NEW! Yes, it’s finally happening! This year we are launching group classes for adults (for now only for the main winter break). They run at the same time as kids’ school (in the morning, 10:15am-12:45pm) so you have time to send your little ones to class and meet them after class! You can choose from 1 to 6 morning sessions, groups are small, instructors are cool! See you in Gudauri! More info here INFO
