Barre & Dance: A Spring Workshop

Celebrate the first full day of spring with movement.

March 21st marks the beginning of the new season. After the stillness of winter, this 3-hour workshop is an invitation to bloom: find your center, and start spring with a sense of strength, flow, and community. Let’s move into spring together.

This afternoon will be a journey from the focused strength of the barre to the expressive energy of dance, followed by shared tea and conversation.

Strength & Stability - Barre

We begin at the barre with a deep focus on core stability and leg power to build heat and precision. By waking up the deep muscles of the core and strengthening the legs, you create the stable "roots" necessary to move with confidence and grace.

Expression & Flow - Dance

You will learn original modern dance choreography prepared specifically for this workshop. This is where we put our strength into motion - focusing on expansive movements, musicality, and the joy of dance.

Community & Tea

We will close the afternoon with tea and a light chat. This is a chance to connect with your fellow dancers, meet the teachers, and enjoy the community spirit that makes movement so special.

• When: Saturday, 21 March | 13:00 – 16:00 (+ tea afterwards)

Past events

This winter season, we took a moment to give ourselves the gift of presence.

On Thursday, December 11th 2025 and Friday, February 6th 2026 our cozy studio was transformed for a special Candlelight Relax & Restore session.

It was a magical evening of gentle, restorative movement designed to soothe the nervous system and cultivate flow. We ended the practice with a deeply immersive guided meditation, accompanied by the sounds of singing bowls—all while bathed in the warm, soft glow of candlelight.

It was a beautiful invitation to slow down, recharge, and honour the need for rest during this busy season. We finished the night with warm tea and heartfelt conversation. Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their energy!

Notes from our Community

”This evening was exceptionally well prepared. The atmosphere was a true cocoon-like space: comforting candles, delicate essential oils, and accessible yoga. The Tibetan singing bowl concert was profoundly relaxing, allowing me to experience moments of deep disconnection and almost instantaneous rest. Time seemed to slow down, and my body and mind could truly let go. This was without a doubt the most beautiful, nourishing experience. Thank you, Marta!.”

Feel Good Morning at Strandbad Dorfmeilen

A morning of movement and joyful surprises:

• 45-min stretch & journaling

• 60-min Barre class

• Lottery draw

Our Feel Good Morning on Sunday 24.08.2025 at the Badi was a truly special gathering.

Over 30 people joined us for a peaceful morning of gentle stretching, thoughtful journaling, and a lively barre class that got everyone glowing. The lottery at the end brought smiles and a bit of extra fun.

Held in the lovely open setting of the Strandbad Dorfmeilen, it was a warm, joyful day of connection, fun, and shared energy that left us all feeling uplifted.

Notes from our Community

”What a beautiful morning. The mix of peaceful stretching, journaling, and an energizing Barre class by the water felt like a mini-retreat. The vibe was so welcoming, and the lottery at the end was the cherry on top. This event actually inspired me to start a new daily habit—I’ve committed to moving every morning now because of how amazing this experience made me feel.”

”Liebe Marta und Team

Der Feel Good Morning im Sommer 2025 mit euch in der Badi Meilen war echt ein Highlight!

Sonne, eure strahlenden Gesichter und beste Anleitung für die einzelnen Körperübungen mit dezenter Musik gaben diesem Event den perfekten Rahmen. Das Barre Workout war für mich neu und die fliessenden Bewegungen erforderten Stabilität in den Haltepositionen und für diese wurde die Tiefenmuskulatur angeregt. Eine ruhige und doch tiefenwirksame Art der körperlichen Betätigung, die im oft so hektischen Alltag den passenden Ausgleich gibt. Eine tolle Combi.

Liebe Grüsse und danke nochmals für dieses grosszügige Angebot."
