This is an all-standing, no/low-impact class that will get your legs and glutes burning! There were a couple moments I had to come down off of releve for an 8 count and jump back in! There is some light standing ab work, though I know all of this standing barre work is engaging our core. Some really cool combos that have back-to-back strength and then stretch moves in them. Kept me present and excited to see what was next!

Popping by to add a classic rock class request, which was ABSOLUTELY inspired by the Stones moment in our ballet burn class today! Had me movin' and shakin'!

Power sculpt! I’m also loving low-impact classes and low-impact sweat we’ve been exploring the last few months.

This power sculpt had some aerobic life in it! I am a sweaty gal after doing this today. Some fun plank and all four combos that have us down on the ground for about half of the class. Get ready to feel your breath pick up and your heart beat! Of course, I chose today to go up an increment in my weights, which made it extra juicy. Love these power sculpt classes and am grateful to experience heavier weight work in this community.

This might be my favorite chair dance ever! It felt challenging but also super accessible. I'm a particular fan of the different ways we played with push-ups and planks in this one. Lots of fun new combos to keep your brain from wandering too far, opportunities to get lowwwww and the sweat was abundant 😅

This is such a lovely class, and it was a HUGE challenge for me. I remember this happening last time we did a ballet stretch as well. I've been trying to figure out what my proper turn out is in all of our classes lately, but this one really felt like looking at it through a microscope. My knees are double-jointed and the older I get, the more crepitus I have in them too. All this to say, this is an excellent class for stretch and grace and slowwwwness, and I hope if you start to feel challenged by that, you know you're not alone. And boy do we have a loving and kind teacher to lead us through :)

Such a joyful class with an unbelievable playlist. 75%ish standing with creative core and hip work with weights! Lots of great balletic glute and thighs that keeps you focused, present and feeling graceful, but there's also lots of playful dance and opportunities to really feel into the beat. I was very sweaty by the end of this one!!

I love this era so much. I'm going to be smiling no matter what. But here are some of my faves!
