30-Minute Barre Workout to Recenter Your Mind and Body

Join fitness and meditation instructor Nikki Nie for a special workout that is just as much a work in as a workout, in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month. This 30-minute barre routine focuses on recentering your mind and body, so you’ll be sure to stop and take some deep breaths throughout. You’ll start with a quick warmup that will get your body moving and jump right into barre-inspired moves like pliés, battements, and so much more! Nie also incorporates a little cardio to get your heart rate up with a series of small jumps. Feel free to take off your shoes if you’d like to feel more connected to the ground and your surroundings. Press play and join Nie and class members Leilani Terris and Cherie AbuMoussa for a series of exercises to help you feel at ease and release any tension, anxiety, or stress.

Wow! That's one of the best workouts that I've tried so far on this channel! I could feel the authenticity and support of Nikki as well as her calmness and joy at the same time! I'm impressed ! Thank you Nikki and the team! I'd love to see more workouts like this here :)
Not to mention that it's the first time I've burst in tears after the first plié exercise for no reason.
I really felt connected to Nikki, I appreciate her a lot!
