IM=X® Barre Certification

IM=X® Barre can be taught as an excellent stand alone or mixed with IM=X® Tower for a powerful total body barre workout. Traditional ballet moves are paired with IM=X® stabilization techniques and spring resistance for upper and lower body toning.  Twelve sequences provide a unique variety of hybrid routines, particularly when taught in combination with the IM=X® Tower Barre sequences. Grande and demi pliés are performed in combination with IM=X® Ring Stabilization Techniques. The leg sequences progress with tendus, attitudes, leg extensions and arabesques to provide a powerful lower body lengthening and toning. Calf raises known in ballet terms as relevés are combined with upper body strengthening using light weights. Quick leg lifts or grande battements challenge leg flexibility and raise the heart rate. The secret to a lean and strong body has been known by dancers for years – now your IM=X® clients can learn these moves and enjoy the benefits.

Certification Requirements: The IM=X® Pilates Basic Intensive Certification is a prerequisite for the IM=X® Barre Certification. This one-day course can be scheduled in-person or virtually. Educational video files should be studied prior to course attendance. Practice hours are recommended upon course completion and a Practical Exam must be successfully completed within three months to be awarded certification.
