SIGN UP FOR A CLASS

COVID UPDATE: To ensure safe studio procedures, our classes are all considered "private."  Each class can accommodate 1-4 participants. We ask that you only sign up with others who have been in quarantine with you. We will be limiting hands-on instruction from our wheel instructors to keep social distancing throughout the class.

NOTE: All participants MUST wear a mask during their class. We are also BYO-apron at this time to limit cross-contamination between classes. (Pro Tip: 2 towels, one for each leg, also works great!)
