Lori

BarreAmped Instructor & Teacher Trainer
Feb 2012 – Present

BarreAmped is the ultra results-oriented fitness regime based on modern and classical dance, Pilates, yoga, and deep stretching created by fitness DVD star Suzanne Bowen. Lori trained under Suzanne as a client before apprenticing to become an instructor, then also a teacher trainer. Her training in BarreAmped combines anatomy, form-focus, a neutral-spine alignment, and a strong mind-body connection.

Lori teaches classes locally at BarreAmped Nashville and Studio 51st. Most BarreAmped certifications are hosted by these studios in Nashville, though she does also travel.

More recently, Lori collaborated with method creator, Suzanne Bowen, to develop the BarreAmped Power Stretch class format.

Lori’s goal, whether she is training new instructors for the method or leading clients in a class, is to create an inspiring and holistic experience for mind, body, and spirit.
