Join certified Essentrics Instructor Kelly DiIonno for a rejuvenating five-week Essentrics class and give your body the gift of movement. Whether you’re looking to stretch tight muscles, boost your energy, or simply unwind, this class will help you feel restored and ready to take on the weekend.

What is Essentrics? Essentrics is a functional movement program that focuses on strengthening the muscles in a lengthened position. It works all 650 muscles and 360 joints by using full body sequences interspersed with targeted body sequences to re-balance the entire body and unlock tight joints.

Essentrics is influenced by the flowing, strengthening and healing movements of tai chi, dance and physiotherapy. It improves posture, increases energy, and reduces pain by improving the range of motion through dynamic movement. This class is geared towards all ages and is a great program for athletes looking for more flexibility, people just beginning their fitness journeys, and for those recovering from injuries.

Come to one class or attend all six! This class is open to all, cost is $10 per class. Venmo, cash, and checks accepted.

Ever notice how buying jerky is almost more plastic than meat? Making jerky--beef, lamb, venison, chicken, etc is easy, relatively quick, far more cost effective, and makes far less (or no) waste! Jerky is protein rich making for a hardy long lasting snack whether at home or on the road. You can also rehydrate jerky while cooking a meal, making for an excellent trail meal. In this class, we will process raw meat to make into jerky together. Exploring various ways to flavor the meat. Finished jerky for tasting will be available.

The workshop fee is by donation, but we ask that you help cover the cost of ingredients and supplies. This will be $10-15, depending on the workshop and quantity you take home. No one will be turned away.

Bal folk is a vibrant and inclusive dance tradition that started out in France, incorporated a bunch of other European influences, and took Europe and the UK by storm during the past 50 years or so. It has become increasingly popular in North America, no doubt due to its accessibility and captivating energy. You can easily join in even if you’ve never danced before. At Brattleboro Bal Folk, all dances are taught (this time, in the beginners workshop and with brief reminders as needed during the bal), and part of the big bal folk tradition all over the world is looking around to see what other people are doing and jumping in to try it out. No experience or partner required! Dances are in lines, spirals, circles, and pairs and range from hypnotic to meditative to raucous. The music is infectious!

Please bring a clean pair of shoes to change into, or clean your shoes off thoroughly once you get inside, before you step onto the dance floor. We want to protect that beautiful wood floor!

This class introduces the Tai Chi for Fall Prevention sequence starting from the very beginning. Regularly practicing the slow, rhythmic movements of Tai Chi smooths out stiff joints, improves balance, and promotes a sense of well-being. The class specifically improves balance and confidence in movement in a safe, easy-to-master program that one can do even seated, if necessary. This program benefits anyone from age 50 upward interested in maintaining their vitality.

Instructor, Leah Gessner, is certified by Tai Chi Vermont, a non-profit organization that promotes the Falls Prevention Tai Chi program and trains instructors throughout the state. Guilford Cares does not charge for these classes. (Of course, Guilford Cares always welcomes donations.)

You only need some comfortable loose clothing and a yen for adventure. You will find yourself in the company of welcoming neighbors enjoying oiling up their joints, rejuvenating muscle tone, and laughing some in the process.
