A Magnificent Marvel

The spine, a magnificent marvel! It is made up of a series of bones that are stacked like blocks on top of each other with cushions called discs in between. It is a complex system whose overall function is to support, protect and mobilize. Your spine provides support for your whole body, protects your nerves, and allows you to bend, lift, twist, turn and reach in many different ways. To maintain a healthy spine the vertebrae must be strong and well aligned and the dics must be supple and resilient.

Essentrics® uses specific techniques to unlock and create space in the spine to safely and effectively align the vertebrae, increase circulation, and enhance range of motion. Pulling Up is an Essentrics® technique that simultaneously lengthens and strengthens the musculature of the spine. All the muscles of the spine, from the smallest to the largest, are engaged. Elongating the spine throughout the Essentrics® workout, lengthens the spine while strengthening the muscles, this decompresses the vertebrae, reverses spine shrinkage, relieves pain and prevents injury.

Your spine was designed to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free for the full duration of your life. Essentrics® sequential exercise progressions follow the body’s natural flow in sync with how the body was designed to move. These movements mimic everyday life and are widely accepted as the safest most effective way to train the human body. All muscles are trained to do equal work so that no imbalances occur allowing all our muscles, bones and joints to work as they should. The result is balanced strength, increased flexibility, and pain-free living. Keep your spine healthy, move with ease, and enjoy vitality that lasts a lifetime with Essentrics!

Break Free!

Break free from chronic stress with Essentrics®! I’ve been in the fitness industry for over twenty years and I’ve seen for myself how hard-core training regimens can actually harm the body and cause rapid aging. Overtraining causes intense stress. In time the brain literally forgets how to completely relax the body. Chronic stress can lead to inflammation, digestive issues, insomnia, and mood changes. Continually contracted muscles waste energy, raise your blood pressure, reduce blood flow, and impede the normal function of vital organs. A stressed body is not youthful or vibrant.

Essentrics® deliberate relaxed movements allow you to move with ease, coordination, and total freedom. Relaxing while moving your body has powerful healing benefits. Essentrics® emphasis on releasing tension while performing whole-body movements allows you to unlock long-standing knots, empower muscles, and rebuild mobility into stiffened joints. Specific neuromuscular techniques are used to release tension and liberate tight muscles everywhere in your body. The Essentrics® program relieves stress, improves circulation, aids in digestion, and boosts your overall mood.

Each Essentrics® class is specifically designed to engage your brain, and to release and rebalance the entire body to restore harmony throughout.

The more you relax the more capable you will be of bending, twisting, turning and reaching, and the more youthful you will feel and the more vibrant you will become. Break free from chronic stress. Release tension, rebalance strength and flexibility, and restore harmony throughout your body with Essentrics®.

Move Freely!

Move freely! Keep your fascia gliding with Essentrics®! Fascia is an interconnected web of tissue that surrounds everything from microscopic cells to entire muscle groups. Every part of your body big and small is surrounded by sheets of fascia. Large sheets of fascia help support your muscles and bones and act as stabilizers to maintain your balance. It is critical to retain mobility and hydration in your fascia if you want to stay feeling vibrant throughout your life.

Between the many layers of fascia is a fluid that lubricates the layers, permitting a sliding action to occur. When our fascia is gliding properly we have improved sensory awareness and coordination and experience fewer accidents and injuries. Movement encourages the lubrication fluid to flow and helps maintain the hydration and glide of the fascia. A lack of activity causes the fluid to slowly congeal and harden, resulting in stiffness, immobility and pain.

Essentrics® gentle full-body movements help restore hydration and glide to all the many layers of fascia. In each Essentrics® workout, you will twist, turn, stretch, wiggle and rotate to help you keep your fascia nourished and supple. The whole body working together in harmony helps you glide freely uninhibited by pain and stiffness, in sync with how the body was designed to move. Maintain your ease of movement, keep your fascia gliding, and enjoy vitality that lasts a lifetime with Essentrics!
