I haven't taken classes there, but spend a lot of time at No Coast due to my kids and husband attending. The welcoming atmosphere there is second to none. There is a women's only class that you may want to start in as a way to 'get your toes wet', otherwise there are classes at varying times throughout the week.
Absolutely. Most classes are mixed-gendered, but there is a women's-only class on Friday evenings if you are more comfortable with that. Everyone is treated very well here; you will not have to worry about your safety at all.
