The Bar Method is celebrating its 19th birthday later this month! To commemorate, each week, we will share a monumental milestone that we're proud of or an interesting piece of Bar Method history. Today, we're starting from the very beginning with The Bar Method's introduction to the world back in 2001. After studying with the Lotte Berk Method for years, and then opening her own Lotte Berk studios in New York City, Burr Leonard applied her learnings and experience to open the flagship Bar Method studio in San Francisco. That was 19 years ago and where The Bar Method story begins. Fast forward to 2020, and there are now more than 100 studios spread across the country.

Have you ever noticed that The Bar Method has a unique way of targeting muscles that you never even knew you had or needed? It's one of the things that make our method special! Today on the blog, we're putting a spotlight on an often-overlooked muscle that's essential to every day movement and functionality. We're talking about your serratus anterior, a serrated- and fan-shaped muscle that sits just above your rib cage. Your serratus anterior is what allows you to rotate your arm and lift your arms above your head. It also works with many other muscles to perform other necessary functions like maintaining proper posture.
