FAQs

How does the workout differ from traditional studio exercise regimes?

Pilates mat work is largely performed on the floor in various positions. In a BarreConcept class, around three quarters of the class is done standing up. At least half of the class exercises are performed at the barre itself. Yoga focuses on holding a position for a certain period of time, whilst concentrating on the breathing.

Pilates tends not to hold a position but instead goes for a specific number of full range repetitions. In a BarreConcept class, we not only go for full range repetitions but we also hold a position for a limited time period. However, the BarreConcept repetitions go one step further by focusing on tiny, small range isometric contractions in addition to the traditional Pilates and Yoga approach and that is where it differs from other mind body exercise regimes.

"The course content was invaluable to my teaching repertoire"

"I just finished a course with Emma in Dublin on BarreConcept and I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed a course so much. The course content was invaluable to my teaching repertoire, the days were filled with original and unique teaching methods, which were delivered in a fun, easy to understand manner and Emma was professional and empathetic to every one of us in training."

"The videos are brilliantly demonstrated and I've gained so much knowledge”

"Just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed the Pilates Mat course. The videos are brilliantly demonstrated and I've gained so much knowledge about teaching from you. I'm a sports massage therapist so teaching is not a skill I've needed to develop and I've been a bit apprehensive about it, but your style of teaching has been a huge encouragement. "

“Thank you for such clear and detailed instructions and videos”

"I am currently working through your Mat Pilates course and I just wanted to say thank you for such clear and detailed instructions and videos. I did a Pilates course a long time ago but never did my exam, but incorporate elements of Pilates exercises in other fitness classes I teach. The course has been a great refresher and also introduction to new exercises and explanations of why the exercises are done. "
