Q. Do you train people with disabilities or learning difficulties?
A. Yes, our courses are accessible for persons with disabilities or learning difficulties, however please get in touch if you have any concerns.
Q. What should I wear?
A. We suggest that you wear loose-fitting clothes that allow you to move easily as we want you to feel comfortable while training.
- The venue has a wooden floor, however mats will be used at various times. We therefore suggest that trainers are worn until we are using the mats (which will require you to be bare-footed or with socks only).
- Please DO NOT wear trainers that do not fit properly or clothing that is either too tight or too long which may cause injury or tripping hazards. Good hygiene, especially clean and tidy feet and nails whilst on the mats is also something you may wish to consider to ensure the comfort of all participants.

A. The course is designed for a minimum of 4 and maximum of 10 so that we can dedicate more time to everyone.

Six-week courses (the first class being an hour and a half and all other classes being an hour in length);
