1. Please warm yourself up well at home. Online classes may only include a moderate warm-up if any.
2. Be somewhere in your home where your internet connection is the strongest.
3. Please find a private place to work. Class work is private and even online we should treat it that way without anyone else in your household listening in or viewing the work. Everyone is on the honor system to protect the privacy of your fellow students.
4. Please be without distractions. If you cannot do the class without interruptions, we recommend passing on it, or if you have an obligation in your home like a child or loved one, just log off the class midway if necessary. Parents who wish to be close by, please feel free while allowing sufficient privacy for your Teen to participate on their own.
IMPORTANT RULE:
* Our same rules regarding privacy we adhere to inside the studio apply online and we do not want any of what we are working on to be posted online or shown to anyone who is not in class. Please refrain from screen shots or recording of our session.

Per our discussions in class we are looking at these documentary series specifically to witness the unfolding of the back story of the subject of the show and what behaviors it caused the subject to manifest as an adult, then how the circumstances they currently find themselves in cause a new set of behaviors to cause conflict with their learned behaviors.
