Need ideas on renting class space!

[~Tranquility~Doula]

This is sort of doula related.
I've been getting an overwhelming number of calls for HypnoBirthing classes. I've been teaching them at my home, but I can only comfortably fit 2 couples in my living room.

I've been thinking about finding a space to rent out so I can fit more couples but where should I call to ask? A doula friend suggested a yoga center and I think that's a great idea. Any other suggestions?

I'm really excited that there is such a growing interest!

Yes, you could call a yoga center, community center, chiropractic office to see if they can rent you space after hours. You could also look around and see if there are any natural type stores in your area who might be receptive to renting you some space as needed - same for health food stores. You could also check with the library, highschool (I know my kid's school rents out rooms for community use).

Girl/boy Scout center, WIC office, birth center, fire station (we had our last doula training at a fire station), book store with a back room (check with the used book stores too), baby/pregnancy/maternity stores. Good luck.

Tranquility - I have thought a lot about this too as I will be teaching Hypnobabies soon. My house will fit two couples too. I have thought about talking to the town to see if they will rent out space in the community center. Not sure how that will go over. I might also talk to the library or Whole Foods. Whole Foods has a little meeting room and I know that there are local babywearing groups that have meetings there.

I like the idea of talking to a chiropracter's office about space. Hadn't thought of that. Or yoga centers.
