The Pilates Barre has been named Studio of the Month by lululemon athletica, a yoga-inspired athletic apparel company. The two will visit each other’s locations to spread the word about empowerment through fitness. First, at 7:00pm on Wednesday April 11th, The Pilates Barre instructors will teach a special fusion class in the lululemon athletica store located at 91 Main Street in Westport. This one-hour session is open to the public and will borrow from the disciplines of both Pilates and Barre technique to provide a total-body workout. Then, on Sunday, April 29th, from 3-5pm, members of the general public are invited to a rare trunk show with lululemon athletica at The Pilates Barre on Prospect Street. In addition, fitness enthusiasts are invited to observe special small group classes in authentic Barre technique, Pilates on the apparatus, and Studio Cycling as they browse the apparel. “We’re honored to have been named Studio of the Month,” says Sharon McSpedon, director of The Pilates Barre and a 27-year veteran of the fitness industry. “We believe in using fitness to find inner empowerment. Our clients are serious about their fitness – they like to learn about the way they move, improve it and have a little fun while they do it.”
