Assessor comments / feedback to student: Danielle has a lovely way of teaching, she has great understanding of each exercise and why she is doing them, she was able to modify the exercises as someone has knee pain and elbow pain. She demonstrated the exercises when needed. And had fantastic cues during the class. A lot of focus on keeping the alignment and core engaged. She has been doing reformer classes for years herself and is now going to be a fantastic instructor.
