Thinking outside the box: Dream locations for classes

I was thinking about this. What would be an ideal place to have a class we wouldn't normally think of? I thought of one: A furnitue store, with cushy couches and chairs, and a big screen with DVD player, lol.

Anything else you can come up with?

The ocean!
When I'm a CBE, I am hoping to have classes at a dance studio space, with pillows and birth balls everywhere.

What about a picnic setting? A nice grassy hill with snacks, a huge blanket and pillows (or couples bring their own) for a nice informal setting. Ahhh, imagine doing the relaxation exercises out in the sunshine with all the couples laying on their cushions and watching the clouds while you play some soothing music.

oO(The best part: free venue!)

Okay, this isn't going to be totally 'out-of-the-box' answer...but it's my dream!

I dream of fixing up a cute little house to hold my classes and offer other services for pregnant mommies. I would paint the inside a soft mint green, put up wispy white curtains, have big, fluffy pillows and comfy chairs to sit on, put beautiful birth art on the walls, and have a book case full of wonderful books to loan out.
Someday......

Hey, like that one.. but instead of being on pool deck, b/c it will be to noisy being inside with the view of the ocean! with big windows! (plus you couldn't hear much outside) now this is too much!

I agree with the house idea. I would absolutely love an older house where the rooms are more separated than the newer houses. That way you could set thing up ahead of time in different rooms. Plus you could separate men/women or couples better. I love the idea that you could do labor stations in near privacy and really get into it better. yeah...some day!!!
