LEVEL 2
Essentrics Trademark Exercises
Level 2: Essentrics Trademark Exercises
You will enter this level with a strong foundation of teaching practice from Level 1 and a basic understanding of class flow and techniques. We recommend learning one more Pre-Choreographed Workout before diving into the Level 2 theory.
Essentrics Trademark exercises are considered the most challenging aspect of every Essentrics workout. They involve large, full-body standing movements that focus on deep strengthening of the spine and core. These sequences are unique to Essentrics and are scientifically designed to rebalance the entire body’s musculature and decompress the spine while working through muscle chains, improving posture and relieving back pain.
Level 2 will teach you the elements that make up our Trademark sequences and just how to deliver these incredible results. In this level, you will be learning 33 unique trademark exercises, transitions and positions. These are the building blocks of the Essentrics program.
- How to go from mimicking the movements in our Trademark Sequences to understanding their purpose and rebalancing power. You will learn how these full-body exercises work at the deepest level to unlock tight joints and strengthen your muscles to transform the overall shape and health of your entire body.
- A thorough breakdown of the exercises, transitions and positions that provide the building blocks of Essentrics Trademark sequences
- How to create a well-balanced 5-7 minute Trademark sequence using our formula and provided charts to ensure safety, efficiency and guaranteed results
- Anatomy focused on the musculature and movements of the spine
- How to apply different techniques within Trademarks to achieve tailored objectives to meet the individual needs of your clientele (anti-aging, athletic performance, tension release, toning, etc.)
- Teaching skills to enrich the class experience for your students; such as development of musicality and imagery and mastering the speed of your movements
- How to address common mistakes and offer modifications
The expected time to complete Level 2 is 3-9 months.
