FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


 

How to reach the studio?

Our studio is easily accessible by metro. Our closest station is “Siilitie” only a few hundred meters away. You can plan for routes and consult ticket prices etc at Helsinki public transportation website: https://www.hsl.fi/en

 

Helsinki also has a convenient city bike system during summer: https://www.myhelsinki.fi/en/see-and-do/activities/quick-guide-city-bikes

 

There is a SAKA car dealership store in the same building, our studios are on the second floor.



 

Is there a kitchen at the studio?

We have microwaves and fridges available, so you can bring food and it can be heated. There is a basic kitchen, but we are so many that we cannot cook with stoves etc.

 

It is a good idea to bring a pre-prepared meal to heat for lunch each day. The nearest grocery store is about 1km away.


 

Is it possible to book a spot only in (partnering / floorwork / etc)?

Unfortunately not within this event. For FLIP we take participants for one week or two weeks of intensive training.


 

Is it possible to join only for a few days?

We only take participants for a full week or two. Other than FLIP we organise shorter workshops, usually in May and November, and we run a regular Sunday class.


 

Where to stay in Helsinki?

For the full FLIP period, there are available AirBnB’s not far from our studio starting from 55€/night if booked now (Feb). That would probably be the most convenient option, and also the cheapest if you’re travelling together with a friend.
