"I HIGHLY recommend this class!
This class is so much fun and will make you leave happy, glowing, and fit!"  ​~Martina Wagner, Chocolatier & Mother of 2 

"I just came back from my first class at The Everything Space (64 Main Street) and it was so much fun. Abbi is such a fun and responsive teacher and the class was safe, fun, and inviting- not usually something clumsy, shy, me says about movement classes. Even though it is called "natural fitness" this class is about moving and having fun in your body- it doesn't feel like a workout, even though it is. I can't wait to go back next week.  Maybe I'll see you there!" ~Michelle Acciavatti, Compassionate End of Life Guide at Ending Well
