ESSENTRICS® Rebound Injury free from your Workouts
with Miranda Esmonde-White
The human body is designed to be pain-free, energetic, and healthy. Most

simple series of exercises and techniques that unlock tight muscles, free
your joints and ensure long-term health of your body. Programming by
ESSENTRICS®.

Saturday August 13th, 2016 (3:15PM –4:45 PM)
ESSENTRICS®: The Ultimte Stretch Workout
with Gail Garceau
A program that offers trainers a way to safely rebalance and condition the
entire body in one dynamic workout. Standing, floor, and barre work allows
your muscles to strengthen and stretch through more effective angles,
resulting in deeper stretches, higher muscle engagement, and more
targeted and elongated toning. You’ll learn the science behind Essentrics
and see why it, not only improves fitness and performance but also
slenderizes, relieves pain, and heals injuries. NHL hockey teams, Olympic
athletes, and actors are all using this unique, effective, and enjoyable
program. For men and women of all ages and fitness levels. Programming
by ESSENTRICS®.
What to Expect from the Sessions
These sessions will combine an educational component mixed within
an Essentrics Workout. As a participant, you will be learning various
neuromuscular techniques commonly used in Essentrics and applying
them immediately into your workout. You will leave the session with an
understanding of why students become hooked after just one class, and
you’ll experience the feeling of freedom in all your joints and elongated
strength in your muscles.
Covered in the Sessions:
•
How to achieve the objective of elongated healthy muscles with
active (rather than passive) stretching.
•
How this equipment-free strengthening workout improves posture
and shapes the body through movement and resistance exercises
using your own body weight.
•
Understanding how the physical signs of aging can be slowed down
and even reversed by engaging the powerhouses of our cells (the
mitochondria) through strengthening and stretching of the muscles.
•
How every Essentrics class purposefully and systematically works
with the muscles, connective tissue, fascia and muscle chains to
leave participants looking and feeling their best.
•
Learn about some of the scientific formulas used in every Essentrics
Workout and how they have the potential to: rapidly and safely
change the shape of your clients’ bodies and improve their health,
reduce many common aches and pains, and prevent injuries.

lengthening, zero impact without the use of
weights—the Essentrics Barre Workouts will tone

and increase your flexibility.
“ESSENTRICS® is not a combination of
things from the past; it is innovation.”
