At Good Vibrations we have an education department that coordinates and oversees our After Hours classes, the rigorous in-house staff training, and a team of dedicated individuals that give outreach workshops.

But it’s not always easy to play your part when you haven’t got the right costume, a problem which plagues those of us who are bigger than the so-called “standard sizes” found in most clothing stores and catalogues.
