A SHORT GUIDE TO HELP YOU PICK THE RIGHT LEVEL FOR THE GROUP SESSIONS

Please take a moment to read through the levels. We’re doing our best to keep our group sessions fun, balanced, and enjoyable for everyone. If you’re unsure about your level, it’s best to start with a lower-level clinic and move up next time.
