At Luna you are welcome to watch your child during the training sessions to support and encourage them. If you choose to leave your child during the session, please return at least 10 minutes before the end of the lesson and let the coach know who is collecting them.
During sessions, please be seated in the designated waiting area and do not enter the aerial space at any time. Be respectful of noise levels, other people in the studio and coaches. It is important that you do not try to instruct your child or any other person in the studio, this should be left to Luna coaches who are trained and insured to run the lessons.
