The stretching – across the spine and chest – felt so good. And I hadn’t felt so relaxed for a long time.
Thank you for your classes, I really enjoy them and get a lot from them.
Just wanted to say thank you for running this course! Can’t believe how fantastic I feel, I do feel energised and I can’t wait for next week :) Many thanks again.
