CORE BARRE™ promotes high energy, low impact, and fat burning exercises based on elements of pilates, ballet and athletic conditioning. These exercises combined create an awareness and appreciation for beautiful, mindful and Smart Movement.

CORE BARRE™ follows current concepts of stabilization to create effective and safe movement where body strength and awareness are increased as well as joint flexibility, proper posture, stability and form. Participating in CORE BARRE™ creates focus, precision, and strength not only in the physical realm but in context of general wellness and daily living.

The Session

A CORE BARRE™ class is 55 minutes in length in an energetic group setting. The class starts in the center where we incorporate light weights and some simple movements to increase the heart rate, warm up the muscles and bring mobility to the spine.

The Ballet Barre work focuses on very isolated movements that target the thighs and the seat. These exercises are easy to learn and are also designed to improve coordination, strength and balance. Abdominal work follows that challenges the muscles of the upper and lower abdominals, in both supine and side lying positions, while promoting stability in the pelvis and lumbo pelvic hip complex. Prone extension exercises promote strengthening the muscles of the mid and lower back while engaging and lengthening the abdominals. The use of proper breath, cueing and modifications are given to promote effective and safe exercise.

Focused stretching encourages flexibility, range of motion and a sense of well being. Done on its own or in conjunction with other types of fitness, CORE BARRE™ will produce excellent results.
