Be You: Finding Your Freedom in Movement

“Be” represents a multitude of layers of growth within oneself, ranging from Be Strong, Be Sexy, Be you, or simply just BE.

The foundation of Be studios promotes a stronger and healthier body, mind, and spirit. Fitness at Be presents a variety of techniques such as Pilates, Pole, Dance and Yoga. The Pole classes taught there use Pilates as a warm up to improve ones flexibility and core strength, the remainder of the class is used to instruct students on specific pole tricks. Pole tricks and spins can be compared to acrobatics done vertically with the pole as a prop. This technique is an excellent way to build upper body strength along with a full body core workout.

The Stylized dance class offered is called Sexy, and it focuses on choreographed sensual movements with or without the pole. Learning how your spine, hips, arms, fingertips and ones own personal attitude can combine together and create a powerful dance of self expression and liberation.

This workshop gives you a well rounded taste of how powerful you will feel by invoking your freedom though movement.

• Part 1: We will warm you up by leading you through the essentials of "sexy", shown and expressed through walking, crawling, and posing.
• Part 2: You will be introduced to a variety of graceful pole spins, twirls and acrobatic tricks.

Experience for yourself one of the most popular ways to get fit and have fun.
