How much better is life when the sun is out?๐Ÿฅฐโ˜€๏ธ

Ever wondered why we use so many different bits of equipment in barre?

Every one has a different job.

Take this exercise. The sequence stays the same, but swapping the Pilates ball for a yoga block completely changes the focus.

โœจThe ball makes you work a bit harder to stay balanced, so your core and stabilising muscles have to kick in.
โœจThe block gives you a solid base, so you can concentrate on getting lower into the movement and working through a bigger range.

The same goes for bands, weights and sliders too. I donโ€™t just pick them at random - theyโ€™re there because they add something different.

Thereโ€™s always a reason behind what weโ€™re doingโ€ฆ even if it doesnโ€™t look like it at first!

What props do you like using the most?๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ

NO EQUIPMENT PLANK SERIES๐Ÿ’ฅ
The ladies this week will feel this๐Ÿ”ฅ
*this can also be done in a 4 point kneeling or half plank*

Keep an eye out for:
- core engagement throughout
- keeping shoulders down away from ears
- both hips stay facing the mat

Have a go and let me know how you get on!๐Ÿค

A little re-introduction, because there are a few new faces!

Iโ€™m Beth, the face behind Grace & Grit Barre.

I teach low-impact barre classes across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, combining elements of ballet, Pilates and strength training. Expect plenty of shakes, lots of encouragement and to leave feeling like youโ€™ve worked hard.

My aim has always been to create classes that are challenging, welcoming and enjoyable, whether itโ€™s your first class or your fiftieth.

The messages in this post are from people whoโ€™ve come along over the last few months, and reading them never gets old. Thank you to everyone whoโ€™s trusted me enough to give barre a try.

Youโ€™ll find me teaching every week in:
โ€ข Hitchin
โ€ข Flitwick
โ€ข Caddington
โ€ข Stevenage
โ€ข Shefford

Messages are always open for questions, and if youโ€™ve been thinking about trying barre, Iโ€™d love to see you in class!

โœจ SLOW DOWN SESSIONS โœจ
What if your Friday night looked like this instead?

Join Grace & Grit Barre x Untethered Yoga for an evening designed to help you slow down, switch off from the week and take a little time for yourself.

Weโ€™ll begin with a candlelit barre class to strengthen and energise the body, before easing into a gentle stretch and unwind. From there, settle into stillness and allow yourself to fully relax during a soothing guided sound bath, leaving you feeling calm, grounded and refreshed.

โœจ Candlelit Barre
โœจ Stretch & Unwind
โœจ Guided Sound Bath
โœจ Refreshments & Raw Chocolate
โœจ Community & Connection

Whether youโ€™re a regular at barre or completely new to it, this evening is for anyone looking to move their body, quiet their mind and head into the weekend feeling restored.

Come solo or bring a friend! Bring-a-friend discount available when you book together.
