Barre, a series of minuscule, punishing exercises which mix pilates, ballet, and yoga, is the global fitness phenomenon of the 2020s, but its history is complicated and controversial. Lotte Berk, a Jewish dancer who fled Nazi Germany for London, found herself out of work and developed the technique to maintain her dancer's body. In her classes she encouraged women to have better sex, with positions called The Prostitute, Naughty Bottoms and The Sex. Her clientele included Joan Collins, Pru Leith and Edna O'Brien. Eventually she sold the rights to her workout, and barre evolved into a sanitised and lucrative segment of the fitness industry with its sexual empowerment message diluted. Musician and broadcaster Nadine Shah, battling a bereavement and gearing up for her first tour in two years, feels the need for exercise and is captivated by the story of Lotte and her Technique. With the help of her daughter Esther, who still taught her mother's method into her 80s, Nadine goes in search of Barre's erotic spark, and so begins a story of love, sex, feminism and striving to feel good in your body.

Were you taught that you always had to stretch before any type of physical activity? Your sports teacher might have stood at the front of the class demonstrating while you followed along holding the stretch, pushing your muscles a little bit deeper with every breath. For a long time it was thought that stretching before exercise prevented injury and muscle soreness, but the advice around stretching has changed dramatically. Gab and Sarah explain the difference between static and dynamic stretching, and the best way to prepare your body for exercise.

Kelly is a BASI Certified Pilates instructor who became a Master Teacher trainer in Barre after falling in love with the method. Her research led her to England to train with the only daughter of Lotte Berk, Esther Fairfax. During this training, Kelly was able to heal her own body & as a result found that her waist, hips, and thighs had narrowed between 1-2 inches after practicing the exercises that Esther taught her. Esther Fairfax was 81 years old at the time & the strongest, fittest woman Kelly had ever met. Kelly began sharing the technique with other women & found that what Esther had taught her was like a formula, they were ALL losing at least 1-2 inches in each area of their bodies while gaining strength in their core as they had never seen before. When theLONDONmethod launched online, it sold in over 14 countries. Now clients all over the world are able to receive the back healing, body lengthening, hip strengthening benefits that Kelly & her team have seen hundreds of women benefit from. Kelly is extraordinarily passionate about sharing the story of the ORIGINAL technique & can be found on Podcasts such as “Climbing the Ladder in Heels”, speaking about & sharing the technique at Summits & Conferences all over the country, as well as guest teaching the ORIGINAL class at fitness studios everywhere. http://www.thelondonmethod.net/ (www.theLONDONmethod.net)  https://www.instagram.com/thelondonmethod/ (https://www.instagram.com/thelondonmethod/)  https://www.facebook.com/TheLondonMethod (https://www.facebook.com/TheLondonMethod) https://www.instagram.com/thelondonmethod/ (https://www.instagram.com/thelondonmethod/) About the Host: Blair Kaplan Venables is an expert in social media marketing and the president of Blair Kaplan Communications, a British Columbia-based PR agency.
