"After participating in Joanne's Awareness Through Movement classes, my movements feel more fluid. I become very relaxed and more flexible. It's a wonderfully unique feeling of being physically 'free' and very connected to my body."

"In the most gentle, soothing and inclusive way, Awareness Through Movement is like a guided meditation facilitated by Joanne. To feel the result of lengthened limbs and opened joints is nothing short of miraculous, and something I have not experienced anywhere else. My wife says I look like a different person when I come home from class, and I feel like one too."
