I’m Julie Fowler — founder of Vertical Vixen, pole athlete, aerial yoga teacher, and BodyTalk practitioner based in George.

Movement has been part of my life for nearly two decades. I didn’t start with a grand plan. I started by showing up, training, figuring things out, and learning my body through experience. A lot of my early pole journey was self-taught — hours in the studio, trial and error, studying anatomy, refining technique. Later, I formalised that foundation through pole and yoga training so I could teach with both lived experience and proper structure behind me.

Pole changed me. It built my confidence and pushed me past limits I didn’t know I had. That journey grew into Vertical Vixen — a space where women build strength, skill, and self-belief without needing to fit into anyone else’s mould.

Aerial Yoga added another layer. It taught me about control, breath, nervous system regulation, and the importance of slowing down as much as pushing hard.

BodyTalk shifted everything again. It showed me how much the body holds — stress, emotion, patterns — and how powerful it is when we actually listen to it.

Today, I work with clients in George and around the Garden Route, and I also offer online coaching and distance BodyTalk sessions for those further afield. Whether you’re here to get stronger, feel clearer, or reconnect with yourself, I meet you where you are.

That’s really what my work is about — helping you feel more at home in your own body.
