How Group Training Is Formed
Small group training is organized with care.
​
Most groups are formed with 4–6 students who share a similar schedule and learning rhythm.
​
In some cases, when 2–3 students are ready to begin sooner and schedules align, a smaller group may be arranged.
​
There may be a waiting period of approximately 4–6 weeks before a group is confirmed.
Next Step
Schedule a short consultation to begin.
Waiting List & Early Reservation
After your consultation, if you feel this program is right for you, you are welcome to reserve a place in the next available group.
​
Students who register are placed into a small group waiting list.
​
Once four to six students are aligned, the group is confirmed and a start date is finalized.
​
Students who prefer a more flexible or immediate start may consider private training.
Reserving a Place
After your consultation, you may choose to reserve your place in advance.
​
All new students begin with a short consultation before reserving a spot.
​
This ensures the program is a good fit and helps us coordinate groups more effectively.
A small deposit may be used to hold your spot while the group is being formed.
If You Prefer to Begin Sooner
Some students choose to begin with private sessions while waiting, depending on their timing and preference.
​
This allows you to start building a foundation, and later decide whether to continue privately, join a group, or combine both.
