Barre workouts weren’t a popular thing when Rosa was starting her fitness studio. But she imagined a new style of training that centers around her trusted barre while leaving behind the intimidating (yet typical) body focus associated with dance conditioning.

Now her gorgeous coastal studio in New Zealand welcomes anyone who is looking to move with strength and freedom. She has a particular desire to empower students who may have felt left out of athletics earlier in their lives and felt that movement wasn’t for them.  

Her own brand of barre classes has evolved as the years have progressed. Her original workouts have been shaped by feedback from her members and the incredible instructors who’ve been an integral part of her journey.
