SOUL EMBODY LIVING
Barre, Mat Pilates, Yoga with Emilie Chatelain
​
Barre is a full body workout using a blend of yoga, pilates, and ballet movements. Barre helps strengthen muscle groups through small controlled isometric movements using your own body weight and/or supportive props for resistance. It is a low impact class yet expect to feel challenged. Barre is a great way to build strength, balance, and connection with the body. Emilie’s classes are creatively challenging, fun, and empowering. Barre is accessible for anyone and at any level of experience.
Mat Pilates is centered around muscular balance, core strength, breathing, alignment, mental focus, and increased body awareness. The class is primarily contemporary movement with classical movements sprinkled in. Expect a flow sequence focused on core, arms, legs, glutes sometimes using props such as balls and light weights.
​
See our Calendar Page for the schedule.
