Floor Barre

Port de Bras ("carriage of arms") is a series of movements made by passing the arms through various positions, in order to make the arms move gracefully and harmoniously. This class targets upper-body strength, definition and coordination, and is designed to tone lean, sculpted arms (specifically the upper arm where we develop the dreaded "chicken wing"!). Using only your own body weight as resistance, we avoid building bulk, resulting in lean "ballerina arms". Full body flexibility exercises are also included in this class.
