Essentrics classes

We offer Essentrics classes in Montreal at our Jean-Talon & Mount-Royal studio.
Work the whole body in a balanced way to improve posture and flexibility.

What is Essentrics?

Essentrics is an exercise method developed by Canadian dancer Miranda Esmonde-White. It is based on principles of fluid, graceful movement inspired by various disciplines such as ballet, yoga, physiotherapy and Tai chi.

Essentrics aims to strengthen, stretch and tone muscles while improving flexibility, posture and joint mobility. Exercises are designed to work the whole body in a balanced way, with an emphasis on developing long, lean muscles rather than bulky ones.

A key aspect of Essentrics is the emphasis placed on movement dynamics and working the entire muscular chain. Exercises are performed in a fluid, rhythmic manner, using controlled stretching and contraction movements to create muscular tension without placing undue stress on the joints.

The benefits of Essentrics

The benefits of Essentrics

Improves posture

Essentrics helps to correct muscular imbalances and strengthen the deep muscles that support the spine. This promotes a more elongated, aligned and balanced posture, reducing the tension and pain associated with poor posture.

Strengthens muscles without excessive impact

Essentrics strengthens muscles in a balanced and harmonious way, without putting excessive strain on joints. Exercises use body resistance and controlled movements to develop long, lean muscles, promoting a toned figure and functional strength.

Improve flexibility and strength

The gentle, lengthwise stretching movements of Essentrics help to lengthen muscles and improve their elasticity. This translates into greater joint range of motion and increased flexibility throughout the body, facilitating daily activities and reducing the risk of injury.
