I often need an extra energy boost before I head into the studio to teach. Live streaming a 60 minute barre class is a lot harder than might you think. Not only am I teaching with no breaks to connect with clients like an in-studio class, but I have to be ‘on’ one hundred percent of the time. I am not complaining however. I get a fantastic workout and know that on the other side of the computer I’m connecting with clients from all over the world.
