Questions & Answers

Grip socks are recommended but bare feet is fine. Your usual active wear, yoga, dancewear or whatever you are comfortable moving in.
If you’re attending class in person, bring water to stay hydrated and a mat. Everything else is provided. If you’re joining us online, you’ll need a yoga mat and a chair (or the kitchen bench!). You may want to invest in a small soft ball, some light hand weights and a resistance band but none of these is essential. Canned food from the pantry and cushions etc work well too!
YES! I have taught Barre to men, women, children, elderly, people with injuries, dance professionals and more. Barre is for EVERYONE.
Class is usually just under 60 minutes divided into 5-10 min warmup, 10-15 min upper body work, 20-30 min of barre exercises (mostly lower body) and 10 min floor work (abdominals/lower body) followed by a cool down. Expect to be sparkling at the end! Online classes are offered in varying lengths so you can get in a quick 10-20-minute core workout or dancer’s stretch whenever it suits you.

Pilates teaches you how to connect deeply with your core & build stability

ABOUT

Pilates is a method of exercise that consists of low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements.

Pilates emphasises proper postural alignment, core strength and muscle balance. Pilates is named for its creator, Joseph Pilates, who developed the exercises in the 1920s.

As in my yoga classes, I have a contemporary approach to teaching Pilates, which gives room for therapeutics and a huge variety of themes. My online studio has a growing number of Pilates classes catering to different moods and needs.
