Awaken Barre
MOST WORKOUTS WERE NEVER DESIGNED FOR A PERIMENOPAUSAL BODY
The Awaken Barre programme is four weeks of low-impact Barre, 20 minutes a day, using just a mat and a chair.

SCHEDULE“What a challenge, using muscles I forgot I had and that other workouts don't target. I loved the 20-minute courses, so doable.”
Something shifts
in your forties
When perimenopause hits, the workouts that always worked stop delivering — and it is not obvious why.
"Trying harder was never going to fix this. The approach was wrong from the start. And nothing about that is your fault."
Chrissy — Your Midlife Movement Expert
The programme is designed to suit your schedule
There is a different way to move in midlife, not less ambitious but more intelligent.
Here is the Awaken Barre approach
More effort doesn't equal better results
Barre Technique
Precision movement that builds a strong, feminine physique today and the strength you need for the next chapter.
Created for Midlife
Built around how a perimenopausal body needs to train: supporting hormones, joints, sleep and energy.
Strength Training
Deep, functional strength that supports posture, muscle mass and your longevity.
Short Sessions
20 minutes done consistently and with focus is all you need.
Awaken Barre = Intelligent Transformation
By the end of the 4-week programme you will have created a new wellness habit.
| Weeks 1–2 | Weeks 3–4 |
|---|---|
| Feel more energised after sessions | Improved strength and posture |
| Less stiffness and tension through the body | Clearer head, calmer nervous system |
| Movement that fits the day you are actually having | More settled, restorative sleep |
"I have more strength than I realised, and the positive energy I have when completed is fantastic!"

"I loved the variety of each of the sessions every week, and the ease with which it could be fitted into my schedule if I diarised it. There is also just something very unique and special about Chrissy's delivery style."

You Don't Need to Be Fit to Start
This is probably the question we get asked most. You don't need to be fit before you join.
The programme is designed to build your strength gradually — you start where you are, progress at your own pace, and every workout includes options so you can make it work for your body on that day.
There is no keeping up or falling behind here. Pick up where you left off, repeat your favourites, or take a break and return.
And you don't need an hour a day to start feeling stronger. Consistency beats perfection every time.
I created Awaken Barre because I needed it myself
As a trainer, a former professional dancer, and a woman navigating perimenopause, I spent years applying the same approaches and watching them stop working. The shift came when I stopped asking my body to perform the way it used to, and started asking what it actually needed.
I'm a Barre & Pilates master trainer, Yogi, dancer, choreographer & wellness expert. With 25+ years experience, my expert guidance will help you feel like yourself again, bringing a sense of reassurance and fun from your very first session and throughout the Awaken Barre programme.
"LOVE these workouts, who knew you could work so hard and effectively in 20 short minutes."
The shift women feel
A return to yourself.
