Shine FAQS:
1. Do I have to pre-register for a class? No pre-registration is necessary. Just come on in a few minutes in advance of the class you wish to attend to fill out a quick registration form, and you're good to go.
2. How much is it? Your first class is just $10. Drop-in classes thereafter are $13, but you have many options for purchasing class passes (now all passes are good for one year!)
3. Should I bring a mat? If you have a mat, please bring it. Otherwise, we have mats you are welcome to borrow.
