Most studios offer things like, yoga, pound classes https://poundfit.com/ stretching classes, workouts, chair dance, aerial and really anything you can thing of that allows for more people in a class. Pole is very limiting because of the space it needs.

They sound like great goals. The first thing you need for teaching is passion and it sounds like you have that.
You don’t have to be able to do every move. Here’s what I think makes a great teacher.
You need to be able to modify moves, make them harder or easier along with that you need the awareness to see when someone might need a modification.
You’ll want a good understanding of body mechanics, there are a lot of ways to do this on your own. Look for reputable people to learn from. Remember, just because someone has a large following on social media doesn’t mean they are sharing safe and effective training methods and ideals. Learn the major muscle groups. I have all of this info in the Veena method course!
You don’t need to be certified in pole (those who sell certifications will not be happy I’ve said this). You can be certified and still have no idea what you’re doing. I took the CPR certification I’d say 5 times before I felt I could actually use it! Certs are a great way for a studio to make money and I don’t fault them for that. But from what I’ve seen what you get is not worth the cost. You can learn a ton on your own if you want to. I’ve been doing that my entire fitness career. I was ACE certified for years before I stopped doing the continuing ed to maintain it. I realized that I was not getting my money’s worth with the courses I was taking.
Train your friends and family, ask them if it’s ok that you try out teaching methods on them, that’s how I started.
You don’t need to teach flow, but a lot of students really enjoy the dance part of pole and it’s a great way to get cardio in without feeling like you’re doing cardio!
Start by getting familiar with the fundamentals and go from there! Remember that owning a pole only studio is tough, most places need to offer more than just pole dance to financially make it work.

Oh, on sending quick healing vibes! I hurt my low back (shaving our poodle) then re injured it last week, so it’s been super annoying.
You could try sitting in a chair or fit ball against the pole to do the leg raises! The sitting twists are actually killer and a great mod.
