What is Yoga Barre

Nancy Norby created Yoga Barre — a fun workout that mixes the best parts of yoga, ballet barre, light weights, and easy cardio. It’s a full-body class that helps you get stronger, stand taller, and feel more flexible — all while giving you a good burn.

Instead of just big muscle moves, Yoga Barre works the small, stabilizing muscles too. That means it’s easier on your joints, helps your body recover, and lowers your chance of injury. It’s a smart way to build strength without beating up your body.

With upbeat music and simple routines, you’ll work your legs, glutes, core, and arms every class. You’ll leave feeling stronger, more balanced, and recharged. The best part? Anyone can do it — no matter your fitness level.

WHY Yoga Barre

  • It’s the Original — Created by Nancy Norby, Yoga Barre is the pioneer blend of yoga and barre. You’re not just taking a trend; you’re learning from the foundation of the method.
     
  • Balanced + Sustainable — Unlike high-impact workouts that can wear down joints, Yoga Barre builds strength with low-impact moves that protect your body long term.
     
  • The Fusion Factor — Other workouts usually focus on one thing (yoga = mindfulness, barre = strength, cardio = burn). Yoga Barre gives you all three in one class — sculpt, stretch, and sweat.
     
  • Small Muscles, Big Results — Most classes work only large muscle groups. Yoga Barre also trains the small stabilizing muscles that improve posture, balance, and injury prevention.
     
  • Feel-Good Energy — Upbeat music + mindful movement = you leave feeling both energized and recharged, not drained.
     
  • For Every Body — Whether you’re brand new, bouncing back, or an athlete, the moves are safe, adaptable, and effective.

  “ Since practicing with Nancy for a year my body actually craves it my mind and heart wants it and I almost literally can’t get through the day without a  yoga barre class! I never thought I would be the kind of person that wanted to work out but after working with Nancy everything has changed. I am more motivated than ever and just want to share my experience with as many people as I can so they can enjoy the benefits of this practice and working with Nancy. “

 - Rory P 



 "Nancy is a force of nature with incomparable knowledgeable and experience. I took her yoga barre training course and I came out with much more than the invaluable skill of teaching yoga barre. Nancy’s infectious energy motivates each one of her students to excel in their practice and as a yoga teacher."
