Greetings Barre Bae!
 
I hope you are finding healthy and productive ways to reflect as the year winds down. December, whether we like it or not, tends to be a month where we and those around us do some heavy inventory on the previous 12 months. My hope is that you practice grace with yourself when considering challenging moments over the past year and truly celebrate the places where you've grown. Not acknowledging all the good things is just as bad only recognizing the bad.
 
This week we're keeping it short and sweet, as I'm still adjusting from being gone all last week on a work trip, with a Smoke + Stretch recap, going over the weekly class schedule and programming for this week, and planning for Reset on the River 2025!
 
 
This week we are taking a very gentle approach to our barre practice. I'm a big proponent of listening to your body and honoring where you are from day to day.
 
As many of you know, I'm still in recovery from a serious fall that happened last year. Though daily movement and a consistent barre practice have helped in my rehab journey, there are some things I simply cannot escape. The pain that occurs while sitting in planes for long periods of time is one of them.
 
I returned from my week-long work trip Saturday knowing that I would need to take it easy this week, but not wanting to cancel classes.
 
Register here to join me this week for a back friendly floor practice. We will still feel that same barre burn we all know and love, but staying extra gentle by doing only floor work and stretching for a little bit longer.
 
 
 
Reset on the river 2.0
Megan, Michelle, and I have been working hard behind the scenes to offer another fall retreat on the Russian River in 2025.
We heard you loud and clear, the retreat will happen over the weekend this time around so more folx can join us.
 
Presale and payment plans will be available next month!
 
Pass it on…
