Hi Beauties!
I've been working exclusively from home for the last couple of weeks and while I am loving the extra time in my day to spend with the kids or even just drink a tea and relax, I am finding that my back and upper body is SO TIGHT and tense! I'm no longer working at my standing desk in our SoHo studio and even though I have a desk set up at home, I'm finding that a lot of days I am working wherever I can squeeze it in - from my phone in one of the kids room, my bedroom, basically wherever and whenever I can get it done! The end result of this nontraditional workplace structure along with the added stress of current events has left my back, neck and shoulders ultra tight, and I am guessing I'm not alone.
I hope you guys will use and love this mini stretch tutorial that I created (pre quarantine) to let all of that tension and tightness in the upper body go. These stretches can be done multiple times per day or once a day in the middle of your work day to break things up.
Please feel free to share this tutorial with anyone in your life who could use a little extra stretching and relaxation! Finally, I want to remind you all of how much we appreciate your support of Ballet Beautiful and want to be there for you, now more than ever!
xoxo
Mary Helen

Hi Mary Helen,
Thank you for your this video reminder. You make videos that are in perfect time lengths for all time constraints. Your videos are clear, concise, graceful, and highly effective. I love that they mostly really challenging, a graacful elelgant workout...that is transforming my body....I was already very fit, but this ballet dance fitness has made my body stronger, prettier, mcuh more fexible and fluid. I was fit, but I my muscles were always so stiff...felt old!!! I know feel fluid, firm, elegant...gracful like the ballet dancer I always wanted to be!! I am 45, work in Film and real estate, former model and hip hop dancer!!!... with 2 teenage sons....THANK YOU. I did not want to attend another unsafe high energy Pure Barre class, and not get the results that I desired...yes, I was firm, but not flexible, my mucles were bulky and your workouts are so uplifting, challenginf and graceful..... I can't sing your praises enough. I love your inspring piano music, your cool NYC loft studios (I am from London/Live in Malibu).....and you are so sweet, and encouraging and youre body is stunning, strong, supple, powerful. SUch an inspiration. No need for Boot camps and unsafe fast whiplash movements. Your program, had made me a stronger dancer too. THANK YOU.
