At The London Method, you’ll find all the moves that spawned the “Barre Craze” of today. There was ONLY one Lotte Berk, and in this method you'll find the exact moves she used to train the elite of London and America back in the day. The TRUE Lotte Berk technique pulls in your waist, hips and thighs -- what girl wouldn’t want that? Lotte believed whatever your shape may be, this method of exercise

It’s & I have a question for you. Do you practice “Top of the Thigh” in your Barre work? It’s the move where you lift 1 leg up in the air & strengthen the front/top side of the thigh while lengthening the backside.

The section is very QUICK (you only really need to do it 1.5 minutes to see results), but it’s also so very SLOW at the same time. Your upper body never changes. Your core remains stable, chest open, shoulders down & arm with a slight bend remans lifted out to the side.

Something changes deep inside YOU when you practice this move on the regular. You begin to hold your head higher, you walk through the world w/ a new found confidence that only truly happens when your mind & body connect, finally seeing yourself as one whole unit.

If you look closely at these photos you can visually see a difference. It’s subtle, but it’s deep. It’s something that is hard to put into words. When I first found this work I didn’t lose weight (it wasn’t about that), but I miraculously did drop two sizes in my clothes. It was a shift in mass, but also in awareness as well.

Join me next Friday as I dive deeper into this phenomenon that 11 years later still fascinates me! I feel so grateful that I finally have the time to focus on WHY it works & share it with you all!

Meet me on Substack:

NOON Friday May 29th

I’ll pop on here real quick as a lil reminder as well, but set your calendars so you don’t miss the chat! It’s all about the CONFIDENCE that you gain from practicing this work, specifically focusing on “Top of the THIGH”

Can’t wait to explore more w/ YOU all!

So crazy. Before even looking through photo options to post for today, I had this strong feeling this was the exact day we first spent Mother’s Day (the American one 😉) in England with Esther (May 10th, 2015).

My mom was there too, which made it extra special because we were all able to celebrate the evening together. Being a mom, especially to two boys, was something Esther and I always deeply connected over.

There were so many synchronicities when I was first discovering this work. I finished Esther’s book, My Improper Mother & Me, on November 4, 2014… the exact date her mother, Lotte Berk had passed in 2003.

I still remember reading that date on the last page, immediately looking at my phone to make sure it really was November 4th that day… I closed THAT book as fast as the kid in The NeverEnding Story &!this feeling of disbelief came over my entire body.

Some moments in life feel a little too aligned to ignore. I learned early on that there are no coincidences, we are all here to learn valuable lessons from one another, and when your intuition is telling you something… YOU better LISTEN to it.

It is that line of thinking that allowed me to get on that ✈️ all those years ago, to learn a technique that would forever change my life, & meet a woman I would never forget!

Feel so grateful to be my Mom’s daughter & that we both were able to learn so much from the one & only, the legendary !

Happy Mama’s Day to everyone celebrating it out there ❤️‍🩹🥂🩶✨❤️!

Next week we dive into “Top of Thigh” & talk about how it relates to CONFIDENCE.

Excited to share more w/ YOU soon!

What a perfect way to spend 🩶. April was always a month where the OG crew would gather together to celebrate the work we loved so much.

Bonding over the moves that launched the entire industry of BARRE is something we will all never forget.

Friendships were made, lessons were learned, & big hugs were given every time we had to leave each other.

Do you know about the OG Barre work?! How it all began w/ moves like Hello Sailor, Pluto Snuffles, Inside/Out, & Tarts Position?!!
