Groups larger than 6 must arrange for private studio rental time:

  • Our 2023 standard rates are $75/hour for non-facilitated groups, and $100/hour for facilitated use for up to 10 participants, plus $10 per any additional participants. (We are often able to discount school groups or other non-profit organizations.)
