Meet the founder and director of Savage Pole Studio. Former finance consultant, Ayuna now manages Savage full time and is a certified pole instructor. She loves teaching her students and when she’s not in class you can find her busy creating content for the studio, doing admin, finance, training, etc. – Ayuna considers herself a jack of all trades!

Moreover, she met amazing people in class and became part of a supportive pole community - which she hopes to grow further in Savage:)

Peachy
Peachy’s love affair for pole started 8 years ago when she saw it available as an extra curricular club at her university.
She has been learning choreography since lockdown in 2020 and quickly fell in love with it, using pole as a way to kill time indoors and keep connected to the pole community online.
Since graduating medical school in just under 2 years ago she moved to London and became a resident pole instructor at Savage since its opening a year ago.
Through the years she has performed, taught workshops and judged pole competitions across the UK and overseas. She performed for Blackstage, a London-based collective centering pole dancers of colour, and is now part of the core team as social media manager.
