I LOVE the class and love how it forces me to take some much needed ME time. I have called my Mom in VA and told her she should seek out a studio and start practicing!Candace Bush, HRMS
I am enjoying the class. It is at a nice pace. It is helping me to focus on listening to my body. At my age (62 in October) this is a good gentle way to stretch the muscles and keep active. Thanks again.

I think the class is great. I can really feel the effect on my muscles the day after each class!
