rules, rules, rules
(we know you're usually the ones giving them out, but here's a few for you...)
LEAVING CLASS EARLY
If you must, please do so during back dancing instead of final stretch. This way your fellow clients can enjoy the quiet ending of class.
WEAR SOCKS
We know it's summer time and you're running around in your havianas, but please don't forget to throw a pair of socks in your bag!
NO CELL PHONES
If you are expecting an urgent call, please leave your phone at the front desk and they (or shall we say, Gaby) will answer it for you.

The 30-day unlimited student special is only valid for specific class times.

Bar Basics (for beginners!)

Have
you been wanting to try the Bar but been afraid that you'll walk into a
class full of experts? This is the class you have been waiting for! On
Tuesdays and Thursdays this summer at 11:30am, two of our senior
teachers, Melissa and Gina will lead you through a BASIC Bar Method
class. This class will teach you the set-ups, the concepts of each
exercise, and how and why it is important to get in good form. No
intimidation here, just a good, fun introduction to The Bar.
Click here to sign up for class or to purchase the
NEW CLIENT 30-day unlimited special package for $175
(one time only, new clients only).
Or... forward to a friend who's been wanting to try The Bar.

Benefits of The Bar Method
|
The Bar Method works for so many reasons. Many you may not even realize are happening.
Did you know?
During thigh-work, the Bar makes it possible to keep your leg muscles working for minutes
without a break by prolonging your balance over gravity. This unbroken holding forces more muscle fibers
into service than you get while running -- or even in spinning -- by
never giving the legs a chance to recover. The result is firm, tight
muscle mass, a leaner look and more joint stability.
The Bar also works your largest, most calorie-hungry muscles, namely the
ones in your thighs, glutes, and hamstrings. With those babies
burning, you're knocking off a lot of calories and are doing so with no
impact on your joints.
Add to this, the Bar's use of muscle isolations, which perhaps is what makes the most visible
change in your body. For example, during "glute-work" the Bar
enables you to balance on one leg while keeping the glutes of your
other leg contracted for minutes at a time. Both your legs get worked
to the limit, while the rest of your body has to concentrate on holding
you upright.
What are you waiting for...?
