{the best of what true American Barre and Lotte Berk's Original work have to offer}
Bayou Barre Method (The American ) incorporates arm weights, planks, and emphasizes isometric and eccentric strength training for your thighs, gluteals, abdominals, and back body.
Enjoy a good sweat while tone and stretch!
Preservation Barre (The Original) is all about opposition--stability in one muscle while another works like mad! This technique incorporates deep stretching while simultaneously strengthening your muscles, all without props. You'll enjoy a long, lengthening warmup, a 360 degree strengthening of the thighs, and a complete workout of your entire core, including your gluteal muscles and side body.
Warning--you will see amazingly fast results in Preservation Barre!
