Barre Vida began in 2015 when Joanna Stone (aka Jo), founder and director, saw a need for a barre class that was open for all fitness levels and abilities.  A barre class that focused on proper form and alignment but still had that tough barre burn. She created Barre Vida to be adaptable to many different workout environments (even those without a barre) so that alternative spaces such as schools, universities, condos, and community centers could enjoy the benefits of a barre workout. Soon after Jo started teaching, the demand grew for Barre Vida. The Barre Vida teacher training then began and it morphed into a full barre instructor certificate program.  Today, Barre Vida certified instructors have the ability to teach Barre Vida classes or any generic barre class.  Joanna states that she wanted to spread barre to everyone and provide employment opportunities.
