Vertical Kay Poledance & AerialArts Studio

Vertical Kay Poledance & AerialArts Studio Die Verbindungen zwischen Pole, Tanz und Activewear. Poledance die schönste Art sich zu bewegen. Vor 6 1/2 Jahren habe ich mit dem Poledance angefangen.

Über Vertical Kay:

Ich bin Katarina Tolkmit, die Person hinter Vertical Kay, Poletrainer und Modedesigner. Von der ersten Poledance Schnupperstunde an wusste ich, diesen Sport möchte ich einmal unterrichten. Das Poledancefieber hat mich gepackt und seit dem ist kein halten mehr. Nach gut 3 Jahren Poledancetraining begab ich mich auf den Weg zum Poletrainer ausbilden zu lassen. Seit 3 Jahren unter

richte ich nun schon diesen wunderschönen Sport. Im letzten Jahr beschloss ich mich auf den Weg zu machen und für Pole Competions zu trainieren, 3 Comptions waren es in 2019 an der Zahl. Bei den Competion startete ich unter anderem unter dem Namen Kayto, mein Künstler und Designlabel Name. Der Wunsch sich immer mehr im Poledance, im Design und als Künstlerin zu vermarkten wuchs. Anfang 2019 fing ich an in den ersten Externen Studios Poleworkshops zu geben, zu dem Zeitpunkt hatte das Kind Selbstvermarktung in Richtung Poledance noch keinen eigenen Namen. Im Sommer 2019 kam dann eine Freundin auf mich zu, ob ich dabei wäre, wenn sie sich einem Raum organisiert und ich mich mit einmiete, um Polekurse zu unterrichten. Gesagt getan, es nahm Formen an und nun musste ein eigener Poledancename her. Ich grübelte, ich überlegte, ich drehte und wendete es n jegliche Richtung, schließlich ließ ich mich von einer sehr guten Freundin beraten. Schließlich lag der Name dann sehr nahe - Vertical Kay war geboren. Vertical Kay verbindet genau alles, was ich lebe, was ich bin und was meinen Charakter ausmacht. Vertical = der Bezug zu unserem atemberaubenden Sport, Kay = der Bezug zu meiner Person, mein Name und meinen Designlables Kayto-Desig, sowie Kaytoactivepolewear. Mit 2020 geht meine Polekarriere seinen nächsten Schritt, ab jetzt werde ich Poletrainer bei meiner Freundin Christiana im Vertical Gym Rosenheim ausbilden. Es hätte sich nicht besser verbinden können.

A weekend doesn’t make you a teacher.

And honestly? A weekend can be a beautiful start. But if you’ve been on the pole for years, you know the feeling — that quiet pull toward something deeper. Not just to do the moves, but to truly hold a student when it matters.

Because teaching isn’t the same as being able to do it yourself. It’s understanding how a body holds, seeing why someone else can’t — and guiding them there safely. It’s depth, built through repetition, until a movement stops being a thought and becomes something you can pass on. It’s holding a room — calm, present — so your students dare to arrive in their bodies.

That’s what a method gives you that a checklist never can.

If you want to teach with that kind of depth, comment METHOD and I’ll show you how the Vertical Kay training is built. Everything’s in my bio.

The best dancers aren’t necessarily the best teachers.

Maybe you’ve been on the pole for years. You love this movement — and for a while now you’ve felt that quiet pull to pass it on. And at the same time, the question: is what I can do really enough to guide someone else?

I still remember the moment I stopped trying to control everything — and started letting a room simply flow. Back then I thought I had to be perfect first. Today I know it took something completely different.

So let me tell you: teaching is not the same as being able to do it. It’s understanding instead of demonstrating. Guiding instead of impressing. Holding space instead of performing.

That’s exactly what the four pillars in this carousel stand for:

– Anatomy & Aesthetics — understanding the body instead of working against it
– Progression through repetition — leading at your student’s pace, step by step
– Body awareness as the foundation — sensing what’s happening in the room; the thing you can’t fake
– Embodying figures — not showing a shape, but becoming it

You don’t have to be perfect to begin. You have to be ready to hold space.

Which of the four pillars is calling you most right now? Write the number in the comments. And if you want to do more than walk this path — if you want to learn to hold it for others — you’ll find everything about Vertical Kay Education in the link in my bio.

Your Ayesha hasn’t landed yet. You might be taking the wrong way in.

For years I forced one entry. Watched my body refuse it. Wondered what was wrong with me.

Nothing was wrong. The door was wrong.

Ayesha isn’t one figure. It’s a destination — and there are four roads my body taught me to walk. Each one came from a different question, a different limitation, a different day my body said no to the textbook way.

→ Invert V1 is where the brain learns the rotation. The motor pattern lives here.
→ Outside Leg Hang is where mobility leads. The hip drives, the rest follows.
→ Invert V2 is the same muscles, but a different geometry. Suddenly the body talks back.
→ Flatline Scorpio is where strength finally meets shape. It folds straight into Ayesha.

This is what I teach in my studio and in my trainings: not the one path. Four. Because the body that walks into class today is not the body that walked in yesterday. And the door that opens tomorrow may not be the door that opened last month.

If your body has said no to one entry — that’s not failure. That’s data. It’s your body telling you which door isn’t yours yet.

Comment “DOORS” — tell me which one feels closest to landing, and I’ll tell you what to study next.

Studio Salzburg. Year-round pole at the tempo your body asks for.

Your pole is at the studio. After 10 years of teaching pole, here’s what I do at home.

No pole at home? No problem.

Here are 7 exercises you can do easily from home — no equipment, no studio, no excuses. All you need is a mat, you, and your body.

Pole strength is built on the pole. And it’s built on the floor. The two complement each other — and together they bring you fully into your body.

On the floor we build what carries you on the pole: the wrists that hold you, the shoulders that press you, the core that catches you, the hip flexors that lift your legs, the back that pulls you up.

7 exercises — wrist, shoulder, core, push, hip flexor, pull. From my training plans. Each with a lighter and a heavier variation — because strength only works when it’s adapted to your body, not pushed through it.

Save this for your next at-home session.
