We paid for 3 sessions and 2 were cancelled. I don’t think we got a refund. The one class was great though

I could go on and on about how great it was but you can just assume that we loved the group and I will just list a couple of constructive thoughts here – There was a knitting group at the bottom of the stairs during one of our circles and the sound amplifies up the stairs super loud. I actually think most people didn't mind, but I'm not able to tune out background noise so I basically couldn't focus at all on what everyone in our group was saying! When groups get above probably 8 people I personally get really shy and the dynamic changes for me. I don't know if it's realistic or sustainable or even a good thing for most, but smaller groups or sub-groups are much better for someone like me. Our second group was really focused on birth plans (or whatever I'm supposed to call them). My wife and I had a couple of fairly late miscarriages after which our only "plan" was to have a baby. So we got less out of that group than the first one. Probably the exact opposite for many parents, but just to share our perspective! I'm absolutely nit-picking. Space is great. Instructor incredible. Tons of warm support. Zero judgement. Would recommend to anyone.
