Online Barre Classes
I’ve always loved the discipline of barre — the focus, the precision, the way it leaves you feeling longer, stronger and leaner. But I’ve also spent thirty-five years as a physio. So when I teach barre, I teach it with a Chartered Physiotherapist’s experience on alignment, joint loading, balance and how each movement actually serves you.
We use a barre for balance and as a prop, and music for motivation! The beauty of barre lies in its variety, moving through big and small ranges of motion in all directions, targeting deep muscles you probably didn’t even know existed. Strengthen and stabilize your core with a dynamic flow that blends mindful movement and breath, building strength, balance, and body awareness without high impact. It also boosts your mood!
These classes are designed to fit into real lives. Some days you’ve got forty-five minutes and a clear head. Some days you’ve got five minutes and a kitchen counter. Both count. Both are here.
On-demand barre for every mood and ability — from a 2-minute Snack Barre to a full Iron Barre workout. Taught by a Chartered Physiotherapist who loves to teach and uses the barre to enhance her own fitness.
Iron Barre
Strength-focused. Heavier loading, longer holds, real muscle work. Leave class wobbly in the best way. These classes are usually around 30-45mins long and cover all bases
Relax at the Barre
Slower, calmer, more restorative. For end-of-the-day bodies that need movement and stretching without intensity.
Mini Barre
A focused 10-minute session. Same quality, less time. Perfect for early morning wake-ups or lunch breaks.
Snack Barre
2-5 minutes. One body part. Quick fix for stiff shoulders, tight hips, or a chair-shaped spine. Your between-meetings or between chores reset.
Barre Mat
Floor routines to add on to your barre class or to do alone. All are under 10 minutes long and each targets a specific body part

Who barre is for?
Barre is for anyone who wants to feel stronger and more graceful in their body. You don’t need a dance background. You don’t need a barre — a sturdy chair, a kitchen counter, bannisters or window sill will do. You don’t need to be flexible, athletic, or under fifty. (Half my regulars are over fifty. Most have never done ballet.)
Barre is especially good for: women navigating menopause, people sitting at desks all day, anyone returning to movement after time away, and bodies that respond better to control than to pounding.
If you’ve got a specific injury or persistent pain, please book a 1:1 first so we can make sure online classes are the right next step for you.

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
A sturdy chair, kitchen counter, bannisters or even a mantlepiece work perfectly. It just needs to be sturdy so you can hold on to it and you need a bit of space around you so you can stretch out. Something between hip and waist height is ideal but not a necessity.
-
It really depends on your base level of fitness. If you are just starting out on your fitness journey, start with Mini Barre or Relax at the Barre, get the feel of the technique, then build up. Every class has alternatives if anything feels too much. If you have any major health issues please see your GP or contact me for further information
-
As with any exercise, consistency is key. Two to three classes a week is a good starting rhythm. Snack or Mini Barre on the days in between if you haven’t a lot of time.
-
Strength training and weight-bearing movement are some of the most evidence-backed things you can do for bone density, mood and energy through perimenopause and beyond. Barre delivers all three not to mention it’s low intensity so it won’t strain the pelvic floor
-
It isn’t really necessary to have other equipment but I find it useful to have a stretch band, a squishy ball around 9” diameter and a light weight. A mat is also desirable
-
It very much depends on the injury or surgery. I would suggest that you contact me with a few details and we can discuss it further or ask your health professional
-
Wear something comfortable and a little bit stretchy so you can move in all directions. I usually do barre in bare feet but you can wear trainers if you get sore feet

“Over the years Trish’s expertise and enthusiasm has made me stronger with better balance and more poise. I look forward to her classes they’re a highlight of my week; challenging and always great fun”
Laura
"I've been practising barre with Trish for 2 years. I adore her friendly and inspiring classes. Trish works every muscle group and is a stickler for great posture. With her physiotherapy background she's able to provide an added dimension to the class that helps keep me injury free. Since meeting Trish I am stronger, more toned and flexible and have had many giggles with her along the way! I highly recommend her classes."
Lizzie
“ I just love my barre sessions with Trish! It is THE BEST way to start the day, (even though we might groan a bit from time to time, especially when she brings out both the balls AND the bands .….) - I don’t just feel stronger and fitter, but the classes are always full of fun and laughter and I leave with a spring in my step and smile on my face every time.”
Lucie
Trish’s Barre class is a fantastic full-body workout. It’s tough but rewarding, and the benefits become really noticeable when you attend regularly. I always notice the difference when I’ve been away from class for a while. The classes have helped improve my strength and overall fitness.
