"This class has helped improve awareness of my balance and weight bearing. The warmup exercises are helpful for 'centering' in general. Before I started this class, I would sometimes feel a little off balance turning while walking or rising from a chair, but I do not notice this any longer. I'm grateful that you offer this class."
