Methodology
The Total Barre® Foundation Course provides the groundwork for instructors, enabling them to produce safe, effective and varied programs that address the needs and goals of every client. Drawing from the diverse backgrounds of their instructor-base, the Merrithew™ team have created this program which will equip instructors with the knowledge and confidence to design and teach highly evolved standing fitness classes in any setting.
Format - 11 Segments
The Level 1 Foundation Course presents 11 specially arranged and selected segments to serve as the template for each session or class. Each Total Barre® class follows this template; however, the specific programming and exercises are determined by the instructor to address class requirements and objectives. Segments are accompanied by timed selections of music, each at a designated pace. The 11 segments focus on individual areas of the body or movement types and when combined, produce a balanced and complete workout.
Online Resource
Each of the segments from the Foundation Course have been filmed and are posted online in a secure area of Merrithew.com. All course participants will be given access to these great visual resources as Moira Merrithew walks you through the choreography with and without music.
Template Benefits
This simple template is instrumental in assisting instructors to teach well structured, systematised Barre classes. Once the basic format is presented, instructors are taught strategies allowing them to progress clients by modifying the primary exercises, creating new variations of those exercises or altering the pace through the accompanying music. Instructors develop awareness to closely monitor the performance of their clients through the understanding of how to modify or vary the exercises when necessary by adding props to the movements or altering the rhythm, of the music used.
Six Principles
Participants are also introduced to the Total Barre Principles - six movement awareness fundamentals that provide the structure and bio-mechanical basis for each exercise. During the course, participants have the opportunity to experience the movements before examining the application of the principles and learn the essence of each exercise along with the theories of dynamic stability, optimal mobility and movement efficiency.
Additional Concepts
Programming and exercise choice for each Total Barre class focuses on exercise progressions, movement form and efficiency, and the importance of cueing with music for movement quality. Additional concepts are explored - including the value of cardio-based intervals within a program, suggestions on themes of workouts or programs geared toward specific fitness goals - to add variety and meet the needs of a wide range of clientele. Expertly crafted Total Barre will leave clients feeling energised, invigorated and delighted, improving fitness and quality of life, while helping them avoid injury.
