A NOTE FROM JARED:
Ready to dive deeper? Zero Balancing I is such a fundamental course to continue professional and personal growth. Whether taking this for the first time or repeating again, each time you reengage the material deepens substantially. Whether a skilled professional or someone new to the work, this class always has depth to offer.

As a bonus, this class will take place right at the beginning of the Lunar New Year! Kick off the year of the Fire Horse in a beautiful and meaningful way. I look forward to you joining for a sublime weekend of bodywork and community.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: 
Zero Balancing I is the first half of the Core Zero Balancing program and the first course of the Core Zero Balancing curriculum.
