ESSENTRICS® Aging Backwards (First Presbyterian Church)

ESSENTRICS® is designed to restore and maintain mobility in joints, flexibility in muscles, relieve pain, and stimulate 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 will include workouts for OLLI members who are moderately fit and whose doctors approve of their exercising, along with a discussion about posture, everyday alignment, and how ESSENTRICS® keeps our minds and bodies active.         

Terry Nolan loves that ESSENTRICS® makes other activities she enjoys easier. She holds a Level 4 ESSENTRICS® Instructor Certification and worked as an editor with the team that revised its instructor training manuals. Her teaching style is mindful and fun as she guides you through dynamic full-body strength and flexibility workouts that move with a curated playlist. She is certain that OLLI members who do so much to keep their minds active will love this fitness program that brilliantly does the same for their bodies.
