Barre exercise class for employees begins Friday

The Faculty & Staff Wellness Program at Western Washington University has a new, mid-quarter offering that begins Friday. Cyndie Shepard will be teaching a barre exercise class.

Barre exercise is a class adapted from classical ballet barre exercises designed to strengthen the body and develop long term postural benefits, a strong core, muscle balance and increased flexibility.

The class is 50 minutes, and no experience is required. Attendees should wear yoga-like attire or leotards/tights. Socks or bare feet are appropriate. Please bring a water bottle. And prepare to have fun!

The class costs $25 and will take place in Carver Gym D from noon to 1 p.m. on Fridays (May 9, 16 and 23 and June 6 and 13).
