Elma lights up every room, she walks into. She challenges us and makes class fun. She warmly welcomes everyone into the studio with smiles and hugs. She’s positive, warm, and so very talented. Her flexibility, defies, gravity, and I look forward to each and every class I take with her. She attracts incredible people into her classes and into her life. She’s  the type of person you want to be around. My body has changed dramatically having taken her barre classes twice a week for a year now. I look forward to them and she has made me more committed to improving my strength and flexibility. I can’t say enough about out this amazing, inspirational woman.”
