Please let us know 72 hours BEFORE the start of the class or workshop and we are happy to reschedule you if possible. Another option would be to send someone in your place, please email us with the name change if doing so. We often hold specialty workshops, so rescheduling isn’t always a possibility.

If you cancel with less than 24 hours we will NOT be able to offer you a credit or reschedule. This includes Illness, COVID, traffic, daycare, change of plans.

You will not be seated if you arrive more than 10 minutes after the class or workshop start time, even if you let us know you are running late; we are not able to hold up the class for you – it’s not respectful of the instructor’s and other participants’ time. Moreover, If you arrive late, you will miss the beginning and foundations of the rest of the class, which will make it challenging for you to follow along during instruction.
