Classes run throughout the year and are generally held at Still Point, Broad Street Place, in the centre of Bath (next to the YMCA), five minutes from the bus and train stations.

All the teachers are qualified in their relevant fields, and although we will draw on a pool of knowledge, the aim is to offer continuity and support throughout the course. Many people undertake these courses as a professional training, however because of the personal growth and the satisfaction of discovering about others and ourselves, many students have just enjoyed the journey.
