This sequence with Anita Seiz combines the core strengthening focus of Pilates with Classical Ballet repertoire found in Barre a Terre. Being on the ground brings dancers into a different relationship to gravity compared to the traditional standing barre. The result is increased length, strength and range of motion.
Great for practitioners who want to add some classical ballet movement to their Pilates mat practice, as well as core toning, mid-back and hips. Note - Not recommended for those with Osteoporosis or Osteoarthritis. Also not recommended if you are pregnant.

As a new mum, myo is perfect for me. I can choose from so many different styles and lengths of practices to suit my needs and access them any time of day. Thanks!

I couldn't help but notice your comments in a couple of different videos. You seem very hard on yourself! Be gentle and kind; nobody is perfect. Be happy and grateful that you have a healthy body you can move. :)

It's difficult to just listen without watching if you don't have any ballet experience.

very good training. love that you take time for the exercises... makes the concentration on the exercise and muscle we train easier and so the result is more defined and effective. thanks

Slow but challenging. Sometimes our muscles need a slow, strong movement to develop! Thanks Anita.

It was okay. More relaxing than a difficult workout. More moderate than intermediate.
