Studio Policies

Cancellation Policy:
Private lessons canceled with more than 24 hours notice will be refunded, minus a 5 USD processing fee.  

Payment will be required in full for Private lessons canceled with less than 24 hours notice.

Group class cancellations will be refunded minus a 5 USD processing fee.

Exit Clause:
Students and coaches both have the right to discontinue training at any time. 

Students are always welcome to increase or decrease the amount they are training, and their choices will be respected. 

Comportment and Safety:

Respect yourself and others to keep class as comfortable for everyone as possible.

If a topic ever comes up for discussion in class that you would prefer to avoid, you can privately message your coach in the zoom and they will move the conversation away from that  topic.  No explanation necessary.  

Avoid commenting - positively or negatively - on the appearance of your own or other’s bodies in class.

Warm up your body properly every time you train.  

Take good care of yourself in and outside of classes, get any injuries checked out, eat nutritious food, get enough sleep, drink water, and support your body to do this intense training as safely as possible.  Keep up with any assigned exercises from PTs. If an area of your body is hurting you, address it! 

Contortion shouldn’t hurt. If training is hurting you, please alert your coach immediately!  Differentiating sensations is a big part of contortion safety, so keep paying attention to how your body is feeling as you train, and stop if you feel any pinching or pain.  These are signs that you may be doing an exercise incorrectly or there is a different underlying issue that needs to be addressed before proceeding.  

Thank you for reviewing the studio policies :)
