The Foundational Method, Part 1
The Foundational Method is the method I created for Barre Eclipse. It is a tried and true system that gives instructors the structure to create amazing classes, every time.
Following our Foundational Method (which you learn in our teacher training course) means I already have the outline of an effective, badass workout, so all I have to do is add my flavor on top of it. Queue up my playlist (that's a whole 'nother lecture) and start to move my body to create my sequence (don't get me wrong — it usually takes a few hours to finish creating a class)!
