Other Scheduling Info
We cannot guarantee class availability, locations or schedules.

In accordance with state regulations, One in-class hour equals 50 minutes of actual time. Lunch breaks are 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Students are permitted to miss up to 25 in class hours (about 21/2 days). Although the hours look long in the days please keep in mind, for half the time you are receiving massage therapy and body work, and for the other half you are giving it. With the pot lucks, hotel hot tubs and saunas we often hear the students compare our class to a "spa weekend getaway."
