Ann has exceptional teaching techniques and relatability. [She] was exceptional in the way she taught...explaining and repeating movements so that new students (like me 😊) and more experienced students could follow well. It was a mentally and physically challenging class. Thank you Ann for your instruction methods and patience!

Ann is amazing. Her voice is pleasant and well paced (I have a hearing impediment.) She exudes calmness and concern. I felt cared for. She noticed that I was struggling in pain and she took the extra few moments during her instructions to guide me with chair modifications.
