From the reviews
I love this class and this studio! I plan my whole week around taking Jordan's Barre class. Her intuitive prompting helps me get the best workout while protecting my joints and back. I have seen a big difference in my stength and fitness since taking her classes.
Om has been life changing for me. I practice yoga here and I am so thankful for the practice and community. All the instructors are lovely and most of the classmates are also so amazing. I love this community and I’m so thankful to have found it!
I can't say enough good things about my experience at OM. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed into a warm and inviting community. The barre classes here are an absolute highlight for me. Not only are they incredibly fun & challenging, but the instructors have a knack for making the time fly by.
Om studios is hands-down, one of the best yoga studios in the Monterey Peninsula! They have a really simple reasonable structure for their classes and amazing teachers.
Teacher training at Om Studios
Om Studios 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 Om Studios
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.
