No. Floor Barre is suitable for beginners as well as those with previous dance, Pilates or fitness experience. Exercises can be adapted to your level and ability.
Floor Barre adapts traditional barre exercises to a seated or lying position on the floor. This removes much of the balance challenge and allows you to focus more precisely on muscle activation, alignment, flexibility and controlled movement.
The class focuses particularly on the core, legs and deep stabilising muscles, while also working the whole body. Regular practice can help improve strength, muscle tone, posture, flexibility and coordination.
No. Floor Barre is a low-impact practice that places less stress on the joints while still providing an effective workout. The floor-based exercises also allow for deeper stretches and controlled movements.
Please bring a mat and a towel. Wear comfortable, fitted clothing that allows you to move freely. A yoga or exercise mat is recommended for floor-based exercises, and you may wish to bring water to stay hydrated throughout the class.
