Cheryl holds space for her students to practice in a way that best serves them, all while ensuring that they understand the intent of the postures and maintain proper alignment. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a breakdown of how to safely modify poses or for those with neurological conditions looking to find comfort and awareness in their bodies!
