A look inside Barre & Be

Where we move beyond performance and into embodiment—body, mind, and spirit.

If you’ve been moving just to get by, disconnected from your body and your essence—Barre & Be is your return home.

Barre & Be is a holistic wellness brand rooted in barre inspired fitness.

Barre & Be is more than fitness—it’s embodied strength work that sculpts your body, restores your nervous system, and reconnects you to your essence.

From Performance to Presence

Barre & Be was born out of my own journey from performance into presence. As a former Track & Field athlete, I knew what it meant to push, achieve, and perform—often just to be accepted or liked. But behind the achievements, I was burnt out, anxious, and stuck in survival mode. My body carried the weight of stress, and my spirit felt far from home.

Why Barre & Be

What I longed for was a practice that did more than shape my body. I needed something that could soften my heart, strengthen my mind, and guide me inward—so I could finally show up as my true self, outwardly.

Through barre-inspired movement, breathwork, and soul work, I found a new rhythm: one rooted in nervous system healing, embodied strength work, and restoration.

Barre & Be is the sacred space I created to share that rhythm with women like you—women who are ready to stop performing and start embodying.

A Sustainable Practice to keep you fit Mind, Body, Spirit

Here, movement is not just about sculpting your body. It’s about restoring balance, reclaiming your breath, and rising into the woman you were always meant to be.

Welcome home. You belong here.

With love,

Evelyn Maria Dia

Founder of Barre & Be
