Strength & Stretch: Barre & Yin Yoga: Get fit, make friends &feel your best

Get fit, have fun, make friends, and feel your best with this barre fitness and yin yoga fusion class! Barre is a low-impact, full body workout designed to burn your muscles for effective toning & strengthening, all while moving to fun music. Then we slow it down and balance out our practice with slow, deep stretches using yin yoga. This is the perfect practice to build strength and increase mobility and flexibility. No dance, yoga, or prior experience required but be ready to move!

The class will be from 11AM-12:30PM. It will be around 50 minutes of barre, and 40 minutes of yin with savanasa. Afterwards if people are interested, we can go for coffee at a nearby cafe to get social. :)

What should I expect from a Barre class?

Barre is accessible to all, but it is a workout! Expect a fusion of Pilates, yoga, and ballet movements. We will work the entire body from head to toe, targeting all muscle groups and working them to the fullest. We will also use light weights (optional) and Pilates props. Props will be supplied.

What should I expect from Yin Yoga?

We hold relaxing deep stretch postures for between 2-5 minutes. This allows us to deeply release tension in the muscles and the mind, and give ourselves a moment of peace and stillness. This will help you feel very open, relaxed, and restored after the workout.

What should I bring?

Comfy clothes you can move easily in, a small towel if you tend to sweat, water, a positive attitude, and good energy! :) There are mats & props at the studio.

How much does it cost/how to pay?

$20 if you are coming alone. If you bring a friend, the price for two is $30, so $15 each.
