Barre & Soul

Barre & Soul is a fitness studio offering barre, yoga and Pilates classes. Its signature Barre & Soul Method blends modern ballet conditioning, Pilates, yoga and low-impact cardio with light weights and props, and the studio also runs reformer Pilates, Faux Former Pilates, mat Pilates, vinyasa and candlelit yoga, and Super Sculpt Yoga, a heated, music-driven class with free weights.

The Portsmouth studio is on the second floor of a shopping center on Islington Street, reached by outdoor stairs around back, with two studio rooms and plenty of natural light. Classes start on time, and arriving 5 to 10 minutes early helps avoid a $10 no-show fee. Cancellations need to be made at least 4 hours before class. Private reformer Pilates sessions can be arranged by email, and gift cards are available.
