Schedule

We love to see you in the studio but that’s not always possible for lots of reasons so you can choose between joining us in the studio, live online or via catch up in your own time. Space in studio is ltd – adv booking essential for in studio sessions. We’d recommend you aim for at least 3 live sessions per week if possible.

Benefits of taking part online

you can take in your own time to suit your schedule but still build a regular habit
the ability to pause and watch, or rewind sections for a greater understanding
the ability to repeat classes + access to online classes til end April 2026
the privacy of being able to build up confidence in your own home which can give you the confidence needed to come to class
the ability to contact the teacher for advice or clarification. This isn't just a nameless programme - you can access a real teacher.
