Magda’s Barre & Bodywork

What a fantastic turnout for our first Barre taster class last night!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and gave it a go! You all worked so hard, and it was lovely to see so much enthusiasm and effort throughout the class!

I’m now in the process of organising regular Barre classes, starting Tuesday 3rd November at 6:30pm, at Ogwell Memorial Village Hall.

Classes will run in 4 week blocks, with a mix of strength, balance, mobility and plenty of those little Barre movements that really make your muscles work!

I’ll be getting in touch individually with everyone who attended the taster over the next few days to hear your thoughts and see if you’d like to continue, but you’re more than welcome to message me in the meantime!

And if you missed the taster but would like to join us, please feel free to get in touch to register your interest.

Hope to see some familiar faces and welcome a few new ones too!

WHAT TO EXPECT

We’ll start with a gentle warm-up before moving into a full-body barre workout, using chairs for support instead of a traditional ballet barre.

Music is a big part of barre 🎶 We’ll move to an upbeat playlist throughout the class, helping to set the pace, keep the energy up and make those challenging sections a little more fun!

The class is low impact and beginner-friendly, combining controlled movements, strength and balance work to challenge the whole body. We’ll also use a variety of equipment such as small Pilates balls, yoga blocks, light dumbbells and resistance bands — everything is provided.

Expect to feel your muscles working (and that famous barre burn 🔥) and to get a little sweaty!

Did you know stress often shows up in your body before you even realise you’re stressed?

Tight shoulders, neck pain, headaches, jaw clenching, even lower back discomfort… these are all signs your body is holding onto tension.

If you’re feeling achy or constantly tight, it might not just be posture or training—it could be stress sitting in your muscles.

Stress doesn’t just affect how we feel mentally; it often shows up in the body first. The good news? Once you notice it, there are ways to help your body release that tension.

Sometimes just noticing where stress sits in your body is the first step, if you want to explore how soft tissue throat can help it further, get in touch 📩
