One of the beliefs that Bendytimez is started on is that everyone deserves a movement practice that they feel safe in. I hope to create a community for us all where it is easy to find practitioners/coaches who teach in a safer way, especially for hypermobile bodies.
Over the past few years I’ve had the pleasure of meeting like-minded practitioners who share similar fundamental beliefs as me: prioritising listening to your body, being respectful of different body types, and being (at least somewhat) aware of hypermobility and its complications.
I have included a list of practitioners/coaches who teach a variety of different things. So if you have been wanting to try out other coaches or other disciplines, have fun and explore!
Train safe, have fun, and remember that only you can define your own limits!
Instructor: Caitlin Mayhap
Location: Singapore
Caitlin Mayhap’s introduction to movement was in martial arts, a discipline that granted her bodily awareness which translated well into the aerial arts. She believes strongly in sustainable fitness and training methods, in the importance of strengthening and understanding ourselves, while honoring movement efficiency and alignment.
Caitlin specializes in providing instruction in person and online in the area of aerial fitness, aerial technique and safety in the air.
Instructor: Charis Koh
Location: SIngapore
Charis has been teaching various forms of movement for more than a decade to people from all ages and abilities, whether their goals is to rehabilitate from injuries or to enhance performance for the activities they play, or simple just to begin their fitness/ movement journey.
She believes in working together with her clients from the lens of a biopsychosocial model to health where education and learning through experiencing is key for the clients to take charge of their own recovery/fitness journey.
Instructor: Ray (The Hype Tribe)
Location: Singapore
Ray is a Tricker and guides people through tricks like backflip!
Tricking is a discipline that collects movement patterns from various movements like Taekwondo, Capoeira and Gymnastics, and blends them together to form Kicks, Flips and Twist!
When he first started Tricking, he shared that he was not a great tricking athlete and had to learn things through trial and error. However, on top being able to empathise with students, that period bestowed an appreciation for biomechanics and physics which helps in breaking down complex movement patterns into bite sized progressions for students. He’s proud to say he became the coach he wanted to have when he first started:)
Instructor: Baey
Location: Singapore
Baey is a pole instructor who defied her insecurities and dove headfirst into the world of pole dance. Lacking a dance or gymnastics background, she had experienced insecurity and self-confidence issues because of frustrations of finding right learning methods for herself throughout her pole journey. Inspired by her journey, Baey aspires to provide a safe place for students to grow and progress at their own pace, focusing on personalised learning methods for her students. Baey believes in embracing our unique bodies and the importance of different teaching methods to suit various needs.
She became a certified Mind, Body, Fitness Coach, incorporating these techniques into her teachings. She’s also an IPDFA-certified Pole instructor, ensuring safety and proper muscle engagement & body awareness in her classes.
Baey was a finalist in Exotic Generation Asia 2019 & APPC 2019.
She is the co-owner & full time instructor of Euphoria Pole & Aerial Singapore
