BARRE BODY

TRAINING
OH, HELLO.
YOU MUST BE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING

The secret to gorgeous glutes? The way to make stretchy pants your uniform? A
career that makes your heart sing? Well, fancy that – we have all of these things
and more. If Mondays give you the sads and your colleagues don’t know their
kombucha from their kale, dive right in.
BARRE
If you want to learn to become an
exceptional barre teacher (the kind
of teacher you stalk from studio to
studio), our course is for you.

If you just want to be an average, mediocre barre

teacher, our course is probably not for you. Why? Well,
Barre Body’s 200-hour teacher training is Australia’s
most comprehensive barre teaching program. A
quickie, she’ll-be-right, weekend whirlwind this is not.
Taken over a 3-weekend schedule or our signature
Bali retreat, you will dive deep into the world of barre
and emerge as an incredibly knowledgeable, skilled,
and unique trainer – look at you!
We hate to toot our own horn (here, can you toot
this?) – but Barre Body pioneered the barre method in
Australia. Built from a fusion of the dynamic, US style,
the beautiful flowing sequencing of Vinyasa yoga, and
the truly transformative powers of Pilates, our blend
of barre is magical. Learn from the best and make it
your own.

Of course, if you’re not sure whether you actually

want to teach or if you’re simply a barre obsessive
(takes one to know one) – this course is still for you.
If you want to immerse yourself in all things barre,
this course will equip you with the information and
confidence you need to take your practice to the next
level.

Above all, this course is about YOU – not you the

teacher, but you the person.

Get ready for an experience that

will shift your perspective, inspire
you to be your most dynamic,
amazing self, and see you grow and
take charge of your one, gorgeous
life.
 YOUR UNIQUE TEACHING VOICE

Think about your favourite barre (or yoga, or pony

club, or fire twirling) teacher. What is it that makes
them so special? Why do you feel the need to be
glued to their Instagram, or to sign up to their
detoxing with crystals workshop when you’re sure
that rocks don’t have superpowers? Chances are,
it’s not because they can ace an anatomy quiz.

The best teachers are so special

because of how they deliver
their classes. They’re authentic,
magnetic, and unlike anyone else.
That’s what we want to help you
find – your unique teaching voice.
Yes, please – how do I do that?
OK, this sounds good. You’re ready for a life of sunrises
and green smoothies. What next?

Well, firstly choose the program that works for you. We

offer our course in Sydney, Melbourne or Bali. If you need
help deciding, get in touch and we can help guide you.

How does it work?

Once you’ve enrolled, we’ll send you all the prep you need
via email. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure everyone’s on the
same page before we start. If you don’t know your funny
bone from your femur, that’s what we’re here for!

The course itself teaches so much more than just the

exercises, but you’ll learn them too. Obviously. We’ll
cover:
· Anatomy and physiology
· Alignment principles
· Industry leading barre repertoire
· Dynamic and effective teaching skills
· Formatting and sequencing for 45 + 60 minute classes
· Hands-on adjustments
· Pre and post natal modifications
· Common injuries and competency modifications
· Barre conditioning
· Yoga, ballet and Pilates terminology
· Variations for beginners to advanced students
· Practice teaching …and that last one is where the magic is. This course is
· Cueing and verbal instructions
· Physical and correctional cueing so much more than repertoire. Our focus is on bringing
· Uncovering your unique teaching style out what’s so special about you as a teacher – and
helping you to develop that unique style.
What do I get at the end?
No silly hats or scrolls of parchment here. Once you’ve
completed your contact hours, observation hours and
practice teaching, and successfully completed your
assessment, you’ll graduate with a full barre teaching
certification.

provider. The 150-hour training course has been approved

Australia.

Can you sweeten the deal?
Just for you. As one of the most valuable aspects of the
program, you’ll receive a host of online support through
over 50 repertoire videos breaking down technique,
modifications and layering components, as well as an
accompanying study program of anatomy. The keys to the
kingdom, if you will.

Pilates is that thing the Victoria’s Secret Angels
do. We’re very good at it (though we prefer comfy
undies) and we’re also total Pilates geeks. Confession:
some Pilates – the bad kind – is boring. If you’ve ever
done a class that consists of a few lackluster clams
sandwiched between a bland plank and an ab curl
or 47, you’ll know what we mean. We’re sorry that
happened to you; your body deserves better.

That’s where Barre Body comes in: we’re passionate

about delivering Pilates training that teaches you not
just how to coach your clients into perfect form,

but how to structure, sequence,

and layer Pilates exercises to make
them flow like…well, yoga. Shhh,
don’t tell the Pilates purists!
But aren’t you Barre Experts?

