What is Essentrics?

Essentrics® is a full-body, low-impact workout that combines dynamic stretching and strengthening to rebalance the body, relieve pain, prevent injury, and improve mobility and flexibility.

Developed by Miranda Esmonde-White, creator of the Aging Backwards and Essentrics® programs, this method focuses on improving posture, restoring joint health, and strengthening the body through fluid, controlled movement. The program is designed to support healthy aging by helping people maintain strength, flexibility, and energy throughout their lives.

At Connect & Beyond, Essentrics® classes are led by a Level 4 Certified Essentrics® Instructor, the highest level within the Essentrics® certification program. This certification requires extensive training, hundreds of teaching hours, continuing education, and advanced study in the Essentrics® method.

Essentrics® can help participants:

• Improve posture and flexibility
• Reduce pain and joint stiffness
• Build strength and mobility
• Support balance and injury prevention
• Move with greater ease and confidence

 

The result is a movement practice that supports strength, longevity, and a more energized body at any stage of life.

Jan
Landis

Our Essentrics Instructor

Jan Landis discovered Essentrics® during her own journey to move beyond knee pain and restore ease in everyday movement. What began as exercising with videos at home quickly led to noticeable changes — improved mobility, less discomfort, and the ability to move freely again. Before long, she was running up and down the stairs without hesitation.

Inspired by the transformation she experienced, Jan pursued formal training and is now Level 4 Certified through the Essentrics® Certification Program, the highest level of certification within the method. In her classes, Jan helps participants improve posture, move with greater ease, and build confidence in what their bodies can do.
