Inspired by ballet exercises and functional fitness training, these Barre workouts integrate coordination, balance, and breath with precise low-impact movements to build strength, stability, and endurance, and to develop body awareness and control.  The routines target all areas, working arms, legs, core, and glutes to promote long, strong muscle while improving mobility, alignment, and posture.  The constant conscious movement, which challenges the body without overload, supports hormonal balance, regulating stress and reducing cortisol.  The sessions flow with intention and focus, creating a supportive environment that invites us to connect with our bodies, cultivate presence, and feel empowered in nurturing our wellbeing. Classes follow a clear structure–warm-up, main routine, and cool-down–with the strong beat of electronic music marking the rhythm and keeping our energy up.  All levels are welcome; Adriana will guide modifications and progressions so that each person can be safe and confident no matter their abilities or needs.  Classes may incorporate weights, resistance bands, exercise balls or sliders to support muscle activation and control while maintaining fluid movement.  Participants may be barefoot or wear socks; please bring a mat for certain floor exercises.  In the space there are mats for rent for ₡1,000, mats for sale for ₡10,000, and blocks and props free to use.  ​

Shakti is the cosmic energy that creates and changes the universe; it is the divine feminine force.  This workshop is designed to activate our Shakti, to awaken our inner wisdom and tap into our latent power.  We’ll explore a variety of dance styles in this mindful practice based on Yoga Asana, rooting into awareness of our bodies, minds, and emotions.  Patricia will guide our movement to open the pranic currents, encouraging Shakti’s creative and intelligent flow, and balancing the chakras, and she will support us to move intuitively and find a centered state of meditation in the dance.
