“Emily is an inspirational teacher and this class has become a huge priority for me. It’s a great workout but it’s so much more—fun, creative and a genuine community.”

Kathy, Age 74

 
“I’ve enjoyed being a participant in this class for several years now.  The class focuses on balance, flexibility, and strengthening many different muscle groups.  It also stresses fall prevention, which is important to those of use who are getting up in years.  But the class is more than exercise.  Emily brings to the class a joy and appreciation for our bodies and a conviction that all participants can do their best.  She is very encouraging and upbeat—truly a ray of sunshine three days per week.   If it sounds good, give it a try!”

“Emily is a wonderful and enthusiastic instructor.  I have been taking her Zoom Senior exercise class for a couple of years now.    She encourages us to go at our own pace and ability.  The class has especially helped me to keep my joints limber.  I highly recommend joining Emily's classes!”

Dawn, Age 71

 
“This class has been a great addition to my efforts at being able to keep enjoying my life.  The class is designed so that you get a lot of  full body movement, helping with flexibility and joint health.  In fact, I can now do things (reaching, bending over, squatting) that I couldn’t do before I started the class.  I also feel less arthritic pain and looser after class.  That should be enough but the real icing on the cake is Emily.  She brings amazing amount of spontaneous energy and joy to the class.  Even though it is entirely online she has successfully built a sense of community that I thoroughly enjoy.  Because of this I have found it easy to incorporate the class into my weekly schedule.  ”

Bob, Age 76

 
“I started taking classes from Emily after hip replacement surgery. I was looking for a way to continue exercising after finishing my physical therapy. It was my introduction to yoga and I was really bad!  But I became more flexible and had better balance over time.  I enjoy Emily’s teaching style, her gentle encouragement, good information, and a dash of humor.”

Linda, Age 73

 
“This class has really improved my overall health and fitness level. Flexibility, strength and balance all blended into one fun class! Emily knows how to create community and help keep us all motivated! ”

Wendy, Age 70

 
“I wobbled into Emily’s Zoom workouts feeling weak and vulnerable to falling, and within weeks was stronger, had less pain , and the confidence to stride into adventures again. I am incredibly grateful for Emily’s cheerful patter and consistency and am a healthier and better balanced person for attending her class. She herself is a delight, as is her workout community . Absolutely love the dance party beginning- always kicks me into a happy place!”

Joy, Age 70

 
“Emily creates a safe and happy space of support and non-judgement in her Yoga for Seniors classes. If you have been intimidated to try yoga but were curious, give Emily's class a try as she peppers her instructions with humor and helpful perspectives on being patient with yourself. The routine of poses are good for beginners but also great for anyone wanting to maintain a limber and strong body. If you want to keep being able to bend over to clean the cat litter box or pick up your grandkids toys off the floor with no complaints from your back or hips - you need Emily's yoga for seniors!”

Stacy, Age 61

 
“This class has helped me in so many ways, not only physically but emotionally as well. I no longer feel so isolated, as Emily has created an online community of like-minded seniors who just want to work out & have fun doing it. Emily's enthusiasm is contagious, and she makes me want to show up and get moving.”

Lee, Age 71

 
“My sister shared Emily’s exercise site with me and I was immediately hooked! This sweet gal  is a breath of fresh air….when I am lazy and don’t want to attend the zoom class, I do it anyway because I know I will be glad I did!  Works every time!”

Marsha, Age 74

 
“I had the misfortune of a serious injury in 2021 requiring 4 surgeries on my femur (in addition to a knee replacement on the other side).  Emily's class helped me through the entire process, supporting me both physically and emotionally in my healing. Now I feel I can face whatever life throws at me.”

Nora, Age 75

 
“I have taken both of Emily's classes since she started teaching them and have enjoyed  them and benefited greatly from them with both agility and balance. I fell on the sidewalk one time and was able to get up by myself and walk home. Her classes are great.”

“Who would have thought exercise for seniors would be this much fun! What I used to dread I now look forward to. I am grateful for the  benifits Emily brings to my physical health and positive outlook as I grow older.”

Dan, Age 78

 
“I have been a member of Emily‘s exercise class for over a year. Being older, it has helped me with strength and balance. I had previously taken a couple falls.  Emily makes it fun, so it’s not boring!”
