Assessor comments / feedback to student: Anthony was brilliant, I can tell that he has done a lot of classes and a lot of work on the reformer. He’s very aware of alignment and gave great adaptations. He used good breath work and nice visualisations through out the class. I would recommend Anthony to start teaching straight away. As he’s doing to make a great instructor.
