Barre Classes
A modern dance fusion of Ballet and Pilates providing a whole body workout. The BarreControl™ method was devised by the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute
Dance
Modern music accompanies our Barre class, and we move along to the beat. This means moving to the count of 8 (slow), 4 (fast) or 2 (faster still) in order to learn moves slowly before increasing the tempo
Ballet
Learn your plié, relevé, cou-de-pied and more as we take inspiration and poise from balletic movements
Pilates
The barre class is split into different flows (sections); some of which include traditional Pilates exercises performed to the tempo of the music. Usually focused on core strength, these flows create fast, dynamic Pilates movement
Barre
The ballet barre helps us with balance, posture and stretching. Sometimes we hold on, lean in, or pull away from the barre
Legs, and more legs
A mixture of flows helps us to target all areas of the body including the back, core, shoulders and arms. However, barre class will predominantly strengthen your legs, glutes, hips and lower back

FAQ
What Is Pilates?
Based on Joseph Pilates ‘Return to Life Through Contrology’ it is an exercise method designed to correct movement dysfunction, which in turn helps to relieve aches and pains and rehabilitate the body.
Is Pilates A Cardio Workout?
Whilst cardiovascular challenge is not the primary focus of Pilates, it can be done at a quicker tempo to increase heart rate. We practice a lateral breathing technique which allows us to maintain core engagement and take deep breaths simultaneously.
What Should I Bring?
A yoga mat and a water bottle. All other small equipment such as balls, bands and blocks are provided.
How Much Does It Cost?
Class prices vary, currently ranging from £7.50 to £9.00. Workshop prices vary, and 1:1 classes are priced around £45.00 depending on the venue we use.
What Should I Wear?
We do Pilates without shoes, so normal socks or socks with grippy soles are ideal. Clothing you’re comfortable to move around in and won’t restrict movement.
How Long Are Pilates Classes?
My classes run for 60mins, although workshops are usually longer. If we’re tailoring a session for your club or 1:1 session we can discuss timings.
What Are Your Opening Hours?
I check my emails and mobile daily, although I’m often teaching or on the road. I will try to get back to you ASAP. I do take some down time Friday – Sunday, so I appreciate your patience.
