It is Fearless February <\/a>at Healthy Living London so when better to try something new\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was three, I was whisked off to Saturday morning ballet class; the only daughter with two older brothers, it was a nice reprieve from the side line of the rugby pitch for my Mum! It was only when I went to University that my dancing switched to the dancefloor & the lifestyle of a ballerina and a student didn\u2019t exactly complement one another! I haven\u2019t done any Ballet for over 10 years so when I was invited to a class at NRG-Barrebody<\/a> I was a little apprehensive; will I even remember how to point my toes!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NRG-Barrebody<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A five minute walk from the tube station, I\nfound the characterful studio above the shops on Kentish Town Road \u2013 it is\ntucked away so look out for \u2018Kentish Town Pilates studio\u2019 and buzz for the gate\nto open. The studio is a hub of companies working independently alongside one\nanother, including N-RG Barre Body, Physiotherapy and Pilates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as I walked into the studio all of those\nworries were put to rest by Nathalie; founder, class teacher and a previous Ballet\ndancer professionally trained at Rosella Hightower in France. After leaving\ndance and embarking on an alternative career Nathalie rediscovered her passion\nand has been inspiring women through Barre for the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was given a very warm welcome and talked\nthrough what to expect by Nathalie, her kind tone and complete grace as a\nBallet dancer put me at ease right away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nathalie teaches classes including Pilates,\nintense Barre, Barre kids & yoga all week between Kentish Town & a\nstudio in Highgate. This Saturday morning class had myself and 6 others with a\nreal mix of abilities from dancers to complete beginners and some in between\nlike me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d heard Barre was intense and it did not\ndisappoint. It had all the elegance of Ballet paired with the strength of a\nfull body workout. It was a jam packed hour; starting in the centre to warm up,\nmoving to the Barre; using resistance bands and a blast for the core on the\nmats. Each exercise followed a pattern of working each side, starting with one\nmove, stretching ourselves further and graduating to fast paced pulsing to\nreally feel the burn! There was plenty of opportunity to reset and we were\nencouraged to breathe through the burn to keep going. Something I took away\nfrom class is the importance of breath, it can be used Nathalie talked us through\neach exercise and gave plenty of adaptations for ability so nobody was left out.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst it was a tough workout it was\nactually a really relaxing experience. The morning light shone through the huge\nwindows of the studios, good music flowed through the room and there was a real\nsense of empowerment in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to have any dance background\nto go to this class, every exercise was expertly demonstrated and helpful\ncorrections were given throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of encouragement kept us Pli\u00e9ing and\npointing until the very end. It was obvious that there is a real friendship\nbetween the \u2018regulars\u2019 who were very happy to welcome newbies like me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We finished off with yoga stretches to\nrelease tension on the mat, a moment of calm for the mind and a positive\naffirmation to set us up for a successful day. After class Nathalie chatted\nwith each of us to see how we had enjoyed the class and took a real personal\ninterest in everyone\u2019s experience, it is these personal touches that make you\nwant to go back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe happy with what you have and are, be generous with both and you won\u2019t have to hunt for happiness\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
