Booty Barre

About this class

Get ready to sweat and have some fun! This MerryBody Pilates class is Barre inspired, which means you’ll need a chair or table to do this class. This is the ultimate total body workout that not only tones and strengthens your body but also increases your flexibility! Ok, let’s do this! You’ll notice this class is filmed from Emma’s home due to COVID-19.

Alignment notes

The most important thing to keep in mind (like with all MerryBody Pilates inspired movements) is to keep your core engaged, drawing your ribs back and down toward your hips. You may feel like you want to try and reach your leg really high but you’re better off thinking length, rather than height, this will ensure you protect the lower back area. The movement comes from a hinge of the hip, squeezing the booty and leg muscles to lift. Think of your technique here similar to how you do All 4’s.
