Smiles & Success: Client Reviews That Say It All:

I had an excellent experience and plan to return for another class. The instructor gave an introduction and cues that were easy to understand. She was also able to add corrections when needed. Loved the small class size as well.
 

Nancy L.

Libby is fun, thorough, terrific instructions as to clarity of movement and exercise. She tailors the time to what I need given the status of my skeleton and movement as I am right now. I feel the difference both during and after the sessions and value what I take away to integrate into my movement and other exercise routines.

Excellent instruction in a very safe environment 5/14/24
