Amesbury + Rowley, MA + North Hampton, NH Adding the cardio and cycle only made it sweeter.
MotivateĀ® was born out of a love for coming alongside people and helping them achieve their health and wellness goals. I found barre after son #3...and became stronger and more balanced than I had ever been in all my years in competitive sports. I fell in love and needed to share it with everyone willing to listen and partake. If you are looking for a true community of people who are kind, genuine, and like to work hard...MotivateĀ® is it.

Hot Flow to Yin
Tuesdays 545pm w/ Lisa
North Hampton Studio
Ignite, then unwind. š„š§š½
This class begins with a heated, dynamic vinyasa flow designed to build heat, strength, and mobility through intentional movement and breath. Youāll move through energizing sequences that challenge balance and endurance, helping to release tension and clear the mind.
Once your body is warm and open, youāll transition into deep, restorative Yin postures, held for longer periods to target connective tissue, increase flexibility, and calm the nervous system. Expect a slow descent from fire to stillnessāleaving you grounded, supple, and deeply restored.
Perfect for anyone craving both the power of movement and the medicine of stillness in one complete practice.
Room is heated between 75-80 degrees.

What Happens When Women 50 Years Apart Travel Together?
Ā
When I saw our retreat roster for Greece come together ā 13 women, ages 16 to 66 ā I paused. Thatās a half-century span of life experience, heartbreak, wisdom, and wonder. How in the world was this going to work? Had I bitten off more than I could chew as a retreat leader? Iāll admit ā I might have been freaking out a little.
But you know what? It turned out to be our greatest gift.
Ā
Over the week, we witnessed something rare and deeply moving: the way women of different generations canĀ holdĀ one another. The youngest reminded us to stay curious and brave. The oldest showed us what grace and strength look like after a lifetime of showing up. And everyone in between connected the dots ā juggling the messy, magical middle.
Ā
It wasnāt about age. It was about energy. About laughter that crossed decades. About dancing under Greek skies (and on a boat, and down winding roads, and while throwing plates and shouting āOPA!ā) ā and realizing that joy doesnāt expire. About tears shared over stories that felt both familiar and brand new.
Ā
In a world that often divides us by generation, this retreat was proof of how much richer we are when we mix it up ā when we listen, learn, and lift each other across time.
Ā
At Motivate, we always say movement connects us. But this trip reminded me thatĀ communityĀ is what transforms us. And when we create community in gorgeous places ā allowing ourselves to feel a little nervous or anxious in order to get there ā the experience becomes heightened, magnified, and absolutely breathtaking to witness.
Ā
Hereās to more spaces ā in studios, on mats, across oceans ā where 16 and 66 can move, laugh, and grow together.

MotivateĀ® Mission: MotivateĀ® strives to inspire you to become stronger and healthier through thoughtful movement, nutrition and community in order to enhance the vibrancy and longevity of your life.
MotivateĀ® was born out of a love of community and of coming alongside people to help them achieve their health and wellness goals. I found barre after son #3. I found it during a time of my life when I felt overwhelmed and depleted. It gave me some much-needed ME time. A byproduct was that in the process of taking a few classes a week, I became stronger and more balanced than I had ever been in all my years in competitive sports. I fell in love and needed to share it with everyone willing to listen and partake.
After teaching in Newburyport for about 8 years, I made the entrepreneurial leap to open my own studio. I found a dear spot in downtown Newburyport which made it even sweeter. The ability to take class and then walk a few paces to grab coffee or a fresh-pressed juice...or a glass of wine :-), created the sense of local community that I desired. It also as mimicked the feel of the studio where my love of barre began. It came full circle.
Adding the cardio and cycle...and most recently, nutrition coaching to the studio only made it sweeter, sweatier, and more well rounded. You can find everything here...strength and length as well as shred and sweat. And you get it all in a smaller instructor-client ratio to ensure sound form and personal attention. Our instructors are trained and certified in barre as it was originally intended: as a dynamic, full-body, joint-safe workout that strengthens and stretches all the major muscle groups in the body that originates in the Lotte Berk Method. MotivateĀ® Barre is set to fun and upbeat music and combines ballet barre work, core conditioning, yoga, Pilates, and orthopedic exercises. The controlled movements are very focused, effective, and safe. (No coordination is necessary.) Proper alignment and form is the primary focus. Hands-on adjustments are built into class to take each client to their personal best. Incorporated into each session are active stretches to develop more toned, sculpted, lengthened, and supple muscles. The entire body and mind are constantly working throughout each session. Every position is cued to properly achieve and maintain core engagement. Through this process, your body, posture, and physical awareness will be transformed. No area of the body is left undiscovered in a barre class.
MotivateĀ® is a true community player. We learn, serve and socialize together through MotivateĀ® Book Groups, Serve and Socials. We currently serve at Our Neighborās Table quarterly together. We are also a sponsor of the Newburyport Education Foundation. Barre Local and Serve Local.
If you are looking for a true community of people who are kind, genuine, and like to work hard...MotivateĀ® is it.
