I fell in love with barre on accident when my friend talked me into trying a new client special with her at a boutique barre in Charlotte. Before, I thought of it as a very easy workout that I wasn’t going to get much from, but I immediately fell in love with the way we constantly moved throughout the workout, how it changed my muscles in a completely different way and for the better. I took a break from instructing but really missed it and wanted to create my own brand of workout combining with the community and creating an event experience. Then my brand, Barre POPT, was born. I’m excited to be part of the Barre Intensity family where they recognize great instructors and the uniqueness of what each instructor can develop from their training.
