Class Schedule

Currently most class are hybrid (in-person and/or online) or online only but there is one in-person only.

Please see below for which class offers which options including location of in-person options.

All online group-class options are via Zoom.

The advantage of my virtual group classes is that you get to exercise at home but you still have some of the same camaraderie and fun you would get when taking a group class in person! The advantage of my in-person classes is hands on corrections and being able to get out of the house!
