WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"Erin gives clear instructions, great explanations, and I seemed to give me details about an exercise just when I needed to hear them. The video had a good pace, helpful cues, and pose modifications. The hour seemed like 15 minutes---yay! Erin is really good at giving cues that are positively reinforcing, not critical."
-Russ Wallace, Postal Worker. Roanoke, VA
