Age Without Limits Yoga students want you to know:

I loved your class. You are a wonderful instructor and a person I am so happy to be getting to know. The ladies I met in class were equally as nice so I’m looking forward to these weekly sessions. You make my week extra special.

Beverly, age 72 - first-time student

I do want you to know that I think of you every day and often quote you to people.  I use
the tools you taught me to stay calm and understand things are out of my control. (… ) I
feel so much better being able to do the Zoom class.

Nancy, Age 74, student twice a week for 3.5 years in the studio, moved and
now doing the Zoom class.

You could not find a more knowledgeable teacher. It is a very enjoyable class and we have a lot of fun.

Karen, age 75, Karen has been in class twice a week since 2018.

The variety in each class is excellent. I enjoyed the weights, using the balls and the many different things you provide. Anyone can benefit from what we do each week.
