Erin Jayne took her first pole class in 2012 and very quickly knew she wanted to be an instructor. Her first two instructors (shoutout to Lindsey Dement and Brynn Route!) inspired her through their patience, encouragement, and love. In 2013 Erin became XPert certified and began teaching in Austin, Texas. She then found her home at ATX Pole Fitness in 2014 and has been grateful to be a part of such a talented and kind group of students and instructors ever since. She has returned to us from her Denver voyage and is now back in Austin and thrilled to be reunited with her ATX Pole Fitness family!! Erin spends the majority of her time teaching pole, flexibility, and Pilates classes and doing hair in Austin, but also makes regular trips to Denver and is still actively involved at Tease.
