Trial
We do not offer single trial classes for a number of important reasons. A single lesson simply isn’t enough to experience the depth, structure, and benefits of our program. In our experience, the true value of what we offer becomes clear over time, not in just one session. For this reason, we offer a three-week trial period at the beginning of each term. This gives you enough time to form connections, feel comfortable in the group, and discover whether the class is the right fit for you.
Should you choose to continue for the remainder of the term, the cost of the trial will be credited toward your term enrolment.
You are also welcome to register to come and watch any of our classes, meet with Ian and see if it is suitable for you. Email us to book an audit today.
