Our studio is an inclusive space that welcomes ALL. Please arrive for your class 10 minutes early and bring a mat (or you can use one of ours!) and full bottle of water. All additional props will be provided.
Our building's main entrance on 12th Avenue will be open during the day, please use the back entrance off of E. De Soto Street to enter the building for our evening classes. If our studio door is locked, please ring the doorbell at the right of the bright blue doors.
