Great course.
Love the plethora of exercises. I appreciate the instructors attention to detail and explaining how typical clients may perform the exercise. Very practical work for the aging population.
Appreciate the cues and balance work!
I really enjoyed the course. I love all the outside of the box ideas that were presented. I thought that Mrs Byrd-Leitner did a great job clearly explaining the exercises and why she was doing them. I feel we are starting to see the older population come into our studios and it is a really good workshop to help them get stronger, avoid falls or fall safely and live a long healthy life. Thank you!!
Excellent presenter very clear and to the point without excessive talking or over explaining
I really enjoyed this workshop. I work with a lot of aging bodies and it is helpful to find new ways to challenge them. Thank you!
The information and exercises are very useful.
Thank you! Curious if there are more specific instructions for giving the hands on assist for the pecs in segment 5. That would be helpful because it was very difficult to see how your hands were placed and how the client was feeling/responding.
Thank you.
I had not met Sylvia before, she is wonderful! Great plethora of ideas for aging gracefully!
Great workshop! Love the inclusion of some dance-class aspects in this programming.
I love Sylvia. No nonsense material and execution. Lots of stuff I can take right into the studio with clients!
Thank you for incorporating rhythm into exercises. And the concepts of getting up without hands in the floor as well as falling.
Great exercisesI like her focus and explanations..Will look for more workshops from her!
Excellent course
great workshop
Great class. I appreciated the compassionate approach.
thanks
I have several clients that need to work on balance and increasing mobility. These are wonderful exercises that can be easily implemented.
Thank you for the workshop which included a lot of exercise variations in differing positions to gravity. I especially enjoyed the rolling exercises in the beginning. We forget how functional and fun rolling can be.
That was great
Thank you!
I LOVE SYLVIA! She is a master teacher who exudes the combination of genuine caring and a professional demeanor. Sylvia is a unique and special human being!
Great class!
Thank you!
