Got text neck?  iHunch?  Aches, pains, headaches, or general muscle soreness from long hours in the lab, sitting at your computer, and using your mobile device?  Essentrics can help!

Inspired by ballet, yoga and tai chi, Essentrics is a unique exercise program that honors the body’s natural design. It is an intelligent movement form that understands how to mindfully work with the body’s neuromuscular system, and works to rebalance each joint to help increase range of motion, and flexibility. It has many benefits, including; improved posture, increased muscle strength, decreased muscle tension and relief from chronic aches and pains. 

Essentrics is ideal for anyone looking for a safe, effective, alignment-based exercise program, and for individuals looking to complement other activities, such as running, biking, and weight training. 

A diverse music playlist accompanies each workout, creating a fun, positive environment.  You'll leave this one-hour class feeling more pliable, energized, relaxed and balanced!
