We're warming up
We're taking a short pause while Ballet With Isabella steps into something new. Same world-class training. A bigger mission behind it. This next chapter is about more than ballet. It's about how you train, and how you show up – in and out of the studio.
We'll be back soon. In the meantime... keep it moving
- 32 calf rises each leg! – keep it slow and controlled
- 30 glute bridges – lengthen through the floor
- 1 minute plank - embrace the shakes!
- 4 x 30 second balances in retiré each side – if you fall, we start from the top!
- Practice your pirouettes from 5th and 4th each side. Try each turn until you feel 1 percent progress
- An arabesque each side – master it, and make it clean
- 1 minute butterfly stretch – breathe, don’t force, keep your back long and actively push the knees out
This 20 minute workout is your go to core switch on, perfect before class or as a quick morning boost. We’ll train the muscles that truly support ballet technique, from the deep abdominals to the hip flexors and obliques, helping you move lighter, stand taller and feel more connected in every step. Each exercise is designed to build strength without bulk, giving you freedom through the spine and control through your centre. Short, effective and guaranteed to fire up your powerhouse, this is the kind of session that pays off the moment you step into the studio.
