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 one is all about smart muscle engagement. By using the pilates ball, you’ll eliminate the chance to cheat, forcing you to activate the right muscles from the get-go. You’ll target glutes and hamstrings to build strength that supports jumps, balances, turnout and those beautifully held arabesques. A great conditioning boost on its own or paired with ballet class, this workout teaches you how to connect deeper into the right areas – no fluff, all fire. Get ready to wake up the back of the body and feel the results fast.
