This was my first Dabble experience and it was a great way to start! The class was everything and more that I was hoping for – my boyfriend and I learned great tools and techniques we will use moving forward to relax and reconnect. Additionally, we loved the space where the class was taught – it was warm, welcoming, and included some inspirational pieces (like Buddhas, prayer flags, etc.) to help get and keep us in the right mindset for the afternoon.
