ESSENTRICS WORKOUT
ESSENTRICS® is a dynamic, full-body workout designed to strengthen, lengthen, and rebalance the body — all in one fluid, continuous movement experience.
Inspired by classical ballet, tai chi, and physiotherapy principles, ESSENTRICS® focuses on joint health, muscular balance, and elegant, pain-free mobility. It is the perfect complement to ballet training — and equally powerful as a standalone class for anyone seeking a strong, lean, and flexible body.
What Makes ESSENTRICS® Unique?
Unlike traditional strength training that compresses the joints, ESSENTRICS® works through lengthening and strengthening at the same time, creating:
* Long, lean muscle definition
* Improved posture and alignment
* Increased flexibility and mobility
* Core strength without tension
* Greater freedom of movement
Why Dancers Love It?
- For ballet and dance students, ESSENTRICS® helps:
- Protect hips, knees, ankles, and spine
- Maintain turnout and extension
- Improve arm carriage and back strength
- Increase stamina without overuse strain
- For adults and non-dancers, it offers:
- Joint pain relief
- Better balance and coordination
- Increased energy and circulation
- A graceful, uplifting workout experience
The class is low-impact yet highly effective, making it accessible to all fitness levels while still offering a deep, intelligent challenge.
Move with control.
Lengthen with purpose.
Strengthen without strain.
ESSENTRICS® is where elegance meets longevity.
To ensure you’re comfortable and ready to move, please bring the following:
• Comfortable workout attire that allows full range of motion
• Grip socks, ballet slippers, or bare feet (no street shoes in the studio)
• A yoga mat (optional but recommended for floor work)
• A light towel
• A water bottle to stay hydrated
No prior dance experience is required — just come with an open mind and a willingness to move.
We look forward to seeing you in class!

Level 4 Essentrics™ Zara Safarian
From an early age, Zara discovered the powerful connection between movement and music, realizing their ability to uplift the mind and body. Inspired by the grace of flexible, balanced bodies adorned with long, lean muscles, she explored various exercise programs before finding her true passion in Essentrics™—a technique that perfectly aligns with her vision of fluid, pain-free movement.
Zara’s teaching philosophy is deeply personal. With the support of her late husband, Daniel, she embarked on her Essentrics™ journey, and after his passing in 2020, she chose to honor his memory by donating all her teaching earnings to the Neuroendocrine Cancer Awareness Network (NCAN). As a volunteer wellness teacher, she continues to share her passion, believing in the transformative power of movement to bring joy, healing, and resilience.
As a mother and grandmother, Zara understands the importance of maintaining a strong, agile body at every stage of life. Her morning class welcomes students of all levels—from brand-new dancers to advanced ballet practitioners—helping them build a solid foundation for ballet training while fostering connection, courage, and happiness.
Join Zara on this inspiring journey and discover the beauty of movement in its purest form.
