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 in this winter series or attend all six! This class is open to all, cost is $10 per class. Venmo, cash, and checks accepted.

Yoga nidra — often called "yogic sleep" — is a deeply restorative guided meditation that carries you to the threshold between waking and sleep. Practiced lying down and accessible to all levels, it requires no prior experience and offers profound benefits: stress relief, improved sleep, and a deep sense of inner calm. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or completely new to yoga, this is a beautiful experience not to be missed.

You'll be guided into a restful, sleep-like state while lying comfortably on the floor, supported by props and blankets. Your props are essential to this practice — the more comfortable you are, the deeper you can go. To make the most of your experience, please bring:

• 1 pillow

• 2 blankets

• 1 bolster or firm pillow

• Eye mask (optional, but recommended)

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.
