Coming to class
If you are coming to Studio 8 for the first time you may want to know a few things.
First look at our Classes page to find the right class for you, email or call if you are unsure what class to start with.
We welcome drop-in students, but if you plan to continue it is more economical to buy a class card. Please be prepared to pay before class starts, we accept cash or bank transfers, no credit or debit cards. See our Prices page for more information.
After you are set you can change and get ready in our dressing rooms.
Mats are available to loan for your first few classes, but you will eventually want to buy your own. If you bring your own mat you may leave it in our mat rack after class.
