EXPLORE THE FORMAT

Standing barre

A format to consider when you want to avoid getting down to the floor.

Sessions are not open for booking yet. This page explains what to look for in this format. Check the actual instructor, equipment and available session when enrollment opens.

What standing means

The whole exercise session should stay off the floor, including the warm-up and finish. Ask specifically about transitions; a mostly standing class may still include floor work.

Support and balance

Standing work can include knee bends, heel raises and balance tasks. Confirm the support required and whether keeping both hands on it is an option. Standing does not mean seated.

Before choosing this format

Describe the positions you need to avoid. If remaining seated is essential, ask about an entirely seated service rather than booking a standing session.

What to check on a session listing

For bookings with an independent instructor, use their own class information, prices and policies.
