In the event a parent wants to bring their child, and the child will not take class, there is plenty of seating available in the studio. We kindly ask that any observers, children or adults, do not disrupt class.

    If recording your own videos, please:

    • Be mindful of others around you.

    • Ask for consent before posting if your video includes other participants.

    • Avoid disrupting the class to film.

    When in doubt, check with the instructor before recording.
