[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was thinking of checking out classes in my closest studio in D.C. because I'm familiar with the science behind isometric exercise and strength. That's appealing.

However I've hesitated because I'm afraid of being enveloped in a cult of disordered body image and orthotexia.  Is the extreme navel (ass) gazing evident on this thread representative of a typical barre studio?  Do the teachers unwittingly encourage this kind of obsession over every quarter inch change in appearance?

Maybe the paid subscription at home is the answer but it sounds like you should attend a few classes to confirm correct posture first?[/quote]

Well, the website flat out says that they focus on areas "women struggle with the most" and want to build "long, lean muscles without bulk" (the horror of bulk!) https://purebarre.com/technique/

To me, that's a complete turn off.  I'm sure it's a reasonably effective way to build strength, and I know many women who love it, but that's way too retrograde an attitude for me.[/quote]
