Hi!
Essentrics is a great compliment to barre, yoga, any fitness program. Although Essentrics does borrow from barre with their chair work, it isn't a true barre program. Essentrics is about dynamic stretching (moving through the stretch). Simultaneous stretch and strength...and of course their mantra is "stretch, strengthen, rebalance".
I love how my body feels with this program....my back and hip pain is significantly reduces. I also love the attention Essentrics/Classical Stretch gives to feet and fingers...helps with plantar fasciitis and arthritis/carpal tunnel syndrome.
Check out your local PBS to see if they carry Classical Stretch, check your library for dvds, or try out the freebies on YouTube or at essentrics.com.