Yes. Oh stop it you, you’re making us blush! The two

are not mutually exclusive. Our teaching team all come
from a highly skilled Pilates background (we’ll let you
in on a secret – that’s why our barre classes are so
good) and we truly believe that barre and Pilates are
a perfect complement to each other. “You’re pretty,
Pilates.” “No YOU are, barre.” See?

We saw that there was something missing from most

Pilates trainings on offer. They taught repertoire,
anatomy, biomechanics and even sequencing – all of
which are covered in Barre Body’s Pilates training –
but they weren’t teaching what to do with all that
good stuff. How to put it all together so that classes
feel good. How to structure exercises so that one
blends seamlessly into the next, without that clunky
stop-start feeling. How to be creative and fluid while
still teaching strong, dynamic classes that pack a
punch. Since sharing is caring, we decided to spill the
beans and create a course that reveals all of this and
more. Because the world does not need another dull
Pilates class.
How does it work?
Once you’ve enrolled, we’ll send you all the prep you
need via email. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure everyone’s on
the same page before we start.

The course itself teaches so much more than just the

exercises - but you’ll learn them too. Obviously. We’ll
cover:

· Applied anatomy
· Postural considerations and application
· Basic Biomechanics
· Hands on adjustments
· Extensive Pilates repertoire
· Class planning and development
· Practice teaching
· Observation and assessment skills
· Cueing: directional and instructional
· Correction and consideration based instruction
· Class delivery and srtucture
· Workouts for all levels and abilities
· Technique improvement and understanding
· Uncovering your unique teaching style …and that last one is where the magic is. This course is
so much more than repertoire. Our focus is on bringing
out what’s so special about you as a teacher – and

PIL ATES REFORMER
Everyone loves reformer. No, seriously – it’s the
ultimate crowd-pleaser, which is saying something
when you’re talking about a form of exercise. It’s
easy to see why: you get to workout lying down! On
something that is legitimately called a bed!* You get
fun things to play with – footstraps and springs and
accessories. And you get to refer to something called
a carriage, just like you’re Cinderella.
*disclaimer: it’s quite different to the fluffy pillow
kind, but still.

The cheeky thing is that while it all sounds very luxe,

the reformer actually offers endless opportunity to
add layers of challenge and creativity.

And because of all the bells

and whistles involved in using
apparatus, your choreography,
sequencing and cueing skills as a
teacher are truly put to the test.
Which makes it all the more fun to
teach!
Can’t I just pop my mat Pilates
class plan onto the reformer? Do I
need to do a whole other training?

Goodness no, and yes indeed! Because the reformer

adds load (via the springs) and takes away stability
(via the moving parts), you’ll find the concentric and
eccentric phases of some exercises will be completely
inverted from their mat equivalent. No idea what we’re
on about? Don’t worry – it’s all part of the course. You’ll
also need to reconsider your sequencing to make sure
you’re not spending half your class changing springs
or flipping positions, which is a skill that’s much harder
than it seems. Our course dedicates lots of time to
helping you practice putting it all together, rather
than just banging out the exercises. That’s because
keeping your class moving is the key to making it
enjoyable. Plus, if you’re not constantly stopping to
change settings, you get to squeeze more fun stuff
into your class. That means more sweat and less
breaks – your clients might grizzle in the moment, but
they’ll love you hard after.
How does it work?
Once you’ve enrolled, we’ll send you all the prep you
need via email. Don’t worry, we’ll make sure everyone’s on
the same page before we start.

The course itself teaches so much more than just the

exercises - but you’ll learn them too. Obviously. We’ll
cover:
· Biomechanics of exercises
· Hands on adjustments
· Equipment safety and operation
· Spring tension (why and how)
· Pilates reformer repertoire from foundational to kapow!
· Injury considerations
· Postural applications
· Self practice and technique development
· Practice teaching
· Cueing and verbal instruction
· Session/class structuring
· Motivation and client retention
· Uncovering your unique teaching style

…and that last one is where the magic is. This course is
so much more than repertoire. Our focus is on bringing
out what’s so special about you as a teacher – and
helping you to develop that unique style.
I’m sold! I want to start yesterday!
But do I need to complete my mat
course before I do reformer?

Mat and reformer are the perfect pairing, which is why

you’ll get a cheeky discount when you enrol in two or
more courses. But if you’re planning to start with just
one course, we recommend completing your Pilates
Mat training before you think about hopping onto
the reformer. Why? Well, there’s a reason that the
saying goes ‘from the ground up’. Pilates Mat training
gives you the perfect foundational understanding of
the Pilates principles, which then apply beautifully to
reformer. We think it makes more sense to learn to
nail a plank with your feet firmly on the ground, before
you go adding springs, and moving parts, and trying
to balance your toes on a footbar while pushing the
carriage…oh dear make it stop!

