All online classes will be presented live on Instagram through our Instagram stories. These live broadcasts are then saved to IGTV for you to be able to access whenever you like! Our IGTV videos can be found on our Instagram feed.
Please note: We do our best to save every class we can, however, sometimes they can't be saved due to Copyright. We will advise you where possible to join the live class if we suspect the broadcast won't be able to be saved.
This is a great way to access free classes and keep yourself fit, healthy, and focused. Classes bring routine to your day, which is especially important at the moment.
