I'm just loving these workouts and would really prefer to learn the technique in person, but there are no local Essentrics/Classical Stretch classes that I can find in my area.

All of the classes I teach presently are an hour....regular Essentrics. I do know that some instructors offer shorter classes in office settings. I'll be doing Relax/Release/Restore in August at a senior center and that will be a half hour.
After years of doing these workouts at home, going to a live class was just a treat. I loved the updated music and interaction with people in the class.
I do "Essentrics 101" before class and talk about neutral C, foot and knee placement for plies, and keeping the pelvis tucked under whenever your arm is in front.
During class, if I see form that is "off" I will say things like "keep your knees bent" or whatever....but I don't call people out. I need to get to a point where I can correct individuals in class...right now that is for before or questions after class. I'm doing a form clinic this fall (no charge).
Live classes are more challenging..I think in part due to the length of class but also that group mentality of just working harder with other people.
I'm going to go to Montreal this summer....so excited to visit the Essentrics Studio! I'll report back...I've heard they are kick butt classes!!
ETA---I'm in MN and have an open door policy for VFers to come to class with me anytime...no charge.
