Whether you're brand new to The English Method or craving a back-to-basics refresh, this class is where your movement journey begins. We’ll focus on clean alignment, intentional muscle activation, and building real connection between your mind and body.

This class walks you through all of the details of an English Method class. From what weights to use & combinations at the barre to where the laundry bins are - this is your time to ask questions and build confidence before your first English Method class.

The English Method 1 & 2

The English Method 1: Foundations

WEEK 1. Rooted deeply in ballet technique & Pilates, The English Method is known as the most ballet-based barre workout out there—no prior dance experience needed, just a little coordination and curiosity. The class evolves every two weeks, progressively building in challenge from week 1 to week 2. We ALWAYS recommend taking the IllumeLab Intro before starting The English Method.

English Method I is the first week of a class cycle. We will go through combinations, form, and intention to ensure you are ready for week 2.  The class structure moves you through warm up, barre exercises, mat pilates, & finishes with a short stretch and aromatherapy moment. Leaving you balanced, strong, and recharged.

The English Method 2: Elevé

WEEK 2. English Method II is the second week of a class cycle. This means we are moving at a faster pace and have added more combinations and core exercises to the class. We will spend less time on learning the combinations and more time on individual correction. We recommend only taking this class if you are already comfortable with The English Method or have taken
The English Method I.
