How It Works

Dropping in is simple. Reach out to us ahead of time to confirm class availability and share a bit about your experience. Once you're booked, arrive a few minutes early to check in, meet the coach, and get settled.

You’ll join the regular class, which may include a warm-up, technique instruction, positional training, and live rolling, depending on the session. Bring your own gear if possible. If you’re traveling light, let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
