We're back with our autumnal edition of Hong Kong Healthy Eats with barre babe Ashley Tang!

Meet our lead teacher at Barre 2 Barre, Hayley Lief. Hayley grew up as a dancer and was always active growing up. She started with teaching Aerobics and then became a barre teacher at our studio back in 2015. Hayley tells us a little bit more about her background in dance and advice she's shared on wellness to her two beautiful daughters.

We are going through our teachers' bookshelves. Looking at what their favourite books are and what they are currently reading. Mylène Mackay, our co-founder is the first on our list. Read what books she's reading right now from paperback to her kindle.

Part of our #riseandshine crew, Corine is a busy mummy of two beautiful kids and loves to wake up for her early morning barre class just before heading to work. We absolutely love Corine, she has totally transformed her body because of barre (check out those guns). She loves packing in her cardio and pushing herself through our Bootcamp and Fire classes. Corine remains a constant inspiration for a lot of us here at the studio. Get to know what she has to say about barre and some advice she shares to newbies at the barre.

We are rounding up the year with our newest (or not so new) addition to our team, Sonya, who started as a client back in 2015 then turned into a teacher and now doubles as our Marketing Executive. Get to know Sonya a little more through our interview done by our barre ambassador, Ashley Tang.

Part of our #riseandshine crew, Jennifer is an avid morning barre bae. If you follow her on her IG (@jennyintheblock) you will know that she loves to travel around the world. Jennifer has been with us for a little over a year now and has grown so strong from barre. Get to know how she found the love for barre and read some memorable moments she shared with us!

Originally from London, Emma came to Hong Kong back in 2017. A client-turned-teacher, Emma instantly fell in love with barre when she took her first class with Ali. Her ethos is to teach clients to love and embrace the shakes before and after a barre class. Get to know Emma a little more through this interview done by our very own #barrebae Ashley Tang.

Have you ever thought about being barre certified by BarreAmped? As Mark Twain says, "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Check out our latest BarreAmped Level 2 certified student Jen Wong who stands the test of time in accomplishing not one but two BarreAmped certifications!

Healthy eating is one of the most powerful ways to rev up your work-out and #barrebabe Ashley knows where all the best places in town are. Read on for Ashley's Foodie World Magazine scoop on Sakti Elixir Bar at Fivelements Habitats in Times Square. We are hooked on their plant-based menu, and the best part is, you can combine it with one of our weekly barre classes held there. See you beauties at the barre!
