Will I be needling and be needled in this workshop?
Absolutely! These courses are more than just point location – Drew will want to see you needle so he can help improve your needling technique. Practise makes perfect! This also means you will be needled by your partner. Bring a trusted fellow student as your partner and take the course together!
