Body by Barre
Are you ready for a one hour full body workout? Set to today's hottest music, Body by Barre fuses ballet, pilates, sports conditioning and stretching. The moves are low impact, but will have intensity intervals of strength training followed immediately by deep recovery stretching. This regimented routine will evenly sculpt and quickly transform the entire body, resulting in a toned, trim physique. Classes begin with a warm up focusing on postural strength and alignment, followed by upper body exercises. A waist high sturdy surface will be used for flexible training, and to sculpt the lower body and abs. Class ends with core work and stretching. Many of the stretches and strengthening exercises are endorsed by sports medicine physicians and orthopedists.

Buns & Guns
This class will help you tighten, firm and tone your buttocks and pelvic region (Buns) through various equipment and body weight exercises specifically designed for this area of the body.

Chair Yoga
Use the chair as a prop to make many of the traditional yoga asanas (movements or poses) more accessible. Most yoga poses can be adapted to be practiced while seated in a chair or standing next to one. A chair yoga practice is perfect for those who find themselves stuck in an office chair for too many hours of the day, for those feeling nervous about a traditional yoga class, or for those who simply do not want to get down on the floor to enjoy the many benefits of a yoga practice.
This 60-minute class will open with a short meditation, move through seated warm-ups, and progress to standing poses using the back of the chair for balance. Debbie will offer variations and options throughout the practice so that you can tailor your experience to meet the needs of your mind, body, and soul. Feel both soothed and energized with this accessible yoga practice.
