BELLA
As a professional dancer, pilates, yoga and fitness were always a big part of Bella’s life, keeping her strong and healthy and avoiding injury. ‘In my first year out of dance school I was searching for ways to sustain myself in such a challenging industry. I discovered barre and became addicted to this motivating, uplifting and challenging workout. I have now been teaching barre for 6 years, and in 2023 I launched my own teacher training programme BarreForm with a friend and colleague. My ethos is centered around my love of movement as a way to facilitate stress relief, build confidence and develop a stronger mind-body connection. I love empowering folks from all walks of life to connect deeply to their bodies and find enjoyment in challenging themselves as a way of exploring what they're capable of, rather than using exercise as punishment or solely for body transformation. I have personally found that the resilience & endurance I've gained through barre has helped me in so many other aspects of life, and I love sharing this with others. I have a positive, high-energy and technical teaching style and an inclusive, body-positive approach. My classes are upbeat and challenging, with plenty of options to modify or advance the exercises. I have a big focus on safe alignment and technique, and I like to take the practice seriously but not take myself too seriously - I do love to share a few giggles along the way!’
