Barre Body Flinders Lane

FLINDERS LANE STUDIO The vibe: Just like the heart of the CBD that surrounds us, the vibe at Flinders Lane is vibrant and energetic, while providing a calming sanctuary from the hustle. A story of our studio: Our studio has been architecturally designed from top to toe by the amazing Mihaly Slocombe Architects, with a focus on creating the most beautiful, sensory experience for your Barre Body class. We stripped back the old carpet, partition walls and office ceiling to reveal a raw shell, filled with personality. We added materials rich in detail and texture, like timber, linen and brass. The concrete floor was polished to a high lustre. Around the walls, a series of linen curtains soften and shape the space. And the ceiling is a beautiful sight of Australian hardwood dowels, reflecting the texture of the barre. What to expect: The lift up to level 6 (the penthouse, how fancy!) opens into a large reception and waiting area full of tea and goodies. Step into the studio space itself and you might just need a second to catch your breath (especially if you took the stairs) – featuring twinkling pendant lights to set the mood, it’s a special space to find a moment of pause in your day. Where to head after class: Just two blocks east of the studio is Tom Thumb, the tiniest little coffee shop that sells expertly brewed coffee and an impressive range of pastries (many being gluten free – yay). We’re also fond of a little stroll through Parliament Gardens, which is a gorgeous spot to eat your lunch and to admire the adorable baby ducks in spring. The location: Barre Body Flinders Lane is located on level 6 (the penthouse) at 175 Flinders Lane, between Russell & Swanston streets. The nearest train stations are Parliament (8 minute walk) and Flinders Street (3 minute walk). Most parking nearby is 1 hour so we don’t mind if you come in right on the class start time and leave a few minutes early if you need to.
