The teen years can be a time of transitions and changes, of strong feelings & emotions, and can either make or break a teen’s self-confidence and self-acceptance. With the right support, tools and knowledge, we can help our teen youth blossom into confident, radiant women who know their worth and are secure in their own self-love.
That is the Mission of Self Expression &Yoga for Teens. To empower teenage girls to find their own inner powers, to connect and find their own inner light. This workshop will give your daughter tools to recognize her worth and stand strong in her sense of self.
All proceeds will go to JDRF.
JDRF leads the global type 1 diabetes research effort to keep people healthy and safe until we find a cure for the disease. Help create a world without T1D .

What exactly is this class?
It’s a high energy, low impact exercise class that combines barre work, light weights and continuous motions. The class includes toning and resistance exercises that will sculpt your muscles, burn fat and elongate the appearance of your body.
We offer a beginner and advanced version of this cardio infused class!
The beginner class will allow for more water breaks during this power hour.

If you’re not ready for 150 BPMs of craziness (yet) – check out our Barre classes HERE.
Our class descriptions are posted on our Class Descriptions page.
This month we added 3 classes to our schedule and changed the time of one existing class. Keep reading to see what’s changing!
Looking to add more cardio into your life? We love cardio…and Barre! Check out our fast-paced cardio-style Barre class; FitBarre. This class is offered for the Beginner or the Advanced BarreBabe. On Tuesdays, we are moving our existing FitBarre Advanced class to an earlier time slot. If you need a quick workout before work or after dropping the kids off at school, come see Sarah at 8:30 AM. We also added FitBarre Beginner on Wednesdays at 4:30 PM! Now you can come to the studio right after work and not worry about going home first…where you might be distracted by dinner. Don’t forget your Barre-wear when you leave the house in the morning!
In addition to our cardio inspired classes, we also offer a more traditional approach to Barre fitness. You’ll laugh at the tiny weights when you first come to class; by the end of class, they’ll win (in a good way)! Our Barre class will focus on very specific muscle groups and target them with very small, controlled movements. We have had a lot of requests for a Tuesday evening class – you’ll be happy to hear that we added Barre with Melissa at 5:45 PM. If you like to get your workout out of the way on Sunday, join Melissa at 8:00 AM!
To recap the changes:
Tuesday, FitBarre Advanced, moved to 8:30 AM
Tuesday, Barre, 5:45 PM – new to our schedule
Wednesday, FitBarre Beginner, 4:30 PM – new to our schedule
Sunday, Barre, 8:00 AM – new to our schedule
All other classes and time slots remain the same. As always, please check the Class Schedule tab for any changes and instructor information.
See you at the Barre!
A lot of us are not!
Your body is composed of about 60% water – we need water to survive. Drinking water helps maintain the balance of body fluids. These body fluids include digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, and maintenance of body temperature.
There are different ways to make sure you’re drinking enough water…I’ll touch on the two most popular:
If you’re working out, drink more.
As a rule of thumb, if you feel thirsty…you’re not drinking enough water! Another sign of dehydration is having “cotton mouth”. If either of these affect you, don’t worry, it’s not too late – get hydrated and keep your water intake up on a regular basis.
How to remember to drink your water?
Some people like to carry around a container with them that is the size equal to the amount of recommended water for that day. This way there is no need to refill and your goal is clear – drink the entire container before the end of the day. A half-gallon container is 64-ounces.
Personally, I love my insulated water bottle that holds 24-ounces! I fill it up before I leave the house in the morning (or even the night before). My goal is to drink it on my way to the studio in the morning or finish it shortly after I arrive (usually within 2 hours of waking up). I refill it and plan to finish the 2nd round of water around lunch time. Refill it again and my goal is to finish the 3rd one before the end of the day. I prefer to drink most of my water earlier in the day so that I’m not up constantly in the middle of the night.
Don’t like the taste of your water?
Change it up! I tried many different brands until I found ones that I liked. Also, consider the filter you have at home (if you use tap water) – your filter might be adding a taste as well.
Cheers to your health!
My ThermoFlask holds 24-ounces of liquid hydration!
We are so excited to announce that we will be offering our BarreBabe Members an awesome monthly newsletter! January’s issue, Issue 1, is complete and will be hitting your inboxes this week. We hope our newsletter adds value to your membership…as we definitely value the support of our community and BarreBabes!
Our newsletters will feature a few key pages. These pages include Check your form, Meet your BARREtender, Recipe corner and a News & Events page. Most importantly, future issues will feature a BarreBabe Member of the month – accepting submissions year-round.
This page will feature a common (or no-so-common) Barre movement or position. It will let you know which muscle group is being targeted and it will break down the movement or position. This allows you to check in with yourself to make sure you are performing the move in a safe and correct manner….and one that will give you the best results!
We have an amazing team here at FitBarre and we’d love for you to get to know us! This section will feature one of our employees or instructors per month so that you get to know us on a personal level.
This one probably doesn’t need an explanation! We’ll feature one of our own favorites or one of your favorites! Please submit recipe ideas, along with a picture of the dish. We’d love to feature your healthy (or not!) meals, snacks or desserts.
This page will feature current and upcoming studio events, membership info/updates and anything else that we’d like you to know.
If you would like to be featured in our newsletter, let us know! We have a list of questions so that everyone can get to know you a little bit! Our goal is to create a community where you enjoy your time at the studio, and you have friends in each class – “working out” is much funner with friends!
We hope you love January’s issue!
