Barre-based classes uses a combination of postures inspired by ballet and other disciplines such as yoga and Pilates. Participants use the barre as a prop to balance while taking part in movements that focus on isometric strength. Barre-based exercises typically consist of high repetitions of small range-of-motion movements.
The benefits of the barre workout include mind and body concentration, strengthening of the core and improved balance, posture and flexibility.
The Ponte Vedra YMCA is located at 170 Landrum Lane.
