Day 1 — AFB Barre Teacher Training Foundation Course with teim™
We are pleased to introduce a comprehensive One-Day Barre Foundations Course at A Fine Balance, hosted by Lizzie Bland from teim™.
Lizzie Bland is a UK-based teacher and educator with over 20 years of experience in the dance and fitness industry. She is best known as the founder of Lean Bean Fitness in Australia and now leads her Teacher Training and Events platform, teim™ (Training and Events in Movement).
This highly regarded Barre Course draws on the original Lotte Berk Method, alongside influences from Pilates, yoga, ballet, and strength and conditioning techniques. It is designed to equip instructors with the knowledge and confidence to deliver classes that are effective, engaging, and consistently high quality.
This practical one-day foundations course is ideal for those looking to upskill, expand their teaching repertoire, or incorporate barre into their existing offering.
Course Content Includes:
• Foundations of Barre
• Key and recurrent Barre exercises
• Class planning and effective flow
• Introduction to equipment
• The teim™ Barre Bible, including framework, exercises, and class plans
Prerequisites
Applicants should hold a qualification in one or more of the following:
• Yoga (200 hours+)
• Mat Pilates
• Reformer Pilates
• Barre
• Dance
• Exercise to Music
Alongside the in-person workshop, trainees are encouraged to attend regular Barre classes and/or complete online practice classes.
This is a Foundations-level course designed as a comprehensive introduction to Barre within an immersive one-day training. For many, it’s the perfect starting point to begin teaching.
If you’re looking to build deeper confidence and further develop your sequencing and class planning, we’d recommend progressing onto the teim™ Stage 2 Extensions course, alongside regular class attendance and practice teaching.
The training is widely recognised across studios in the UK and Australia (currently in its pre-accreditation phase), and you’ll receive a teim™ Barre Teacher Training Foundations Certificate upon completion.
