What if the secret to overcoming life’s obstacles lay in movement? With her first book, “Life in motion”, published by Eyrolles publishing, Julie Granger, internationally renowned dancer and coach, offers a novel approach to overcoming obstacles with grace and resilience.
Drawing on her exceptional background and her Brooklyn Barre® method, Julie Granger invites us to reintegrate movement into our daily lives, not just as a physical practice, but as a key to reconnecting with ourselves and the world.
An inspiring journey between dance and resilience
A former ballet dancer trained at the Boston Ballet, Julie Granger did not follow a conventional career path. After a demanding career, she reinvented herself as a personal trainer and fitness instructor in the United States, where she became an ambassador for Equinox, a global reference in the field. In 2020, she returned to France to open her own studio and democratize her method, Brooklyn Barre®.
In “Life in motion”, Julie looks back on the defining moments of her journey: the challenges, the necessary rebuilding, and the learning that shaped her. This personal account offers an authentic and inspiring perspective on how to turn pitfalls into stepping stones.
The Brooklyn Barre®: a unique method for reconnecting with yourself
At the heart of this book is Julie Granger’s Brooklyn Barre® method. Inspired by classical dance and fitness, this hybrid discipline combines muscle strengthening, fluidity and well-being.
“Life in motion” offers concrete keys to integrating this practice into everyday life. Readers will discover simple, accessible exercises, as well as advice on how to adopt a holistic approach to movement, going beyond the purely physical.

Movement as an art of living
Julie Granger elevates movement to the level of a philosophy of life. For her, moving is also about learning to navigate the flow of life, embracing change and overcoming hardship with flexibility. As she explains in her book: “Dance brings us a sense of freedom, helps us reconnect with ourselves.”
Through personal anecdotes, invitations to reflection and practical exercises, the author offers a complete vision of well-being, where body and mind evolve in harmony.
A book for everyone, between inspiration and practice
Aimed at both dance enthusiasts and novices in search of serenity, “Life in motion” is for all those who wish to transform their relationship with their body and with life. With its 144 pages, the book alternates between inspiring stories, practical advice and concrete exercises, for a content that is both rich and accessible.
