What people are saying about this class! 

"I actually would like to take an additional ballet lesson weekly if she has anything similar for adults.  This is so good and beneficial that I feel that once a week is really not enough."

" This teacher is wonderfully patient with us and I enjoy the music too." 
  
"When I got home from my first ballet class, I was standing in the kitchen and I noticed
how straight and tall I was standing.  I wasn't even thinking about it.  My body was just
doing it, probably because I had stood so straight and tall for one hour at ballet! "

 Eccentric Lengthen and Strengthen classes are based on the Eccentrics fitness method which aims to gently condition and balance every muscle and joint in the body in every class.  We use eccentric and concentric muscle contractions, stretching, pandiculation, and techniques for relaxation and conditioning connective tissue to create and maintain a strong, lean, flexible, and resilient body.  The movements are drawn from Tai chi, Yoga, Ballet, Pilates, and Physio-therapy.  This mindful workout especially focuses on strengthening abdominals, improving posture, alignment, and balance, while learning to relax as we move.  Each class is accompanied by an enjoyable, diverse playlist. 

Leah Becker is a Level 4 Essentrics instructor.c
