In Studio and Outdoor Classes
Our in-studio classes are held at The Studio Athens, a performing arts space located at the Chase Park Warehouses (160 Tracy Street, Unit 8 ). We are right next door to Canopy Studios. Some classes will be held at in Studio 3, which is to the LEFT of Canopy Studio with a teal door.
There is parking in front the The Studio, but if those spaces are full there is a parking lot to the left of the building.
When we offer Outdoor classes, they are typically held at Bishop Park (705 Sunset Drive). We usually have class on the grassy area by the picnic shelter. Turn RIGHT in front of the gym after you enter the park, then drive all the way down to the picnic shelter and we will be in the grass by the trees.
Absences and Makeups
ABSENCES: If you know in advance that you will be absent from class, please let us know so we can make note of your absence. When you notify us about an absence, we open your spot for someone who would like to schedule a makeup. You can schedule absences online in your registration portal!
MAKEUPS: Makeups can be scheduled provided there is space available in the class. To avoid overcrowding in classes, we limit makeups in each class. PLEASE NOTE! Because many people wait to the end of the session to schedule their makeups, it isn’t always possible to accommodate everyone. Please do your best to schedule your makeups earlier in the session. You’re welcome to schedule a makeup before a scheduled absence. Makeups must be completed during the session you are registered for.
To schedule your absences and makeup classes, please use your registration portal.
