Barre Basics *

16 x 30minutes classes

The Barre Basics course focuses in on technique and alignment, both of which are crucial when exercising at home where I can’t see you.  This course is suitable for all fitness levels, and in an ideal world, everyone, even barre aficionados would start here.  The classes soon pick up pace and what you’ll pick up in terms of technique will be invaluable.  

You’ll need…

A plain orange rectangular card or sheet of paper.

Most classes require a sturdy support for balance like a high-backed chair, work surface or, ingeniously, an ironing board.

Chair

Weights

A pair of 1kg hand weights are ideal but if you’re just starting out, 2 cans of beans will do nicely!

A simple orange paperclip

Band

A latex and a fabric band are’t essential, but definately add a certain je ne sais quoi!

Orange spray bottle with a pump nozzle

Keep a bottle of water handy. It’s really important to stay hydrated.

Mat

A standard exercise mat provides cushioning during floor exercises and help improve grip and stability.
