Testimonials:
“I have been working with Phyllis over the past year and have found it transformative for me. Before a friend recommended AON, I had experienced a series of orthopedic setbacks and a number of surgeries, and had almost given up on improving my balance, strength and flexibility. Attending regular classes with Phyllis, and benefitting from her personalized attention to my situation, I have been able to see big gains in all three areas. I am so grateful to her for her gentle encouragement, deep knowledge of body mechanics, and for offering her courses….which are actually fun! I would (and have) recommend these classes to anyone who wants to develop strength, flexibility, improved balance, and improved overall fitness. For people facing challenges relating to any of these, Phyllis’ class is an ideal place to start.” ~anonymous~
