We suggest arriving 5 mins before the class (though an instructor will be there 15 mins before). This means you can chat through any questions you have or just lay down and get comfy before the session. Remember: there is a 15 minutes lock out policy so if you are not at your class within 15 minutes of the start time, the door will be locked and you will forfeit that class credit.
