This Saturday, October 26th, treat yourself in the lobby with a pop-up from Gi's Sweets! 🍬🍫

At Babylon Barre, we believe in holistic wellness and nurturing a balanced lifestyle, which includes eating the foods you love while also prioritizing self-care. Gi's Sweets, a local small business, will be in the lobby selling chocolate covered sweets (including vegan and gluten free options) from 8:30am-10:30am. Stop by as a reminder that you deserve to treat yourself! 🥰

Get to know our incredible staff! 🤗 From time to time, we like to highlight our team so you can get to know them better. Next time you see them at the studio, please introduce yourself. Our team LOVES getting to know our community! 🤩

Next up is Meghan H! We asked her some fun questions, get to know her better below!

💖 What is the number 1 reason you like to work out/move your body? I love to show up on my mat and move my body to release stress, clear my mind, and find inner peace! It sets the tone for my day and allows me to unwind!

💖 What is your favorite class to teach? Core Yoga

💖 What is your best advice to someone just starting their fitness journey? My best advice to someone just starting their fitness journey is something I wish I realized sooner myself: don’t compare yourself to the person next to you. One of my favorite quotes by Jon Acuff says, “Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle, or your middle to someone else's end.” Everyone is on their own path and day to day will look different along your journey. Meet yourself where you are that day and avoid pushing past your limits. Rather, play with the edges and challenge yourself, but listen to your body when it also calls for rest. Know that it’s okay to ease out, slow down, or take a child’s pose; sometimes that’s what your body needs. If you’re constantly comparing yourself to others, you may never be satisfied with your own work. Own where you are in your journey, take time to embrace and celebrate that, and keep moving forward!

💖 What is Your Favorite thing about the Babylon Barre community? The support from one another in the studio. Everyone is here for the same reasons; to help uplift one another and create a safe environment for students and teachers alike to join together, share space, move their bodies, and find connection.

💖 Share 1 fun fact about yourself: For fun, I love to dance and try new dances from jazz to ballroom to tap. When dancing, I feel most carefree and focused, not thinking of or distracted by anything else. My favorite dance since I was a child is Irish step dancing, which I still do today!

💖 What is your guilty pleasure? My guilty pleasure is watching bad reality TV shows with my girlfriends!

MINOR schedule changes ahead!

Starting Sunday 10/27, Meghan H will be taking over the Sunday morning Reformer classes (you can still catch Tracey for her weekday morning classes, don’t worry!). Now, Classic Reformer will be meeting at 8:30am, and Reformer Stretch will be meeting at 9:30am.

The following changes to the Monday morning schedule will take effect 10/28:
🌟 Liz’s Barre 45 will move from 6am TO 7am
🌟 Caitlin’s 8am Barre will become 8:15-8:45am Core Strength 30
🌟 Cardio Barre will move from 9:15 to 9am
🌟 Carly’s Pilates Flow will now start at 10am, not 10:05.

(You can start booking these classes over the weekend once our new system is up and running!)

We will see you at the barre!
