From the reviews

I have been doing yoga with Ashely now for almost 3 years, and her classes are AMAZING! She’s so diligent about ensuring we have options for our poses and that we’re doing what’s right for our bodies in that space and time. I always walk away feeling refreshed physically and even more so mentally!

I needed something for myself this year and I tried out Elevate and I’m sooooo happy I did! I’m grateful for this group of people and the amazing instructors that are so welcoming and encouraging! If you’re looking to try yoga or barre - which is a mix of Pilates and yoga - then I HIGHLY recommend coming to a class!

★★★★★ — Brianna, Feb 2026

I absolutely love Elevate! I’ve been attending classes for the past six months, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging, Ashley is a wonderful owner, and the studio atmosphere is so welcoming.

Can't say enough good things about this studio! I was new to Barre and Yoga and quickly felt at ease. The instructors are lovely, encouraging and helpful with technique and form. Highly recommend checking it out!

Teacher training at Elevate Barre & Yoga

Elevate Barre & Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming a barre instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — many boutique studios run a proprietary, method-specific training (Pure Barre, Bar Method, and barre3 each certify you in their own format), while others offer a more general barre certification you can teach anywhere. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — trainings often run as intensive weekend blocks or over several weeks, and most studios want you taking classes there regularly first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.

Your first barre class at Elevate Barre & Yoga

New to barre? Almost everyone is their first time, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: barre blends small isometric holds and tiny pulses at a ballet barre with light weights and mat work — it's low-impact and joint-friendly, but it works muscles you didn't know you had, so a little shaking in your legs is the point, not a problem. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: fitted leggings and a top you can move in — nothing baggy, so the instructor can see your form. Grip socks: most barre studios require grip socks — bring a pair or check whether they sell them at the front desk; the grippy soles keep you steady during the pulses. What to bring: water and a small towel. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and meet your instructor. It clicks fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.

Barre is low-impact, so it suits most bodies and fitness levels — but if you're pregnant or working around an injury, check with a doctor and let your instructor know so they can offer modifications.
