ESSENTRICS® with Charo
ESSENTRICS® is a dynamic, yet gentle, full body program that activates all your muscles.
This scientifically designed, age-reversing workout re-balances your body by working through your muscle chains to stretch and strengthen, release tension, and relieve chronic pain. The result: more energy, more mobility and a healthier you.
ESSENTRICS® draws on the flowing movements of tai chi, which create health and balance, the strengthening theories behind ballet, which creates long, lean, flexible muscles, and the healing principles of physiotherapy, which create a pain free body.
Created by Miranda Esmonde-White, the New York Times best-selling author of Forever Painless and Aging Backwards. Host of the award winning special Aging Backwards, and the long running PBS TV series Classical Stretch.

What students are saying...
"I have been doing regular aerobics exercises and daily in-home physical therapies for my hip and back. I thought I was in shape for someone in their 70's. After enrolling in Charo's class my body feels easily 10 years younger, and I am completely pain free for the first time in years. Charo is an exceptional teacher, and provides individual attention to students. I highly recommend Charo's Essentrics classes." Mariane D
"I've been using Essentrics DVDs to reduce tension and move with more energy and less stiffness and pain at work. It was a pleasure to do an Essentrics workout live with an instructor for the first time. Her slow pace and insight helped me identify a couple more ways I was holding onto tension during the workout and could relax. I look forward to more sessions! Great format." ~ Paul K
"Charo, who is a very experienced instructor, makes each class different. Though we stretch all the elements of our body, she does it differently each week. I was so impressed with my results, I signed up for her 12 week spring course. ~ Don U
"This may well be the best exercise class I've ever taken. The movements are simple but challenging, and especially enjoyable because they draw on my lifetime experience in dance.
Charo is fantastic as an instructor! She's patient, attentive, and explains very well." ~ Cynthia M
"The class is aptly named "Aging Backwards." Charo's classes have improved my agility, balance, energy and posture. She makes exercise fun. There is such positive energy in
Charo's classes that the students look forward to each session. The classes have significantly improved my well being, and I highly recommend them."
