BritsBarre Tarrytown: Austin's Prenatal Barre Studio
BritsBarre Tarrytown is an Austin barre studio offering a specialized prenatal barre program designed for every stage of pregnancy. Located at 2425 Exposition Blvd in Austin's Tarrytown neighborhood, BritsBarre is led by a certified prenatal barre instructor whose approach to pregnancy fitness is grounded in professional movement expertise, personal experience, and genuine care for the mothers she serves.
Prenatal fitness in Austin is not a one-size-fits-all category. The physical demands of pregnancy shift dramatically from the first trimester to the third — and the exercises, intensity, and modifications that serve an expecting mother safely must shift with them. BritsBarre's prenatal barre program in Austin is built around this reality. Every class is purpose-designed for pregnancy, not adapted from a general format at the last minute.
BritsBarre's prenatal barre classes help expecting Austin mothers build and maintain strength, support pelvic floor health, improve posture under the load of a growing belly, and stay connected to a community of women navigating the same season. The studio serves prenatal clients from Tarrytown, Clarksville, Hyde Park, Zilker, Rosedale, and across Central Austin.
Why Prenatal Barre — and Why BritsBarre Austin
Barre is widely recommended by Austin OBs, midwives, and pelvic floor physical therapists as one of the most appropriate exercise formats during pregnancy. Its low-impact, isometric structure builds strength without loading vulnerable joints. Its emphasis on postural alignment and pelvic floor engagement maps directly onto what the pregnant body needs most — especially as the body's center of gravity shifts and the hormone relaxin loosens connective tissue throughout all three trimesters.
BritsBarre's prenatal program goes further than most. Brit holds a formal certification in prenatal barre and brings the technical precision of a professional ballerina and master instructor to every class. Expecting mothers at BritsBarre Austin are not receiving a loosely modified version of a standard class — they are receiving a curriculum built specifically for them.
What to Expect in a Prenatal Barre Class at BritsBarre Austin
Trimester-Specific Modifications Every movement in BritsBarre's prenatal classes is adapted by trimester — not improvised in the moment. Class structure, exercise selection, and intensity are all calibrated to where expecting mothers are in their pregnancy.
Pelvic Floor Support Prenatal barre at BritsBarre incorporates intentional pelvic floor engagement throughout every session — supporting one of the most important and most undertrained muscle groups during pregnancy.
Safe Core Strength Deep core and glute work is carefully sequenced to build functional strength without creating problematic intra-abdominal pressure — a critical distinction in prenatal programming that BritsBarre's certification training specifically addresses.
Joint-Safe, Low-Impact Movement Barre's isometric format is uniquely suited to the pregnant body. Strength is built without impact on joints that are already under increased laxity from relaxin.
Postural Correction The postural shifts of pregnancy — anterior pelvic tilt, rounded shoulders, forward head — are directly addressed in every BritsBarre prenatal class through targeted alignment work.
Austin Mama Community BritsBarre's prenatal classes bring expecting mothers from across Central Austin together — building the kind of friendships and support networks that matter long after the baby arrives.

Meet Brit: Certified Prenatal Barre Instructor and Austin Mom
BritsBarre was founded by Brit, a former professional ballerina who discovered barre fitness while rehabbing an ankle injury during her dance career. Her formal barre career began at Flywheel Sports in New York City, where she became one of the most in-demand master barre instructors in the city. She went on to serve as Northeast Regional Manager of FlyBarre — training hundreds of barre instructors across the country and bringing a rigorous, technique-first standard to one of the nation's largest barre programs.
In 2020, Brit became a first-time mother and experienced pregnancy and early motherhood during the pandemic. She rebuilt her own strength and muscle definition postpartum while managing breastfeeding schedules, nap schedules, and the full demands of new motherhood — an experience that deepened her commitment to serving mothers at every stage of the journey.
Brit holds certifications in both prenatal and postnatal barre. Raised in San Antonio and based in Austin, she brings a level of professional expertise and personal credibility to prenatal fitness that is rare in the Austin market.
