The chance to pick up this wonderful experience again with the offer of online classes really excited me. I was going to feel good again! Emily's class on Fridays was so well run, she demonstrated each different move clearly & gave the instructions in a well modulated voice. There was no stress. The class was great & I know I'll feel better the more I experience Emily's Friday classes.
