What's Inside?
- A STRONG BODY & A HEALTHY MIND: You’ll learn how to listen to your body and workout daily, creating time you didn't believe you had. You will receive short (15 minutes) daily workouts directly to your inbox.
- STRONG & TONED BODY: Through short daily ballet workouts you'll develop a strong, toned body and core, to help alleviate any niggling back pain, improve your balance, reduce injury and feel comfortable in your clothes.
- IMPROVED POSTURE: These short workouts will not only help to increase your strength for improved posture, but also give you an understanding of good posture and how to achieve it.
- TIME TO PUT YOURSELF FIRST WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY: Form a habit of exercising regularly wherever you are to feel energised, positive, and back in control.
- A BELIEF THAT YOU CAN DO IT: Exercising regularly increases your energy, so you can deal with anything life throws at you. This in turn motivates you to exercise more and take good care of your body.
- TRACKING YOUR DAILY GOALS: Tracking your progress and seeing the small wins you can gain on a daily basis is vital to keep you motivated and moving forwards.
I had always thought that I couldn't do ballet as I am very un-co-ordinated. I do lots of yoga & I run but when I saw an online challenge in late January I thought I would give it a go. My Mum had died tragically just before Christmas and so I didn't know whether I would feel up to it. I loved it. Joined BBackstage and the encouragement from the wonderful Sarah and the ladies about all kinds of things has changed me and got me through lockdown too.

Before joining BBackstage Ballet, although I knew I needed to work on my health and fitness, I told myself that I didn't have the time or energy and that my injuries limited what I could and couldn't do. This group of wonderful and supportive women, under the instruction and guidance of Sarah, the most caring and encouraging of coaches one would ever need, has shown me that not only were all my preconceptions about myself wrong, but they have given me the tools and motivation to fit my workouts in anywhere, even at work!

When I signed up for a short BB challenge last year I honestly never thought I'd A) really enjoy it or B) get through it alive as I felt totally past it health wise, I felt old!!! But it was life changing and I so love the warmth and the honesty within this site. Love our trainer too!!!!

I knew that ballet/barre is good for my body, I just needed to get my ass kicked - ehrm be held accountable and finding a teacher that suited my needs.

I just loved the opportunity to learn ballet and incorporate it in my daily routine as I didn't have the chance in my childhood to learn ballet and it's one dance form I always admired and loved. It's flow and it brings me to life, it's my go to exercise, especially on days I feel low on energy. It has opened up my body beyond my expectation. Sarah, for you and the community, its the greatest ever positive support group and you are so approachable. Its group of women who lift each other up.

I used to be a keen runner, but since having knee surgery and being told I couldn't run any more in September 2018 I have been struggling to find some thing that fills the gap. Breaking Ballet is perfect as most of the exercises are low impact on the joints, and working out from my laptop allows me to be flexible and fit in and around my family and work. The support from Sarah and the BB community is also invaluable.
