For nearly three decades, Nancy Norby has understood that core strength is about more than just physicality—it’s the foundation for success in all aspects of life. Whether in the studio, at the barre, or in daily living, a strong center is key. This philosophy is the essence of Nancy’s creation, Yoga Barre, which operates on multiple levels. On the surface, it’s an intense workout blending cardio, flexibility, and strength training.
Nancy has been motivating students, new teachers, and clients alike with her unique approach to achieving a long and lean physique. As the master educator for continuing education, Nancy combines her deep understanding of human anatomy with her extensive dance knowledge. This fusion allows her to create targeted small muscle group workouts that not only offer effective cross-training but also help prevent and recover from injuries.
When practiced in a heated room, reaching temperatures of 95 degrees, it becomes a transformative muscle conditioning class that authentically integrates elements from ballet, modern dance, cardio, and yoga. Yoga Barre reveals that all movement practices, despite their differences, are united at their core through the mind-body connection—the brain’s ability to communicate with the muscles, creating balance and harmony. Nancy excels at peeling back the layers of these disciplines, celebrating both their shared foundation and unique qualities.
