Who leads the classes
Erin Schillace, Marie Sadusky, Mary Waldron, Jake Panasevich and Kara Slayton teach the most classes, and about ten facilitators lead the schedule in total. The studio is small, and most of its classes are an hour long, so a single visit gives a clear sense of how a session runs.
