"It was only when dancing that I was able to go back to my instincts, and finally trust that the choices I was making for my baby and myself were the right ones."
ELISA REINERIO, FOUNDER OF BARRE&BABY
What is Matrescence?
Matrescence is the profound physical, emotional, and mental transformation women experience during pregnancy and motherhood.
At Barre&Baby, our global movement draws on science—from anatomy and physiology to neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology—to understand movement as a fundamental human need. Movement supports self-expression, social connection, and physical wellbeing.
Our classes and community provide a nurturing space that can help counteract the modern challenges of motherhood—such as depression, anxiety, and loneliness—helping mothers thrive from the inside out.
"It makes me happier. As a mum. As a person"
