my flexibility safely. And I saw the same frustration in the performers and hobbyists around me: aerialists, dancers and movers all wanting beautiful shapes, but unsure how to get there without getting hurt.
That’s when I knew what I wanted to do. I became a flexibility coach to be the clear, safe guide I’d been looking for. Now I coach online and in person, helping performers and passionate hobbyists build their splits, backbends and flexibility, express themselves creatively, and keep moving well for years to come.

My coaching style
I keep my groups small, so I can really get to know you: your body, your goals and what you love to do, whether that’s aerial, dance, pole or simply moving more freely. I’m a light-touch kind of coach. Rather than pushing you into shapes, I’ll guide you to understand your own body, so you can train safely and confidently, and keep progressing for years to come.
Based in North Shields, I coach online on Zoom, so you can train with me from anywhere, and in person at Aerial Beats.
