Strength and Flexibility
Essentrics strengthens and stretches every muscle in the body eccentrically, a practice in contracting and lengthening muscles at the same time. It incorporates various techniques and movements to systematically work every joint in the body. The basis of the workout is a dynamic combination of strength and flexibility exercises, designed to pull apart the joints by elongating the muscles and challenging them in the lengthened position.
We add to the enjoyment of this dynamic workout with motivating music. This is a completely original workout that 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.
