  • Welcome to the transformative power of barre! This is a physical practice that blends fitness and mindfulness with unexpected opportunities to push beyond your limits.

    Rooted in the foundations of the Lotte Berk Method and exhale Core Fusion, barre combines efficient and safe exercises, a strong mind-body connection, and challenging progressions. Whether at the barre or on the mat, I will guide you through each position, providing instructions, hands-on adjustments, and motivation to help you refine your form and maximize effectiveness.

    Barre targets all major muscle groups, promoting balanced movement that enhances strength, core stability, flexibility, and bone density.

    All classes are accessible for all fitness levels. I offer modifications so that you can always make the right choices for you.

  • I recommend wearing workout clothes that you can move comfortably in. Most classes include stretching, bending, and floor work, in addition to exercises at the barre, of course. Socks are required for BARRE \ form classes. BARRE \ focus classes can be done in sneakers, socks, or barefoot on a mat. I provide mats and any other props needed for our sessions, but you are welcome to bring your own.
