baby barre®
mommy & me class
Hi! I'm Tanya the owner of barre n9ne® studio and the creator of baby barre® and mom to two beautiful boys!
In March 2010 I opened barre n9ne® studio. Not long after I opened, my husband and I found out we were expecting our first child. I was obviously over the moon excited, but I was nervous as to how I would juggle teaching classes at my new studio and having a newborn. I tried to put this fear aside and was lucky enough to teach classes right up until my due date.
In early 2011 I gave birth to my first son. I loved my one on one time at home with him but I was eager to get back to teaching. Once I was cleared at my 6 week appointment I asked a few fellow mom friends who just had babies if they wanted to meet me at the studio for a class with their babes. I quickly realized that if I taught a class incorporating my son I could get in a great workout, chat with other new moms, and he would have a weekly "play date". A Win Win for both mom and baby!
After a fun first class, baby barre® was born! This instantly became something we all wanted to do each week and so did the babies!
My little guy loved the music and typically fell asleep in the carrier at the barre, giving me a mommy time out so to speak along with a great sweat sesh!
A little about the class!
baby barre® classes are ideal for babies 6 weeks-12 months old, essentially non-mobile babies who fit in carriers. However we know how hard it is for moms to get in a workout so we welcome all friends up to 18 months old.
baby barre® is an ideal way to rebalance your body and rejuvenate your energy by concentrating on specific postpartum areas that need extra attention while enjoying time with your baby and building social connections. Enhance your sense of body awareness and positive body image, improve balance, strengthen muscles and reduce stress and fatigue
Babies are gently and safely incorporated into the class. From "kiss ups" to airplane," this class is great for beginners and experienced exercisers. baby barre as mentioned above is ideal for those who are not actively crawling or walking but all tiny friends are welcome. Nursing, feeding, walking, bouncing and crying are normal activities here!
Please bring a sling or baby carrier, a receiving blanket and your baby's favorite toy as well!
*Our baby barre sessions take place many times throughout the year.
Email us to get information about our next session starting mid February!
Do you have a gym or fitness studio and are interested in adding baby barre® classes to your schedule? Send us an email for information on our upcoming trainings.
Open Barre classes (kiddos allowed!)
Wednesdays at 10:45am in Danvers!
Open barre is just that...OPEN to all moms and kiddos under 5 years old. Class will safely take place with children in the fitness room.
We created this class with the busy mom in mind who just wants to fit in a workout but doesn't have a sitter. Unlike baby barre® you would not wear your baby in a carrier during an open barre class, giving you the freedom to participate in the workout while smiling and interacting with your little one in the same room. This class is great for kids who are having a hard time staying with sitters or basically anyone other than mom (or dad)!
We recommend bringing your child's favorite toys to keep them busy. Older children have been known to bring tablets and headphones :)
