About the Live Teacher Training | Level 3
Are you ready to deepen your knowledge of Essentrics’ flexibility and therapeutic techniques?
Flexibility is often the missing piece needed to relieve pain, unlock movement, and heal injuries. Essentrics stands apart in its ability to help people achieve flexibility and ease tension through movement. In Level 3 training, you’ll learn how to confidently adapt a variety of standing, floor, and barre/chair exercises to meet the needs of any student – whether they’re looking to reduce stiffness, recover from injury, or simply move more freely.
This training goes beyond the fundamentals, exploring how the body responds to every shift, angle, and reflex. You’ll discover the science of working with connective tissue and using Essentrics’ neuromuscular techniques to unlock deeper flexibility, alleviate tension, and support recovery.
Pre-Event Virtual Session: Level 3 Theory
Prepare for your live training with a 90-minute virtual theory session on Zoom, held two weeks before the live event. This session will help you feel ready to apply the foundational principles of Level 3 flexibility and therapeutic techniques, setting the stage for an immersive live training experience.
We hope you can join us in real time to ask questions and meet your fellow teachers. If you can’t attend live, a recording will be available.
What You’ll Learn
This 3-day training delves into the science behind Essentrics’ therapeutic and flexibility-focused sequences, giving you practical tools to meet every student’s needs. Here’s what to expect:

Why take a live training?

Every training I go to, I learn more about myself, about my body and about how to help other people with their bodies. Then the icing on the cake: connecting with other teachers: for support, ideas, possible gnashing of teeth at times and celebration!
- Susan
The level 1 live training is the best money I have spent! I honestly don’t know if I could or would have finished. The training is not only so educational, it is so inspiring! For me the training made all the difference.
- Lynne
I thoroughly enjoy the live trainings especially meeting all the master instructors with all the expertise with cueing and watching us to correct us. And all the wonderful people you meet from all over Ontario!
