About me.
I’m Tamara Palaganas.
It's my mission to make wellness fun, accessible, and uncomplicated! I provide Barre Fitness Classes and Wellness Coaching. Creating a space that is safe and inclusive is my top priority.
This is the place for you if:
-You feel intimidated and uncomfortable going to the gym.
-Gone to a studio class excited to be there, then realized you are the "only" (fill in the blank). And that did not feel great or safe.
-Need a convenient way to add more movement to your life.
-Want a safe space where you are already enough and are welcome to show up just as you are. (However, please wear clothes if you are on Zoom. Ha! Thank you!)
-Want to be in a community that takes your needs seriously but does it through playfulness. Because it's too hard if you can't laugh while doing something outside of you comfort zone.
PLEASE NOTE: as of Oct. 2023 I will no longer be offering Barre Fitness classes. I am going in another I direction in my business. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Barre Fitness Classes
This class is based on the classic Lotte Berk barre method, which uses a wide range of movements as well as isometric holds to create change in the muscle. The result is a workout that builds muscle endurance through resistance training that is easy on joints, tendons, and ligaments. Barre is perfect for all levels of fitness, from beginners to advanced.
In this class, you will work your core, upper body, lower body, and back. Our workout ends with a cool-down and stretches for recovery.
Classes are streamed via Zoom and are limited to 10 students per class. Booking your class at least a day ahead is highly encouraged. (You can put it on your calendar. See it. And look forward to it. Boom!)
You are encouraged (not required) to make yourself visible during class. Why? Because these classes are designed for you to get the most out of your time in class. I love seeing my student’s faces, and I want to be able to support you by being able to offer suggestions that allow you to fine-tune your technique—making the class more fun for you and keeping you safe at the same time.
Private Barre Training is also available. Use the contact link to inquire.
