With rare exception, our classes are designed for everyone to be able to attend solo or with partners. Occasionally there are classes where having an exercise buddy is suggested or required. For such classes, you can come with a friend or someone you’re comfortable with. It can be, but is not limited to, romantic or intimate partners. If you are attending solo and wish to participate in the exercise, you may work with another solo attendee.

This is not a problem, while many of the lessons are described with variations ranging from solo practice to multiple person relationships, most exercises in class are designed for 2 people, to ensure efficiency and time management of the class flow. One of the people in your group will need to partner with another solo attendee. After class we encourage you to do the homework together.
