Adrienne Rabena | Barre Classes + Certification

Heyyyy babe, welcome to my body affirming corner on Insta✨ Here I create a nourishing space where you can feel graceful and powerful without the pressure to change your look or adhere to whatever aesthetic is trending. Body fads come and go (esp for women) but I’m more interested in sharing timeless body wisdom, words, and workouts that *truly* empower you to feel better about being YOU. I’m Adrienne — you might know me from me from Alo Moves, PopSugar Fitness, or SELF mag? I’ve taught barre and yoga for over a decade. I’ve owned studios and led retreats. I am a certified nutrition consultant and I’ve done the high-profile-teaching-gigs-thing that most yoga and fitness instructors strive to do. I overcame an eating disorder in my early 20s and have been an activist for healthy perspectives on fitness and food ever since. In 2020, I co-founded an app with my husband called Barre Eclipse. It shares 400+ on-demand workouts that are intense and amazing and produced with the highest quality. I lead virtual live Barre Hour classes, host workshops and facilitate our community! And YEA! I have an online barre teacher training course where I’ve certified over 700 instructors representing 37+ countries to teach barre. It’s the “Harvard of barre school,” and generates incredible instructors from a wide array of cultures. We also JUST launched our business partner program for studios, gyms and fitness centers to start and thrive with their own body affirming barre programs and make a positive impact on the fitness world from the grass roots level. If you’re interested in any of the above, or you just want to feel better in the skin you’re in — you’re in the right spot. I’m very active on IG so drop me a comment or DM if you have any questions! Okay, my monologue is over now. Tell me about YOU👇🏼 If you’ve been here a while, I see you and deeply appreciate you. Maybe share how Barre Eclipse has impacted your life for the newcomers?

If you’re exhausted by the endless pressure to slim here, sculpt there, grow that and shrink this… if you see straight through the “calorie deficit” bullshiz and you feel *in your soul* how the pursuit of body perfection not only holds you back from your full power but also perpetuates toxic self talk and upholds systems of oppression… Then I’d love to welcome you home to my community we call Barre Eclipse 🌙 It’s an easy place to BE fully you, where empowering language and knowing your inherent wholeness is the default way of being. We don’t talk about changing our bodies, but we do talk about changing the CULTURE and it liberates us to funnel our energy in ways that feel more meaningful in every moment while giving us back our time so we can actually make a difference in the world. This refuge is home to workouts that refuel our empowerment and find compassion for ourselves because it chips away every time we internalize a reel on ‘how to get flat abs’ or the ‘tricks to tone up’ or ‘hidden muscles that lift your glutes.’ They know that if you are so caught up with how you look you might not be heard or seen at all…. But here… we take up space. Consciously. Proudly. We allow ourselves to BE. If you made it to the end of this, you’re ready for a breath air and I’m so happy this message found you. Welcome to our body affirming corner of the internet. #affirmations #barre #pilates #bodynuetrality

People compare our app to the most prominent fitness brands, which is a huge compliment because it’s just me and Eric creating over here! When you choose our app, you might not know it, but you’re choosing to support a small woman and POC-owned company. We didn’t start with money or a trust fund. We started with good ol’ fashion sweat equity and a dream to make the fitness world a better place, ha! We don’t have investors; we have YOU, and you are the voice behind our decisions. We listen to your requests and feedback, especially if you’ve been subscribed for a while. We read *every* comment and respond to every message. We prioritize how our community *feels* instead of following the latest trends or popular faces. We keep evolving and co-creating the barre eclipse landscape with you, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. What makes us different is that this is not just a disposable *job* to us. We’re not in some unreachable corporate office making top-down decisions. This is our livelihood. Our work is personal and self-expressive. We’re on the ground right beside you every day. So thank you, Barre Eclipse fam, for shopping small. We are so deeply grateful for your support. There’s just a few more days to save 30% on the Yearly Pass - start your trial if you’re ready to join our body affirming barre movement. #barreworkout #lowimpactmovement #smallbusinesssaturday #femalefounders #pilates

One result you should always track: how you *feel* about being you. Do you feel guilty if you don’t workout? Constantly feeling like you “should” be doing more or eating better or working harder for “results?” Are you always feeling “behind” in your workout routine?? These are all common of being hooked by diet and fitness culture. Something as amazing and nourishing as a workout turns into a place of self criticism, judgment, and pushing “harder” so we can be more like whatever is trending. But it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re craving true contentment and satisfaction with your life so you can worry less about what you’re NOT and focus on all that you ARE, I’d love to invite you to our Barre Eclipse Community. I’m hosting a ✨free✨ 7 Day Barre Eclipse Body Challenge from Nov 28 - Dec 5. All classes are on demand so you can go at your own pace. It will give you the taste of a fiery, effective workout and the glowing body affirming results that come with. Want to join us? We start this Thursday! Check it out and sign up in my bio💗 #barre #pilates #armworkoutsforwomen #anatomystudy
