Barre is a mixture of Pilates, Ballet, Yoga and sports conditioning, which tones and sculpts the body like no other regime. Performed to up tempo music, the class involves working at a ballet barre, performing small isometric contractions, which gives great muscle definition. Props, such as hand weights and small balls are also used to increase the intensity of the workout.
This is an exciting new way of combining the best of the Pilates and Yoga techniques with the grace and skill of a dancer to make for an intense and electrifying workout that gives real results. Our comprehensive instructor certification course covers every aspect of this technique including ballet barre training, resistance training, exercise to music and cueing skills, floorwork and warm up components and class choreography. This exciting course will allow you to attract new clients through your doors and vamp up your existing routines.
