Motional CORE is centered on ESSENTRICS®—a gentle, dynamic technique known from PBS’s Classical Stretch. Through live in‑person and online classes, we help people improve flexibility, posture, and strength while reconnecting with ease, mobility, and overall well‑being.

I’m Steven Gray

Level 4 ESSENTRICS Instructor and Level 4+ Candidate

ESSENTRICS has been a movement oasis in my own life—refreshing, invigorating, and life‑giving—and I teach it as a pain‑free, non‑confrontational conversation with the body.

My approach emphasizes clarity, alignment, and the natural desire we all have to move.

Our
Values

Empowerment

Everyone is encouraged to move at their own pace in a non‑competitive, supportive environment.


Mindful Movement

We honor the body’s natural reflexes, moving in ways that cooperate with its design rather than forcing or confronting it.


Innate Expression:

Movement is a primal human language; we honor the inner dancer present in everyone.


Joyful Fitness:

Strength and mobility can feel uplifting, energizing, and deeply enjoyable.


WHO ARE WE

“I believe fitness and movement should be non‑combative, effective, pain‑free, and accessible to everyone.”
