Registration Requirements

The coronavirus pandemic has changed all of our lives in so many ways. Zero Balancing classes are no exception. COVID-19 has impacted the manner in which we are able to offer in-person ZB classes and has provided new challenges in how we safeguard the health of our students, our classes and our faculty.

In order to register for this class, you will need to have read and agreed to the Covid In Class Protocols and Guidelines and waiver.

In addition, we have updated our Terms & Conditions.
You will need to acknowledge and accept prior to completing class registration.

The registration process for this class requires either full tuition payment or a promo code indicating that you have made arrangements to pay the teacher directly. Contact the teacher if you want to make such arrangements.

We are thrilled to be teaching Zero Balancing at the Gainesville Retreat Center, located on 150 acres of undeveloped land trust, this center is intentional space for wellness, yoga, mindfulness meditation and more in the deep forest.
 
COVID update:  Both Carla and Megan are fully vaccinated. Given the current rate of COVID-19 and the Delta variant in Florida, we will be following all CDC guidelines for healthcare practitioners including:
  • All participants will wear masks while indoors.  Thankfully the retreat center includes a large screened porch.  Much of the teaching will be on this porch, allowing for unmasked socially distanced classroom time outdoors.
  • All participant will wear masks during table work, both indoors and outdoors.
  • Asking students to disclosure their vaccination status to both the faculty and fellow students.
  • Participants may asked to take a PRC COVID-19 test in the 3 days prior to the class, depending on transmission rates in October.
