Levels

Be fair in choosing your level of practice; no need to challenge yourself by going to a level that is too high. The objective of a course is to fully enjoy the content and the transmission offered! Upgrading is the best way to miss… the point.

Finally, please note that the international teachers will deliver the courses in English.
