Dear Students:
I am grateful to a good friend of mine for introducing me to the Essentrics® Workout. Being a newly certified teacher, she sent me her workout as a gift. I instantly became inspired and fell in love with it. Essentrics® is like a treasure chest of exercises and each time I practice the motions, I aspire to do them a little better.
I believe the philosophy behind Essentrics® and the way the instructors teach, is a great example of how to exercise in a conscious & healthy manner. This overall mind/body program helps to enhance muscular strength & flexibility and self awareness all at the same time. I include a short video so you can experience this wonderful way of exercising.
During this introduction, the teacher, Sahra demonstrates beautifully how to move slowly with resistance through each calisthenic and explains a bit about the concepts of lengthening while moving. Since I was deeply focused and vigorously occupied during an hour workout, it seemed to go by as if in seconds. I was exhilarated afterwards and felt similar to how I feel after a Feldenkrais® lesson except that my muscles were intentionally exerted.
Be sure to set 12 minutes aside to go through this routine to feel what conditioning the body in this mindful way, is like. Enjoy my favorite series of movements called “windmill arms” – I am confident you will like the way it skeletally engages your upper back & shoulders. I also think, ideas may come to you about how to turn stretching into effective movement explorations!
May your spirits be uplifted by yet another wholesome moving method much like mine have been! Have fun!
