___________________________________________________  The BARRE CLASSES at Studio Indigo
#108 Sea Grove Main Street (on the Island in Sea Grove Town Center)

Developed from the classical ballet barre, infused with Pilates, and pumped up with a little extra strengthening stuff, my barre classes are unlike anything you have ever experienced. 

Barre Fit ADAGIO
Tuesday 6:00 pm

This class takes its inspiration from the slow and controlled movement of the ballet adagio.  We will begin with Pilates mat exercises, progress into floor barre exercises, and then come to standing at the barre. After a strong workout demonstrating control, balance, stretch, and strength, we will round out the hour with a relaxing cool-down.  Bring a mat and dress in clothes that are easy to move in (yoga, ballet, or Pilates attire - bare feet)

ADAGIO class is designed to engage the larger muscle groups of the body through large, but slower movements.  Balance and strength are definitely challenged in this class.

Barre Fit ALLEGRO
Thursday 6:00 pm

Barre Fit Allegro class takes its cue from the quicker movements of the ballet.  Train your body through a modified variation of the more energetic movements of ballet.  We will begin with a mat Pilates warm-up, and then move to the barre for an incredible ballet work-out that challenges your legs, derriere, and core! Afterward, we will come to the floor for more Pilates, arm-work, and a relaxing cool-down.  

ALLEGRO This workout challenges both the intrinsic and the large muscle groups of the legs and trunk. Staccato movement

This is what I LOVE to do!

What is Pilates?

"Pilates is a form of exercise, developed by Joseph Pilates, which emphasizes the balanced development of the body through core strength, flexibility, and awareness in order to support efficient, graceful movement" (about.com).

Pilates has been used for years in the dance community as a tool to enhance core strength and flexibility, while also building and maintaining long lean muscels. Any BODY can do Pilates, and everybody should.

Once you have the core awareness, flexibility and balance that Pilates brings, you will notice how your daily movement and health are improved. Pair it with the workout you are already doing and see how much better it gets!
