Core Barre - Smart Movement®
Teacher Training or Small Group Sessions
CORE BARRE is a classical system of movement designed to create strength, flexibility and a balanced body. It is based on elements of Pilates, Ballet, and Athletic Conditioning and consists of high energy, low impact and fat burning exercises.
The CORE BARRE movements exercise our bodies in such a manner that does not cause injury or further promote imbalances. Rather it strengthens all muscles and re-programs the body to move in the way it was naturally designed to.
CORE BARRE participants quickly learn that engaging in a workout or class exercise does not have to mean ' no-pain, no-gain'. In fact, movements in CORE BARRE exercises are designed to be effortless, graceful, and energy generating, creating a meaningful and purposeful rhythm that is attuned to our bodies and surroundings.
We provide instructor training in the CORE BARRE System of Smart Movement® exercise modality for teacher training and continuing education.
CORE BARRE and it's complimentary workshops for continuing education make up the Systems of Smart Movement® and offer intelligent and exciting programming choices for small group settings as well as private instruction.
