All standing barre class (only down on the mat for the final wide straddle stretch and meditation). Zero impact class, no bounce or jumps, but serious leg work that stretches from toes up through postural core muscles. My legs were shaking, my hips were loosening and feeling so warmed up, and that balletic flow feels so beautiful even if I'm catching the choreography. Use of breath is so powerful for staying in the fire and for the leg lifts. Progress and not perfection always. Will return to this class when I need that balletic flow with ease of pulses instead of jumps (great class for headaches or sinus pressure when you need movement but bouncing and inversions do not feel good).

This class felt SO good during it, and challenging at many times. The superwoman move on the mat with the ball under forehead and hand weights was out of control! I felt incredibly strong after class especially in my postural muscles, and the morning after I am FEELING it everywhere. I used my trusty 3 lb. weights (holding both in one hand at the barre), but can I get a welfare check on my girls who used 5 lb. weights?? 😮💨💪💖
