From the reviews
This Yoga barre studio is simply amazing. From the beautiful esthetic of the decor to the skilled and knowledgeable instructors you can't go wrong. This studio literally has something for everyone at all levels. This is exactly what I've been needing in my life.
Yo! Barre is a peaceful, beautiful, comfortable, intimate, affordable studio with powerhouse instructors. Rhonda, Sue, Kay, and Nikki bring expertise, amazing energy and pure joy to every class. I’ve been taking weekly classes for almost 2 years and watched my strength and balance increase.
I attended a sound bath at Yo! Barre and have to admit to being utterly moved by Rhonda and Marlisa. Not only was the sound bath beautiful, but listening to these women's perspectives on my experience was invaluable. And the individual attention I felt they paid to me was humbling.
"I've been to several of Rhonda's yoga classes, and they’re always exactly what I need. Her sessions help me relax, stay present, and reset mentally. The stretching also really helps release tension in my body, which is important since I work out about four times a week.
Teacher training at Yo! Barre
Yo! Barre 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 Yo! Barre
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.
