Class Location:  We do not publish a schedule of classes, because class location, availability, and level change as needed.  We try to offer classes in North, South, and Central Austin in the morning, afternoon, and evening--but all classes are not available at all times and in all parts of Austin.  Most of our classes meet 4 to 5 times weekly, with very few classes meeting less times weekly.  We offer several 7:30am-9:00am classes, although they may not be available at all orientations.  Please remember in order to stay enrolled in our classes, you must be present 75% of the time, so choose a class that you will be able to attend.
