Newbies :

Megha: Last of the newbies to arrive, started with scooting. She struggled a little initially, but after Harshitha corrected her posture and guided her, she balanced well.

Reshma: The aspiring Education masters student who is moving to New Zealand soon. Got the balance while scooting, then tried half pedaling, she will practice further at home

Ongoing Learners:

Aishvarya: Continue practicing scooting and is making good progress so far!

Amulya : Continued with zig zags, and then moved to circles and figure 8's, she is ready to learn signaling and turning next.

Anuradha : Continued with circles and figure 8's, she is ready to learn signaling and turning next.

Disha Murthy : Continued with scooting and half pedaling for a while and moved pedaling, doing well on downhill, struggling a bit uphill.

Dhanyashree : Moved to zig zags and turns today today.

Gudiya: Came after a break. She quickly picked up pedaling and got a good grip. She struggled a little on uphill pedaling and needs more practice.

Harshitha : Continued with zig zags, and then moved to circles and figure 8's. Harshitha also helped Megha with the basics. Good job, Harshitha!

Meghana: Managed to pedal well downhill, but struggling uphill when the slope gets steeper.

Ramya: Continued scooting.

Richa: Came after a break and practiced scooting, and a bit of half pedaling. Needs to get into the habit of using the brakes as there is a tendency to suddenly in a direction with speed. Also needs more practice in general as balance is not quite there yet and struggling to half pedal too.

Rudra: Continued with zig zags today.

Shweta: Did zig zags today, should be ready to do circles next.

Salma: Apart from doing few rounds, now helping with training !
