What is Barre?
Amy Holly has been bringing her out-of-this-world, positive energy to our studio for many years now, but what is Barre? Here it is in a nutshell:
Barre was developed by dancers to keep mobile and strong when returning from an injury
It’s a muscle endurance class with elements of all the good things: Ballet, Pilates, strength training, Yoga, and cardio
During class expect to be using both full-range and small-muscle groups
Every class you attend will build your alignment, improve your posture, and strengthen your core while toning and elongating muscles
Barre is inspired by Ballet - but don’t let that put you off - you do NOT need to be a dancer to come to class
When you come to class, you can expect loud music, soulful dance, energetic release, and of course, laughter and SWEAT!
Although we, as a studio specialise in Yoga, we also have a range of specially chosen fitness-style classes which are designed to complement your Yoga practice. Our teachers are non-judgemental, community-focused, and overflowing with positive energy.
We hope to see you in one of Amy’s classes soon! Give it a try, you have nothing to lose, but everything to gain.