Of course, if you want to start with – or only do –

reformer, we won’t mind. You do you, you crazy free
spirit!

BARRE IN BALI
There’s no doubt that our 200-hour barre training is a
transformative experience. We hear it time and time
again (and we never get sick of it) – at the end of the
course, something has just shifted. You’re inspired,
you’re clearer, you’re ready to build a magical life.
You’re also really good at counting in 8s and finally
know what your core is. Turns out, it’s not just abs!

But if you want to really immerse yourself in this

transformation? We can think of nothing more perfect
than giving yourself the Eat, Pray, Love treatment and
shaking your life up in beautiful Bali.

It makes sense – who can start a

new life chapter without a little
waterfront contemplation, a little
beachside workout and a tealight
candle or 84? We’ve seen The
Bachelor, we know how this works.
The best thing about our Bali barre training (apart
from the coconuts) is that you can totally dive into
a week of wellness. Think of it as a mind, body and
soul reset. Hosted by our world-class teacher training
team, you’ll receive your fully accredited 200-hour
teacher training, while indulging in a gorgeous life
detox. We’re talking farm-to-table meals designed
to leave you feeling light and energised, spectacular
accommodation, and plenty of down-time for you to
soak it all in. It really is the ultimate way to start your
new chapter.

This sounds too good to be true.

Where is it so I can google-stalk
immediately?

In 2018 our Bali teacher training will be held at

Hotel Komune, a beach-front eco-resort in Keramas.
Designed with health and wellness in mind, the resort
offers luxe, environmentally conscious accommodation
and a delicious organic, locally grown menu. You’ll
nourish your body and soul with plenty of time to
take in the spectacular tropical paradise – gardens,
ocean, rockpools and lagoons form the breathtaking
backdrop to your training journey. So Insta-worthy.
What’s included?
· 200-hour Barre Body teacher training
· All meals, including cleansing juices and foods
(it’s gluten, meat, dairy and sugar free – in other
words, angelic)
· Single, twin or triple share accommodation
· Airport transfers upon arrival and departure in Bali
Yes! I want to live like a Balinese goddess for a week and come home
knowing everything about barre and life!

Are there any prerequisites?
Our courses are open to everyone! Our course
materials cater to everyone from absolute beginners
to those with existing fitness qualifications.

to complete a minimum of 10 hours of class
participation, which can be done by participating
in classes at Barre Body, Barre Body Online or other
specialised studios.
For Pilates: before your course commences, we’ll
invite you to take an informal online anatomy quiz
(don’t worry, it’s not an assessment!) so that you
can get an understanding of where your anatomical
knowledge sits. If you need some support to get you
up to speed, you can opt to take our online anatomy
pre-training course.
For Barre: before your course commences, you’ll
complete a unit of pre-training to make sure you’re
up to speed before we start.
I don’t have a clue about anatomy, help!
Firstly, don’t panic! One of the very best things
about Barre Body’s training programs is that we
make learning anatomy accessible and even – wait
for it – fun. Promise! We don’t expect you to have
an exercise science degree. A diploma is fine. Just
kidding!

I need to miss a day of the course, can I
still pass?
In order to be eligible for certification, trainees must
be present for 90% of the in-studio portion of our
courses. We’ll let you do the maths.
What does the assessment involve?
Think the final scene in Flashdance. A high cut
leotard, a stern panel, big hair…
Don’t worry – it’s nothing of the sort. We’ll talk you
through the assessment in detail at the end of the
course, but rest assured that it’s not at all scary and
the course is designed to totally prepare you to pass
with flying colours. Simply, iis an opportunity for you
to get some feedback from our superstar training
team on how you’re doing, all done with plenty of
love and encouragement.
What happens after the course?
The extra special thing about Barre Body’s training
courses is that we don’t just release you into the
wild at the end of the course and hope for the best.
We’re not the pash and dash types! Instead, you’ll
have plenty of ongoing support and mentoring from
our team, in the form of weekly guidance via email
and our Facebook community. Taking the leap from
training to teaching can be a little daunting, so we’re
right there with you even after the in-studio training
has wrapped up.
What kind of job can I expect to get with
this qualification?
Apart from astrophysicist or Harry Styles’ personal
hairbrusher? Most of our graduates go on to teach
at various barre studios. You can opt to freelance, or
you might like to take on a corporate contract. If you
have a Certificate III you may teach barre classes
in a gym, or you could start your own business or
studio.
