Our Coaches

Founded by Rosie Bliss, whose journey with circus began in 2009 and grew into a professional performing career, a passion for coaching and creating, and nationally touring performance companies. Sanctuary is rooted in the belief that circus can change lives — because it changed hers.

Rosie's performance background spans an impressive range of disciplines: Aerial Silks, Aerial Hoop/Lyra, Spanish Web, German Wheel, Triangle Trapeze, Acrobatics, Unicycle (as a flyer), and even the legendary Bike Built for 10. Her foundation in dance and gymnastics — and a coaching career in gymnastics that began at age 15 — gives her a uniquely well-rounded perspective on movement, artistry, and athletic development.

Alongside her work in the circus world, Rosie is also a nationally certified school psychologist with over a decade of experience supporting diverse learners and mental health needs.

Georgia brings energy, precision, and genuine warmth to every class she teaches. With deep expertise in aerial silks and lyra, she has a gift for breaking down complex skills into approachable steps — making progress feel exciting at every level.

Her teaching philosophy centers on building strength, confidence, and artistry together — meeting each student exactly where they are and helping them discover what their body is capable of.

Outside the studio, Georgia is an active performer and choreographer, bringing the magic of aerial arts to stages and events throughout the community.
