The Summer Circus Energy – January 2026
Get ready — January at @soulcircusaerial is where the energy explodes! The moment the
doors swing open, the silks ripple, the trapeze starts to sway, and the whole club comes alive like it’s cheering, Let’s go!

Kids can jump into a full-day adventure, flying through aerial skills, flipping, climbing and balancing before recharging with a burst of arts and crafts in the middle of the day.

Or they can choose a morning or afternoon session packed with high-energy fun.
From the first warm-up laugh to the last swing on the trapeze, confidence grows fast. New skills click, friendships spark, and the whole place buzzes with achievement and excitement.

And when the holidays wrap up, the momentum doesn’t stop — our after-school aerial classes keep kids growing stronger, braver and more unstoppable all year round.

Ashleigh Paterson isn’t trying to be the perfect mum. She’s not plating up Instagram-worthy dinners every night or pretending her five-year-old eats kale chips for breakfast. What she is doing, through her wildly relatable Instagram account @ashleigh.cooks, is showing thousands of parents that feeding a family doesn’t have to be a source of stress. From weeknight dinners to lunchbox bakes and freezer-friendly snacks, Ashleigh’s recipes focus on what families actually eat.
