Barre

My barre classes are authentic and powerful.  They are crafted to focus on building your physical and inner strength and spirit.  My class is inspired by all genres of music, and combines movement from my background in dance, yoga, and barre.

Shortly after moving to the Seattle area, I fell in love with the physicality of barre after my first class.  It was then that I knew that barre was something I not just wanted to know more about, but to continue to teach it.  Since becoming a certified Barre Instructor, my teaching has taken me around the PNW as well as Kauai, Hawaii.  After teaching barre for some years I saw how every body move differently, and that we are not made to fit in one mold, and one exercise does not fit all bodies. I wanted to create a barre workout that is truly designed to build strength and power for everyone. Both physical and personal strength, so I created the Barre Movement Method. This method is unique in that is is created by a dancer, inspired by yoga, pilates, and bad ass music! You can now find this method at Be Studios, LLC in Boise, Idaho at my new yoga, dance, and barre studio.

I love seeing the transformation that happens not only in barre class, but what it brings to people off the mat.

Come try a class and see for yourself here.
