My guardian angel must have been watching over me this morning finding your channel! I was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and my body is seizing up. I loved this video - it has released so much stiffness in my hip and also rid me of some negative thoughts. Thank you so much.

I want you to know how much I enjoyed this workout. It's safe, and effective. I'm 67 and experiencing pain in my shoulders, probably due to arthritis. Your workouts are tremendously helpful in relieving pain and stiffness. Thank you for helping seniors like me.

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

You're so welcome Jean. I’m thrilled that you are enjoying my workouts 🤩

[@ChittarupaYoga]

It's great to find something that works for you, isn't it? And she's got so many options.

[@R3APERxG1RLX]

I have been in a rut so I was looking for gentle movement. The idea of releasing stress totally appealed to me. I felt so good after this workout, the next day (yesterday) I did your Walking Weight Loss and today I did your new Upper Body Strength, which I loved. You're gentle way makes me want to keep going. Thanks for providing such great content and sharing your wonderful talents with us!❤

[@SeniorShapeFitness]

I appreciate your kind comments so much! Glad you tried and liked this workout as well 🤩

[@janiscrary4833]

Personally I found the word somatic brought me in. I have been taking a course on somatic self resilience for dogs with trauma and reading a book on the body keeps the score. There was a difference in this time spent together. More than stretching, more on the lines of combining meditation, affirmations and body awareness. Thank you for this change and release.
