What actually is barreโฆ and what can you expect from a class?
Think small, controlled movements, plenty of pulses and holds, light weights, core work and probably a bit of shaking ๐
Itโs low impact, but donโt mistake that for easy. Barre is deceptively challenging and youโll work muscles you probably didnโt even know were there.
My classes are full body, with a focus on strength, stability, posture and control, with options throughout so you can make it work for your body.
And just to clear up probably the biggest misconceptionโฆ you absolutely do not need any dance or ballet experience. You donโt need to be flexible either.
If youโve been thinking about trying barre but werenโt quite sure what to expect, consider this your sign.

How much better is life when the sun is out?๐ฅฐโ๏ธ
Ever wondered why we use so many different bits of equipment in barre?
Every one has a different job.
Take this exercise. The sequence stays the same, but swapping the Pilates ball for a yoga block completely changes the focus.
โจThe ball makes you work a bit harder to stay balanced, so your core and stabilising muscles have to kick in.
โจThe block gives you a solid base, so you can concentrate on getting lower into the movement and working through a bigger range.
The same goes for bands, weights and sliders too. I donโt just pick them at random - theyโre there because they add something different.
Thereโs always a reason behind what weโre doingโฆ even if it doesnโt look like it at first!
What props do you like using the most?๐๐ผ
