Workout anytime, anywhere! No dance experience necessary. No equipment required. At home, in your time, guilt free
We can experience an imbalance of hormones that affect our menstrual cycle, temperature, mood, diet, sleep patterns, and libido. If we are not aware of the lifestyle changes we could make in order to correct this imbalance, we can be left feeling frustrated and overwhelmed.
In order to achieve balance and embrace this natural change, it is vital for us to learn how to be kinder to ourselves and more self-aware, learning as much as we can about our own bodies.
I know that ageing gracefully can feel like a challenge sometimes. As we strive to hold onto youth, the natural hormonal imbalances that occur can knock us off our stride and leave us feeling helpless, frustrated and overwhelmed.
But how about we choose for this to be a time of growth, creating a deeper sense of self-awareness, appreciation and acceptance, while we tone, strengthen, and sculpt our body?
What would it mean to you if after just 15-20 minutes a day you felt fitter, stronger healthier, more graceful and much more confident?
How would that change your life?
Ballet-inspired movement can assist in supporting a healthier and more confident self. So, not only are you caring for your body, but you’re caring for your mind, too.
The graceful movements of ballet encourage us to be more mindful and aware. It teaches us that by taking control in any given situation, we can create harmony for ourselves from within as well as outside!
And this is why ballet-inspired movement is the best form of exercise for women aged 40 and above.
I know what it’s like to lose touch with your body. I went from Ballet School to Law School and ended up sitting at a desk, crushing my body.
Without ballet, I was frustrated. I tried all kinds of other workouts, but nothing inspired me and I didn’t stick at anything for very long.
Exercise has to be fun. It has to be something you love – part of your lifestyle.
After many years I rekindled my love affair with dance and qualified as a ballet teacher, so I could help other people reap the ballet benefits.
Breaking Ballet was born.
I’m on a mission to break down ballet’s barriers, so that everyone can enjoy a ballet inspired workout, no matter who they are, how old they are, what they’re wearing, what they look like, or how bendy they are. There is no dancing, just ballet inspired exercises to make you strong, lean and confident.
I have exercised all my life but no form of movement has come close to creating the mind and body connection and self-awareness that ballet has.
Based on our 4-pillar method, these workouts will help you to ACHIEVE BALANCE by fusing together the best of ballet-inspired movement with bodyweight, cardio and stretching exercises, into carefully curated workouts lasting 15-20 minutes.
The 21 Day Body Re-Boot is a body and mind workout programme specifically designed for women in their 40s and above. That means it’s designed specifically for YOUR body and YOUR hormones.

“Since doing the course, I have found my missing core strength. My legs are slimmer and more defined, as are my arms. I walk taller. I feel healthier. I’ve got results. And fast! I hate the gym. I’ll join for a year, go a few times a week and end up building bulk and not losing any weight. Midway through the year, this leaves me feeling frustrated which subsequently kills my attendance and my bank balance. Nobody can see you doing Breaking Ballet. You are not judged, unlike at the gym where I feel very self-conscious at all times. Breaking Ballet has done so much for my life, as has Sarah’s health advice. Sarah is an inspiration. I could not imagine a single person subscribing to Breaking Ballet and not reaping massive benefits. I’m only sorry I did not discover it sooner.”

We are all human and we need to be kinder to ourselves when things don’t quite go to plan. One of the main reasons people don’t see results is because they quit too soon before they had the chance to achieve their goals.
This can happen because we have started well and set the bar high. When we have an off day (which we ALL do), we tell ourselves we are no good, we don’t have the willpower, we are never going to achieve what we want because we can’t stick at it. So we stop altogether. To spare ourselves inevitable failure (as we see it).
This is where we go wrong. It is not an “all or nothing” approach that is going to work for the vast majority of us busy women. We need to take a “something always” approach and keep moving forwards.
This video talks about how we can change that mindset and apply it to anything, including exercise and healthy eating.
With so many benefits – including, increased range of movement, improved posture, prevention of muscles soreness and prevention of injury – stretching should be a key part of our fitness regime. Ideally, we would stretch every day but at the very least we should aim to be stretching our ‘tight’ spots as often as we can. By stretching you will learn a lot about your body (where you are tight, if there are any imbalances in the body and which stretches you find most beneficial). Enjoy and remember to relax and breathe.
This guided hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you if you lack willpower when it comes to exercise (so that’s everyone, right?!).

“After 5 children, my abs are stronger than they have ever been. I have struggled with being overweight most of my life and for the first time I’m actually seeing a bit of definition in my abs! That has never happened before. Breaking Ballet has also made me become much more aware of my posture. In turn, some low back pain and sciatica that I have experienced in the past have both decreased.”

This course is self-study and can be done any time. You can start when you feel ready, do just 10-15 minutes of exercise a day and repeat the programme as many times as you like.
You can start whenever you like!
It is important to exercise safely (possibly under supervision by an instructor) during pregnancy, especially if you are considering a new type of exercise. Due to the online nature of these workouts, it is not advisable to join while pregnant. Some of the floor work is done reclining on your back and ladies in their second and third trimesters should not be in this position. It would be better to find a local class with an experienced instructor who can monitor you while exercising, to be safe.
It is advisable to wait at least 3 months postpartum before starting a new fitness regime. Special care must be taken regarding the type of exercise you do, especially the type and intensity of abdominal exercises, due to the changes in the abdominal wall and pelvis. Sometimes during pregnancy there is a separation of the Linea Alba (the central line between the Rectus Abdominis muscles) causing a condition called diastasis recti.
So you MUST see your GP BEFORE starting a new activity in the 3 months after childbirth.
You should consult with a general practitioner before beginning any exercise, fitness, or nutrition regime, especially if you are pregnant, or have pre-existing health conditions. Your use of the videos inside BBackstage and performance of these exercises is solely at your own risk.
Due to the digital nature of this course, all sales are final.
I’ve worked with all kinds of women, from different backgrounds and different fitness levels and I know the impact that this kind of programme and exercise regime can have on your life.
I know what increased balance can do, mentally and pysically. I know how higher levels of confidence and self-love can change your life.
I know how sustainable, consistent workouts can impact your life.
And I want that for you… Do you?
