Movement is Joy.
I am a movement teacher with certification training in tantric yoga and Essentrics. I have also trained in the Walk of Life with Helen Poynor and Equinicity Horse Consciousness with Liz Mitten Ryan. Through these modalities and others such as QiGong, Ballet, Shamanism and Theatre, I have come to understand that movement is at the very core of our beingness here on earth. And that illness, pain, and depression are signs of the lack of movement in our lives. We do not have to be athletes but we must engage in full body movement, which means moving all of our muscles, joints, and bones to their full capacity preferably every day. This is why I teach Essentrics -because it does just that.
In order to maintain a positive and hopeful outlook in life you must:
free your body!
Essentrics Classes on the south shore of Nova Scotia
Essentrics is a full body strengthening and lengthening program which targets all of our muscles and joints in every workout. Because it focuses on eccentric movement we strengthen the muscle through stretching. There are no weights in this routine except for the natural weight of the body.
Each class is a pre-choreographed routine done to music. At first it all feels a little weird and new but you quickly get the hang of the movements and begin to enjoy the ease and flow of the workout. What I and others love about it is the energy that we get from it. Eccentric muscle contraction stores energy in the mitochondria of the cellular matrix of our muscles, so it turns us into batteries! We leave class replenished and happy instead of exhausted. As well, there has been much scientific research into how group synchronized movement to music actually heals our bodies and nervous systems! To me, this is where the magic of the workout really happens. We heal by moving together in unison.
I also choose music that is uplifting and healing which adds to the restorative quality of my classes. Essentrics helps me and all my students get our health and bodies back to a place of vitality and youthfulness no matter what our age.
