WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Essentrics is the best class I've ever taken. It is meticulously designed by Anna, and she helps you learn something different with every class. I find it quite challenging. I finish it with a feeling of accomplishment.

Anna's Eccentrics classes are just what I needed and also great for all levels. You can work at your own speed and push yourself a bit more at every session for noticeable improvements. Her detailed information accompanying every move really helps to make sure you get each move right. Thanks Anna for one great class after another!

"I have been taking Essentrics with Anna since she first started offering the classes. Heading into my 60s, I needed something to help manage stress and ease the soreness in my shoulders and back from years of working at a desk. I had never been into exercise or fitness classes, but really liked Anna's teaching style from the start, and am always inspired to do my personal best. Anna keeps class interesting by varying the program. I always feel great after class, and have seen real improvement in flexibility, muscle tone, strength, and I've lost inches around my midsection and hips."

I love Essentrics with Anna! l've tried lots of different workouts: yoga, running, HIIT, and Anna's Essentrics class somehow feels like the best of all these worlds. It's flowing and gentle--yet intense and gritty at the same time! | love the different movements, which, when you come back to them week after week, you start to feel more graceful in, like a dance. It's immediately apparent that Anna really knows her stuff and you will feel a greater body intelligence and awareness after a single class! I have made essentrics part of my weekly routine and it really has done wonders for my body AND mind.
