Last night saw the launch of a new class for Pilates with Priya, something a little different but so, so great… Adult ballet \ud83d\ude42 A great compliment to Pilates.<\/p>\n

Now before you squirm there were no tutus, no sequins and ballet shoes optional. I’m not qualified to teach ballet, but luckily Chrissy is and she certainly put us through our paces! Focused around a barre this is a class that is focused on strength, toning and core stability. Inner thighs, outer thighs, quads and gluts are worked hard, the element of balance means your core gets activated and the positions used increase flexibility. Sounds hard, well yes it was, but in such a good way, plus it was a lot of fun. Cue much laughter and a room full of smiling ladies. No photos to show you I’m afraid, think I’ll have to wait a few weeks before a photo is allowed. None of us are going to cut it as prima ballerina’s but we are going to have fun working out and toning up. Plus in my opinion it’s a great chance to break out the legwarmers \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here’s a few comments from last night’s class:<\/p>\n

“LOVED ballet, my thighs! I could barely drive home. They felt wibbly. “<\/em><\/p>\n

“I hope my muscles forgive me. Ballet hilarious. Hard work but fun.<\/em>“<\/em><\/p>\n
