Lynsey Wyatt (she/her)

Founder of Cirqulation - International Aerial Performer - Creative Entrepreneur

Lynsey Wyatt is an aerial artist and social entrepreneur who loves science and hates sitting still. In addition to owning and operating Cirqulation, a boutique aerial and wellness studio, Lynsey specializes in performing and teaching aerial silks, flexibility, handstands, and partner acrobatics. As an entrepreneur, she seeks to build inclusive and affirming spaces by centering community care, safety, and joy.

Lynsey has taught and performed across 30+ cities from Dubai to Montreal, including appearances at festivals, retreats, and corporate events. She has trained at the prestigious National Circus School in Quebec as well as completed residencies at ESAC in Brussels, Belgium and Circus Oz in Melbourne, Australia, collaborating with a wide network of circus artists and educators. She is a creative collaborator to Mental Health in Motion, a dance company working to foster deeper understanding around mental health through art and education.

Her latest efforts to grow Cirqulation as a boutique wellness brand bring together years of experience in circus, research, and social work, grounded in community, education, and empowerment. Through Cirqulation, Lynsey is producing digital courses and immersive retreats in Costa Rica, Mexico and Greece in collaboration with Cirque Du Soleil aerialist Caroline Rinny and other experts. Her aim is to create offerings that go beyond surface-level wellness—centering body neutrality, while fostering joy for all genders through artistic expression and community.

Lynsey took her first aerial dance class from Beth Deel and Wendy Schuyler and instantly fell in love with the art form at age 9. At age 16, she bought a one-way ticket to the Dominican Republic, working on a farm with no running water or electricity to be near a flying trapeze rig and realize her dream of running away with the circus. Her early international experience performing in the tourism and entertainment industry opened her eyes to deep harm and oppressive forces. That experience catalyzed her commitment to justice, which she continues to pursue through her work. Lynsey began studying under Mechi Annaís Estévez Cruz, an Afro-Indigenous activist and language teacher, beginning a lifelong endeavor to understand and dismantle systems of oppression within herself and the spaces she helps create.

Returning to the US, Lynsey shifted her focus to entrepreneurship and research. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, concentrating on the intersections of neuroscience and movement arts. In 2019, she was awarded the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute’s neuroSURF fellowship (funded by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke), where she collaborated with neuroscientists and occupational therapists to create a method of using circus movement therapeutically for adolescents with cerebral palsy. She also conducted and presented original research on the relationship between intensive movement therapy and speech development.
