How long have you been teaching Pure Barre and what formats do you teach?
I’ve been teaching for 8 years—time flies! I teach Classic, Define, and Align.
What’s your favorite move to teach and why?
Flying pretzel—with a tube! 😉🖤 It’s just the most perfect squeeze for your outer seat + obliques. I love pretzels of all kinds (for seat work, for snacks).
How do you stay motivated to show up and give your best?
I’m motivated by our clients— I love getting to see each person’s progress and the moment when it “clicks.” I admire that they show up ready to take on anything! I love the energy of surrounding myself with fiercely determined people who are not only kind, but they consistently show up and work towards their goals. Sometimes, it is honestly because I love to chat and catch up with my friends :)
What do you love most about the Pure Barre community?
Our people! Even when I’m having a bad day, showing up here helps me to reset and remind myself that we have some really kind and supportive people cheering us on through every little step or shake in life.
