Barre was developed by a ballerina, Lotte Berk, a German dancer living in London. She came up with the idea to combine her dance conditioning routine with rehabilitative therapy after she injured her back. The result was Barre and the first studio opened in 1959 in her London basement. The workout then crossed the water to the states in the 70’s brought there by students of Berk. Since then it has quietly been growing in popularity and has been adapted into the fun and effective workout that is offered today.

Strength & Stretch Yoga is our brand new class at The Yoga Barre! Caroline created it to help us all to slow down. To be more mindful in our movements, to increase everyones mobilty, flexibility, bone density & strength with the use of weights and to connect with ourselves through the breath and relaxation. Its a Yoga Flow class with weights, suitable for all levels and abilities.

Pregnancy Yoga is a wonderful way to enjoy an active pregnancy . It also prepares you for labour. It improves backache, increases stamina and awareness of breath and is deeply relaxing for both Mum and Baby.

The class starts with deep breathing and relaxation to centre you both, followed by warm up techniques and a Sun Salutation esp. designed for Pregnancy. Then we practice various postures and movements to help increase fluidity in the spine, relieve tension in the hips, pelvis and lower back, open up the chest and shoulders and strengthen the arms and legs. The exercises and breath work will help prepare you for labour and beyond and increase your confidence in your body’s ability to birth your baby with as much ease as possible.

Here at The Yoga Barre we offer a number of high energy workouts that help you get your sweat on and build your strength while you have fun and workout to killer playlists!

Fantastic experience: Went along today to what I thought would be a regular yoga class, but what I ended up at was even better! Can't say enough good things. Great space, fantastic teacher (Caroline), and fun, energising workout. Can't wait for the next class!!
