Maureen Bellmay

Level 4 Essentrics Instructor

Maureen is a fully certified level 4 Essentrics instructor who has been a healthy living enthusiast for much of her life. A fitness instructor in the past and a yoga student for over 35 years, she became intrigued by a program she watched on PBS several years ago, called Classical Stretch by Essentrics. When she researched wanting to join a local class, she found there were no instructors in her area. At the age of 55 she decided to become an instructor and has begun a new chapter in her life. She has been teaching Essentrics for over 8 years in the Northwest Corner of CT and has built a wonderful following of students.

Maureen recently completed Advanced Therapeutic Techniques Graduate Program at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck NY, which included 5 days of training with Miranda Esmonde-White (Creator of Essentrics, Host of Classical Stretch on PBS & New York Times Bestselling Author). “It was an honor to train with a small group of instructors and to meet and learn from Miranda. Learning never ends!” - Maureen Essentrics is a unique exercise technique that honors the body’s natural design. It is an intelligent movement form that works with the neuromuscular system to rebalance each joint and increase range of motion. The program draws on the flowing movements of tai chi which create health and balance, the strengthening theories behind ballet which create long lean flexible muscles and the healing principles of physiotherapy which create a pain-free body.
