Lauralynn aka Feather @featherpistol
Featherpistol is a Performance Artist who lives in South Lake Tahoe, California. Her signature style blends over a decade of intense Choy Li Fut & Hung Gar Tiger Crane Kung Fu training with acrobatics, sensual dance, art history and grace to create a unique style as yet unseen in the pole world. Years of studying science and art history at the University of Southern California (1999-2003) with a focus in Art Conservation, followed by a Fulbright Fellowship in Florence, Italy (2003-2004) led to realizing her passion for discovering and expressing the human condition with Kung Fu, Aerial Arts and Pole.
She manifested her passion for teaching and sharing this knowledge with others when she became certified with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM 2005). Shortly thereafter she acquired another certification in kettlebells with the Russian Kettlebell Challenge (RKC 2006) and an additional teaching cert form Sheila Kelley's S Factor (pole fitness and dance 2007). Adding to her passions for art and movement is her fascination with sound/music/vibration and its healing properties. This led to an additional credential from the California Institute of Integral Studies in Sound, Voice and Music Healing (SVMH 2009-2010). With this knowledge and fervor her approach to fitness is holistic, healing, exciting, and specialized. She created Featherpistol Fitness in order to help beginners achieve what she calls an "Acrobatic Soul".
With all this, Lauralynn cares very much for environmental issues, puppies, and hot chocolate. As of 2016 she is the proud creator of “Pole for the Globe”, a new initiative for raising money for earth charities by holding performances in nature.
