We do not discriminate in any way in regards to what classes you hold, what style they are, or how the public may view what you have to offer your community. The tradition of our space is to practice complete openness towards our community and the needs of members of our public to seek a safe space for their practice or public offering. Whatever your use of the space; as long as you abide by the law, and respect the space and those who share it with you, you are welcome here.

Things to be aware of:
Not handicap accessible (must walk up one full flight of stairs to access space)
Downtown is lovely and we are only a couple blocks from the downtown shelter. You are welcome to lock the door while your class is in session.
We only offer street parking, which is not usually an issue since there is a lot of parking in the area, especially during typically non-business hours of 9am-5pm on weekdays.
As you are an independent provider, you must provide your own payment processing, booking and appointment systems, and so forth.
There is Indian “Hindu” artwork on the walls.
Our floor is pretty old (but we love it for its character).
The heater works really well, but it takes 15 minutes or so to heat the space up in the colder months; in this case we advise arriving early (you do not have to pay for this time).
The bathrooms are shared by our friends at Presence Studio.
We are just down the street from Pure Bliss Desserts; this can create problems if you’re trying to reduce your sugar intake.
We are not particular about how you use the space, but we are particular about you leaving it how you found it.
Our space is not a registered non-profit, but it has a “co-op” type cost structure in that no profits are taken from it. We all take care of the space to save costs on cleaning, repairs, etc.
