Jill Elkenberry
[Norman Allard's Mind in Posture series is] changing my swimming and my drumming and my general well-being...my walking and my singing as well. And the list continues to grow!
Monthly Member Jacqueline Muller
[As a monthly member, I] am loving being able to take classes when I want[. Today I] went to the ropes class, [and] tomorrow [I] will miss class and will take it later in the day- you all have set it up in a way that really brings ease in terms of accessibility[. I] also am so appreciative of Norman’s knowledge and care for our bodies and his support for our wellbeing as I age and want to be strong, flexible and healthy.

In addition to keeping me going now at 86, with this work, I live with No Pain!
I garden, I do T'ai Chi, I walk and enjoy my body's movement indoors and out!
Before beginning my work with Norm, I had considerable back pain. It is not only a pleasure, it instructs me in my daily reaches, [and bends] . . . Continual Cheers, applauses, for Debra and Norm. My guides and source of wisdom for my Good Life!
HōM Student
This work creates a clearer pathway for my breath. It's unobstructed. So my tone is effortless and so much more confident. At age 75!
Randy Tate
I value the classes. They are a form of meditation for me as well as help with my physical issues.
Longtime Student and Bodyworker Joanne Christensen
I have been so impressed by the steps [Norman Allard] . . . takes us through in the courses. I find the verbal guidance and the sequence of postures and movements extremely effective in the posture course.
Ann Griffin
I remember in a darkish room, the first class, when I turned my neck, it brought tears to my eyes, I was so tight!
And all these years the subtle moves have steadily found their own rhythm, smoothness and gradual openings that are part of my heartbeat now.
I would not be enjoying all the gardening and dancing and hiking/walking, house cleaning . . . not to mention my love for life without your input. Your teaching is indelibly part of the fiber of life.
Thank you, Norm, for giving me all of this and more that only my tissues and bones and muscles . . .neck, back, toes and hands register.

Debora Kolwey
I stuck with Norman because I love his method. It’s one of the most satisfying, life-affirming, sanity-keeping things that’s been a thread through my whole life.
Virginia Lefever
I came here to chronicle a minor miracle--well, MAYBE a major one!
I went to my miraculous, super-talented myofascial worker on Friday. She did a standing assessment of my always-torqued pelvis, and then we started to work. Both she and I noted that [thanks to my work with Hierarchy of Movement], even after a long time without [myofascial] work, all I needed was a "tune up" and not the usual Humpty-Dumpty reorganization!
