We will take you through a comprehensive and fun day where you will learn….

Pre_requisites:

If you are carrying any injuries, using medications or have any medical conditions that may adversely affect prolonged physical activity and heightend stress/tension, please let me know the details in the comments section of your registration.
This will prove to be very popular so please only register if you free and committed to attending the session.
I will communicate more details including the exact location and how to get there to all successful participants.
