Hamstring release

Using your breath, stretch forward and release your hamstring, for a deeper stretch cross your arms above your head.

Hip opening

Start to get the blood flow going with a dynamic hip opening,

Make sure it feels comfortable for you by taking it to a different level to find your height.

Tendu Plie

Massaging your feet, and waking up your toes with a side tendu moving into a plie, preparing your body for continued movement and finding you stability.

Rises

Take to the barre and engage you ballet posture,

Lifting up the arches and calves in your own speed.

Body circles

Massaging out any little tight parts and connecting your breath with the movement,

This movement will make you feel expansive and confident to take to the barre.
