I started coming to STL for the Sunday morning Hakuna Matata class with Danielle at the recommendation of a friend. I usually attend once a month. I’m a larger-bodied person who is not incredibly flexible. I have limited mobility in my toes due to several foot surgeries and this also affects my balance. From my very first class, Danielle offered alternative/modified poses that would be easier for me to hit, in live time. She didn’t have to do this, but she did, and that feeling of being perceived and included has kept me coming back. She made me feel comfortable and welcome. You don’t find that at every exercise facility. I recently attended an evening class offered through a local exercise group (City Girls Walk!) and Danielle remembered who I was and what class I regularly attended, despite my sporadic attendance. It was incredibly heartwarming to be remembered. Thank you Danielle and STL for making me feel safe and comfortable!
