Buns. Thighs. Arms. It’s easy to envy the ballerina’s lean, toned body. Carmel Barre classes sculpt and strengthen muscles with tiny movements performed in high repetition to create long muscles. Classes are small so instructors can keep a watchful eye on everyone. Although the studio doesn’t offer pilates classes, traditional pilates and yoga movements are worked into every class experience. The big sunny windows opening onto Pacific Street and shiny wood floors don’t hurt either.
