About the Instructor

Severina Gates is a Level 4 Essentrics Instructor, Exam Corrector, and Educator based in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. She works with the Essentrics Teacher Training department, providing instructor support and correcting exams at all four levels of training. Severina first discovered Essentrics in 2009 through the PBS show Classical Stretch, which helped her rehabilitate after invasive surgery. She began training as an instructor in 2013, with a focus on bringing the therapeutic and rebalancing benefits of the technique to people of all ages and abilities. In 2022, after the birth of her daughter via cesarean, she once again found the exercises, techniques, and modifications of the program invaluable in her healing process.

"Using Essentrics to help me recover from a second abdominal surgery, I felt a deeper connection with my body this time around. The body awareness gained through the four levels gave me a more complete understanding of where I was still weak, which exercises felt best to strengthen, and how to modify as my body was still healing."
