Barre Certification Benefit #1

One of the first tools you’ll find in your post barre training toolbox is our Anatomy Workshop. This online workshop is a combination of recorded footage from a live workshop and web recorded series. In total, 10 hours of learning broken down into 25 video chapters. By participating in this online workshop, you will broaden your understanding of anatomy and movement, and how they pertain to teaching a safe and effective barre fitness class. This will cover:
Basic Language of Anatomy
Introduction to the Connective Tissue System
Basic Body Mechanics and Muscle Function
Critical Musculoskeletal Structures
Upon completion of the online exam you will receive 10 AFAA CEUs, 1 ACE CEC, and 10 ACSM CECs.
Barre Certification Benefit #2
Alignment
Next to our Anatomy Workshop, you’ll find in your post barre training toolbox is all things alignment. Although we cover these alignment principles in detail during our barre instructor training (pages 8-14 of our instructor manual); we find it important enough to review again, and again and again. We have over 20 minutes of clips covering some of the most fundamental positions of the body during a Barre Intensity class which cover:
Alignment: The Spine
Alignment: Hip & Shoulder
Alignment: Rib Cage
Alignment: Hip, Knee, Toe Relation

Transitions & Flow clips (as covered on pages 159 & 160 of the instructor manual):
Transitions & Flow: Warm-Up
Transitions & Flow: Upper Body

Choreography Transition Tactics Workshop:
Here we share our five most successful choreography transition tactics to get you seamlessly moving from one piece of choreography to the next. Working with thousands of barre instructors and trainees across the world, one of the biggest pieces of feedback we share is "work on your transitions". We realize "working on transitions" is a lot easier said than done which is why we created this workshop that describes in detail our five most successful choreography transition tactics.
Five Choreography Transition Tactics Covered:
Pull Apart/Piece Together
Start Off Slow
Use a Filler
Sandwich Your Moves
