Dude, this place sucks. First, the fact that it's *the only* place in Strasbourg offering…read moreAnglo-Saxon-style 7/7 day classes is bad enough, though that's in itself a positive. But the teaching and customer experience remains resolutely and depressingly French. The teaching is top-down, heavy-handed, and rigid: teachers stand at the top of the class and call out to people; they don't move around, they don't perform adjustments, they don't talk to people individually and one-on-one... Given the prices (very high), it is just not value for money.
It feels like primary school: one teacher will comment on people aloud, as in "that's a little better than before but still not right" and "so and so isn't able to hold that pose and should use a blanket for support." It found this SO shocking that I suggested to her that people might want to be corrected one-on-one and she immediately became rude, aggressive, and defensive. It was thoroughly depressing to see how unresponsive she was to feedback, but also totally in line with the spirit of the place. Seriously, it's like a 1970s classroom - totally heavy-handed, one-directional teaching without any attempt to create a nice atmosphere or rapport with people in the room, nor adapt to their needs (or suggest they should adapt poses to their own needs, more importantly!!).
Classes are also badly lacking in creativity. I've followed classes in multiple cities and studios, and these are just the basic poses over and over. It's just... barren as an experience. Think school gym class rather than a place for people to learn, grow, and flourish. The fact that they are so embedded in their style as to not see it is more depressing still. Just don't.
Ambiance cours de gym de collège, profs pas pédagos pour un sou, pas approachable, pas chaleureux... et des cours à 30 personnes en plus pour maximiser les revenus. A fuir.
