OUR VALUES
Body Centric Connection
Body-centric connection is the practice of tuning into your body’s sensations, rhythms, and signals during movement. It’s about cultivating awareness of how your body feels in each moment, whether it's the strength in your muscles or the release in a stretch, and using that connection to guide and empower your movements. This approach fosters a deeper sense of presence, promoting physical and emotional well-being.
Revolutionary Language
At Barre Altar we use empowering language in class to shift the focus from perfection to strength and resilience. Our bodies absorb the descriptive language that we speak to it & therefore at Barre Altar we stand against using devaluing language.
Creatively Authentic
Creative barre moves blend traditional ballet-inspired exercises with innovative variations to keep your body engaged and challenged. These dynamic, out-of-the-box movements target multiple muscle groups, enhance flexibility, and make every class feel fresh and exciting, while promoting strength and control.

BARRE
Building Strength
Barre exercises target small, controlled movements that engage and firm muscles, building long-lasting strength. These exercises often focus on specific muscle groups, encouraging endurance and muscle definition, especially in the legs, core, and arms.
Promotes Flexibility
Flexibility is emphasised throughout barre to help lengthen muscles and improve overall range of motion. With a combination of stretching and strengthening, barre helps you become more agile, balanced, and fluid in your movements.
Improves Posture
Proper alignment is the cornerstone of Barre Altar classes. By focusing on alignment and core engagement, barre teaches you to move with awareness and intention, improving posture both during class and in daily life.
Mind-Body Connection
Barre encourages mindfulness, helping you focus on the present moment and listen to your body. The emphasis on controlled breathing, precise movements, and mental focus enhances the mind-body connection, promoting a sense of calm and centeredness while boosting physical strength.
