I discovered Essentrics at 58 after reading "Aging Backwards" and experiencing how this exercise program corrected my own posture and mobility decline. After several years of teaching, studying and finally achieving full certification as a Level 4 Essentrics Instructor, I decided to retire from my 25-year career within the Justice sector to devote more time to teaching this wonderful practice of self-care. Over 40 years ago I graduated from the University of Toronto, Drama Specialist Program, and attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Recently I returned to U of T to study Mindfulness Meditation Facilitation for Chronic Pain, to further my understanding of the body/mind connection. I am particularly interested in sharing the joy of movement with my fellow seniors - a growing demographic! I'm now thrilled to be working with the Essentrics Teacher Training Team as a Level 1 & 2 exam corrector and Teacher Mentor. It's been wonderful helping others achieve their goal to become Instructors, so even more people can start to benefit from practising Essentrics. Cheers! Karin
