What is Barre & Stretch Class?

Barre & Stretch is a ballet-inspired class designed to help you achieve a slim, strong, sculpted dancer’s body.

Each class will have you working out at the ballet barre and in the center to achieve the maximum workout. Don’t worry, dance experience is not necessary for this class. You can expect to do lots of reps and pulsing movements targeting the muscles in you upper, core, and lower body. There is a big emphasis on form and alignment of the body. Many students state they have left the class feeling inches taller because they have worked on their posture.

 

During this class, you can expect to use your own body weight and muscle strength, but also expect to use props such as yoga straps, exercise balls, and light weights. The instructor will guide you through each movement and each prop. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or inform the instructor if you need an alternative movement.

 

This class is designed to make your body work itself and use muscles not ordinarily used. You can expect to feel sore after the first few classes. However, you will see some major results after a few classes.

 

So what are you waiting for? Take your practice to a new level with Barre & Stretch.

 

What is Energy?

Life is magnificent; it can not be replicated artificially.  We can create A.I. (artificial intelligence), but not life itself.  We can not put bones, muscles and organs together on a table like Frankenstein and bring it to “life” because it lacks one fundamental ingredient, a “life-force” or “soul”, “prana”, “qi”, “chi” or “ki”.  This is the energy that is found in all life forms on our planet and anywhere in the universe.  Anything that has life has this life-force energy. 

 

This energy is “universal” meaning it is the connective force between all life, not only on Earth, but to all life throughout the cosmos.

Happy, Healthy and Well Adjusted?

Long ago a very close friend used to ask me almost on a daily basis: “Are you happy, healthy and well adjusted?”  The answer would be “yes” each time if only one thing was a little bit different.

 

What I realized years later was that this was a question of total being.  Happy, Healthy and Well Adjusted refered to a Happy Spirit,  a Healthy Body and a Well Adjusted Mind.

 

What I discovered was that “one thing” that needed to be changed seemed to always be the same thing over and over.  If you had the ability to change one thing about your life what would it be?

Our Mission In This Lifetime

Our mission in this lifetime is to experience the emotions, passions and the beauty of living, discover our dharma; or purpose in life, learn the lessons of karma: the universal law of cause and effect, gain the wisdom from conquests and consequences, and share the knowledge with those we love...as well as those who cross our paths who we can teach and or learn from.

 

There are two roles we play in our lifetime: that of the teacher, and of the student.
