I've been to many yoga studios around the world and this by far was the worst experience.
I was hoping for a nice workout with some beer on the side to relax into my week. What I got was just unfriendly and rude treatment the whole time. The instructor knew everyone there so as a new student I would assume that I stuck out like a sore thumb. The instructor did not introduce herself to me or ask me for my name. She was more concerned that everyone on the roster matched everyone inside. Mentioning signing up via an app, when I said I don't know what app they have to sign up for but rather did so on the website, I was not given the information for the app and just then asked for my name to make sure I had already actually paid.
She then yelled out positions and thankfully I knew what she wanted because not always did she show the position but never gave alternative positions if something was too difficult. Just said to go to child's pose if you can't do it.
I was so grateful when it was over to get the hell outta there. I did not feel welcomed, I came to relieve stress not be a punching bag for an instructor who was having a bad day.
I will not be coming back or recommend any of my friends on going. read more
