Is the studio wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, due to the pre-existing structure of the building, we regret to inform you that our studio is not wheelchair accessible. There are 3 steps up to our front entrance.
Where can I park?
Since our studio is located in Downtown Hamilton, there are many paid parking lots and street parking spots a few minutes away by walk. Closest would be behind our building, you can download the app Blinkay to quickly pay for parking (recommended to save time), or find the parking machines within the lot. The closest public street parking would be along Catharine St S (between Main and Hunter).
