BBody Barre was born from something that has lived within me for as long as I can remember. I took my first ballet class at the age of 3, and my passion for dance has stayed with me ever since. I eventually earned a degree in dance, worked as a dancer and teacher, and years later, recognizing the essential importance of working both body and mind together, I became certified in yoga. Following this same logic and understanding the importance of mental work to cope with the stress of everyday life, I also completed a course on mindfulness techniques. Throughout this journey, and with a degree in marketing along the way, I worked in the corporate world for 10 years while teaching Ballet, Contemporary Dance, and later, barre body classes in parallel. In 2020, I officially created the BBody Barre method, with various types of classes that allow for a complete and effective mind-body workout, aimed at helping all of my students achieve their perfect lifestyle—not “perfect” in the literal sense, but aligned with who we are individually. After four years of running the digital studio, still in operation, and the Teachers Training program (training the method to other instructors), I decided in 2024 to start hosting retreats, helping others in a more direct and personalized way with all the tools I have.
