BENEFITS OF BARRE

-

Strength-building, muscle-toning, weight loss

Barre is a fitness class that focuses on the core, developing muscle endurance and stability while lessening the pressure on the spine, joints, tendons and ligaments. Strengthen­ing your core muscles and pelvic floor muscles can result in improved posture and decreased back pain.

Mobility and flexibilit­y

Enhanced flexibilit­y and stretching helps with moving safely within a good range, improving posture and reducing the chances of injury. Refinement of the posture through stretching can be reflected in your personal life with a growing confidence within the body.

Connectivi­ty

Heighten body awareness by reconnecti­ng with your breath, or maybe for the first time ever connecting with your breath and how your breath can help you be stronger. This allows a connection to the parasympat­hetic nervous system, that calm state in your body, to get the most out of your workout.

Willpower

The mental strength gained alongside the exercise can be used in your daily life as you can further push yourself mentally, challenge yourself to meet goals and enhance your mental wellbeing to gain strength and discipline.

Stress management

Take time out of the hustle and bustle of life to slow down and retreat from demands on your time with mindful exercises. Through barre you can gain the ability to identify stresses and to move with them and to let them go.
