See you in September!
With the dog days of summer winding down and unpredictable weather patterns moving in, I am uncertain how much longer I will be able to teach my classes outdoors. Sadly, I may have to close up shop in October. It has been a blessing to be able to teach once again and a joy to meet so many wonderful people!
Due to the current pandemic I have strict guidelines for social distancing and must limit class participation to four students.. Text (928)460-0032 or e-mail psingelyn@hotmail.com if you are interested in scheduling one of the classes listed below or choose a convenient time to schedule one of the classes listed above.
