As an Essentrics® Instructor I believe that fitness should not be measured with
an index, in miles, in muscle mass or in speed, rather, it should be measured in
one’s ability to move freely, live actively and without pain. I support my
clients to create a balanced body whereby the strength in your muscles doesn't
inhibit your movement, and your mobility is enhanced by your strength. So, what
is Essentrics®? ESSENTRICS® is a full-body workout that rapidly changes the
shape of your body through a dynamic combination of strengthening and
stretching. The technique develops lean, strong and flexible muscles with
immediate changes to your posture. Perfect for all fitness levels, this program
rebalances the body, prevents and treats injuries and unlocks tight joints. With
a diverse music playlist accompanying each routine, this equipment-free workout
leaves you feeling energized, youthful and healthy! While the technique is
original in itself, it has been influenced by several disciplines. Essentrics®
draws on the flowing movements of Tai Chi, which create health and balance, the
strengthening theories behind ballet, which create long, lean, flexible muscles,
and the healing principles of physiotherapy, which create a pain-free body. It
is ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels. As well, Essentrics® is the
perfect complement to our daily activities and other fitness activities. For
instance, if you sit at a desk hunched over a computer all day, do heavy
lifting, or stand on your feet for hours at a time, there will be repercussions
for your physical wellbeing. What about your fitness activities? Do you run,
cycle, play sports like football, netball or rugby? While these all provide
amazing benefits to your health, they can also create imbalances in the body.
Adding Essentrics® to your fitness routine, whether you are an athlete or
recreational sports person, will rebalance your body, protect you from injury,
and improve your form – all of which will enhance your performance in everything
you want and need to do! Essentrics® dynamically combines strengthening and
stretching to develop a strong toned body with the complete ability of moving
each joint and muscle freely and with full range of motion. Essentrics® will
target what you need, unlock what is tight, strengthen what is weak and tone
what needs shaping. Essentrics® was created by Miranda Esmonde-White. Miranda is
a former professional ballerina, best selling author of Aging Backwards and
Forever Painless.
