ESSENTRICS® Aging Backwards (Studio West Dance Center)

ESSENTRICS® is an age-reversing workout that encourages mobility and flexibility, relieves pain, and stimulates cells to boost energy, vibrancy, and the immune system. Using music to cue movement, it's a dynamic full-body stretch and strengthening program created by Miranda Esmonde-White, author of Forever Painless and the New York Times bestseller, Aging Backwards. This class is for OLLI members who are moderately fit and have their doctor's approval to exercise. Each session will include a 45-minute workout along with discussion about how ESSENTRICS® keeps our minds and bodies active.
