I am interested in taking you offered course however I will be out of town and unable to attend the first session on 3/3. Will this course be offered any other time or are there any options around this date? Please advise, thank you 🙂
Hi Phaedra, I teach the class 3x per year in March, July, and October, and you can always make up a missed class the next round. There is a little bit of review and repetition in the second class that recalls info from the first class so you won’t be totally in the dark as we move on. Hope you can join in!
