Every movement begins with intention.
I finally found the PERFECT workout for me! I've been doing Barre workouts for more than 20 years, trying many variations (Pure Barre, Core Fusion, Go Figure, Barre3, Bar Method, Barre 101, etc). The Dailey Method is the right balance of targeted, effective toning, strengthening & stretching. And if you have injuries or need to modify, the instructors offer options during class, for every level. And Raquel's classes are a treat; her dance background gives her special insight into body awareness---she knows how to give instructions that automatically improve your posture and positioning. I have done barre classes for years, and Raquel's is now my favourite studio!

Hello and welcome!
I am Raquel Lanting, a Certified Pilates Instructor and a Master Teacher for The Dailey Method (TDM) a San-Francisco-original. I have been teaching Barre and Cycle classes for 13 years and Pilates for 4 years. All my classes focus on safe, rehabilitative movements. My training in Integrative Pilates (combining the power of Physiotherapy + Pilates) and my experience teaching rehab-based TDM exercises help me to connect individually with my students through distinctive cues that make a beginner at ease and a seasoned one enjoying a worthwhile workout. I believe that each body is unique, and a certain exercise will feel and look different from one student to the next, so I pay extra attention to each of my student's needs, and offer modifications when needed. If you haven’t found the right exercise for you yet, maybe this is it. I know it can feel intimidating taking a workout class like Barre and Pilates but I am grateful that you are here to see how my classes can make you feel and move better. I am invested in your wellness, and I can't wait to work with you!
REHAB-BASED MAT PILATES
A low-impact exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. Movement is slow and precise that will involve breath control. My approach to teaching Pilates is rehab-based and restorative as I integrate physiotherapy principles into my Pilates classes.
DAILEY BARRE
A combination of Pilates, ballet barre, stretches and orthopedic exercises where cueing and pacing is relatively quick. Movement is layered on after alignment is achieved. This is an ideal class to support a healthy lifestyle or as a complementary to other activities like running, walking, skiing, cycling.
PILATES STRETCH AND FLOW
DAILEY GENTLE
Combining Pilates moves and yoga poses, this class will build strength and tone muscles while improving flexibility.
In this barre class, alignment is the primary focus and layered movements are optional. This is ideal for those looking for a slower-paced class. It is especially designed for those recovering from surgery, illness or injury; for seniors and new practitioners; and to provide relief from disabilities and chronic conditions like arthritis or joint pain.
PILATES-BARRE CARDIO
A fusion of Pilates and barre fitness with a focus on bringing the heart rate up. This low-impact exercise will help burn calories while strengthening muscles and improving postural alignment and flexibility. Options and variations will be given throughout the class to enable the student to move within a pace that is comfortable and supportive.
