Keep your body and your brain young and vibrant with Essentrics®! Body awareness is an essential element of Essentrics® that links the brain and the body—more awareness yields better movement. Each movement is an intricate interplay between the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system. Essentrics® exercises nudge your body out of its comfort zone, by continually shifting positions and targeting your muscles from different angles, your brain adjusts and adapts your body as you move. Every single muscle contraction and release comes from a message in the brain—the more complicated the movement, the greater the activity of the brain.

Essentrics® promotes all kinds of changes in the brain, including neural growth, improved circulation, and new activity patterns that promote feelings of well-being. It also releases powerful chemicals in your brain that energize your spirits and make you feel good. Finally, Essentrics® forges new connections between the brain and the body calling into action the full suite of cognitive functions. Using a fluid combination of lengthening and strengthening, this unique program fires up every part of your brain and your body.

Essentrics® full-body workouts rebalance the entire musculoskeletal system, while directly employing the neurological system to continually link the brain and the body. Sweeping rotational movements send messages throughout the body, and a wide array of brain areas are called into play. Essentrics® sequential exercise progressions follow the body’s natural flow in sync with how the body was designed to move. Each class is specifically designed to engage your brain, and to release and rebalance the entire body while developing lean, strong and flexible muscles. Keep your body and your brain young and vibrant with Essentrics®!

Dynamic Duo

Miranda and Sahra Esmonde-White, co-founders of Essentrics®, are true pioneers in the fitness industry. These lovely and incredibly talented health experts have developed a superb Teacher Training Program which provides you with the education and support you need to succeed as an Essentrics® instructor – no matter your background or experience. This program is safe, effective and fun for women and men of all ages and fitness levels.

Essentrics® was inspired by the need for a fitness workout that could tone and shape the body while simultaneously healing and freeing it from pain. Most strengthening workouts leave your joints feeling tight—those over-contracted, tight muscles can lead to injury and premature aging. Essentrics® is different—it lengthens and strengthens simultaneously using only the body as a weight: the result is balanced strength and flexibility. The whole body working together in harmony helps you move freely uninhibited by pain and stiffness, with energy and vigor for life.

The Essentrics® Instructor Certification Program offers a comprehensive, interactive and unique distance learning program.

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.

Push Pull #7

Each Essentrics® class is specifically designed to engage your brain, and to release and rebalance the entire body to restore harmony throughout. This is one of the major reasons Essentrics® is so beneficial for your physical health, and your mental well-being. 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®.
