Class Info

About this Class

This mobility class is built to set the tone for your day. Designed with morning movement in mind, it combines functional strength work (think plank variations) with stretching sequences that keep you long, lean and mobile. It’s efficient, energising and highly compatible with ballet training – waking up the full body and building awareness at the same time. You’ll finish feeling brighter, looser and ready for class or whatever else your day brings. Short, smart and a serious boost to your routine.
