Pilati-Glow + Barre

PILATES GLOW… WITH A LITTLE BARRE!

We’re adding a little barre to our Pilates Glow class — and I’m so excited about this combination!

Three special beginner-friendly classes

Mark your calendar: October 7, November 4 & December 2

These three classes are especially welcoming for anyone who is new to Pilates Glow + Barre and would like a simplified introduction.

No dance experience is needed. No previous Pilates experience is needed. We’ll take everything one step at a time.

What do Pilates and barre have in common?

Quite a lot!

• Controlled, intentional movement • Deep muscle work• Alignment and posture• Strength + mobility• A strong mind-body connection

Barre was developed in the late 1950s by Lotte Berk, a dancer who developed her method after suffering a serious back injury. I first learned barre in 2017, and I’ve always loved how effective the movements are and how graceful I feel during barre.

Pilates was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century and was originally known as Contrology. His method focused on strength, flexibility, posture, breathing and body control, with an emphasis on precise movement and the mind-body connection.

These are principles we continue to use as instructors today.

Our version is simple and accessible

Our barre movements are very simplified — you don’t need to be a dancer!

Our Pilates movements are taught one step at a time, with options to make movements more comfortable or more challenging.

Pilates is wonderful for developing deep core strength and helping support stability through the spine and pelvis. Barre adds small, controlled movements and repetitions that can really help you connect with those deeper muscles.

And the goal?

That wonderful feeling you have when you leave class:  Stronger More mobile Taller More connected to your body Re-energized

It’s a beautiful combination for building strength, supporting mobility and helping us continue to move well as we age.
