Once I am on MindBody Online, how do I register?

If you have never set up a MindBody Online accont, create a new account. If you have a MindBody Online account, log in with your username and password.

Once logged in, the current week’s class schedule will appear. Click on the "Sign Up Now" button next to the class you want to sign up for. To sign up for a workshop, click on the "Workshops" tab and click on "Sign Up Now." Follow the instructions to register.

Yes. We use the term "Pre-School" to refer to children up to the age of 5.

Do I need to pre-register in order to secure my spot in a class or workshop?

Yes, by doing so this will secure your spot as there are capacities for both classes and workshops. You may drop-in without pre-registering, but there is no guarantee that we will be able to get you into a full class or workshop.
