A head & neck injury I sustained due to the negligence of this yoga studio, changed my life as I once knew it.
I wish I could tell my whole story, but it's just not realistic in a review.
Suffice to say, the class was instructed to do an ADVANCED move that should have never been done in a normal class. (Didn't know it was advanced until a classmate who rushed me to the hospital kept repeating that)
I not only required stitches, but suffered frontal lobe trauma as well as a severe neck injury. It severely affected my professional life as a hairstylist & my personal life physically. I was at the height of my fitness cycling, lifting heavy, Pilates for mobility, very fit & active lifestyle.
I talked to the owner, Kelly Harris, who informed me THEIR LIABILITY INSURANCE LAPSED & HADN'T BEEN RENEWED.
But in good faith, she assured me she would make things right.
We kept in contact and she kept telling me to wait until my treatment was over. All this time she was in contact with her lawyer. I trusted her. I was unable to obtain a lawyer of my own, as once they heard the studio had no liability insurance they denied coming aboard.
My treatment was extensive and by the two-year mark, she was no longer "responsible" according to her attorney (she stopped communicating with me once she knew I was past the statute of limitations.) She never offered one cent toward my treatment.
I lost clientele not being able to work due to severe noise sensitivity, still suffer from concussion symptoms, numbness in my arm from the cervical injury, and continued ear ringing. I couldn't keep up with my bills, $10,000 in loans & and eventually had to move to adjust financially.
I suffered from depression, eventually needing medication, I'm still not the same.
Although I have made peace with my situation, I cannot stress enough, for your own safety, DO NOT go to this Pilates studio.
If the owner doesn't see the importance of keeping liability insurance active at this type of business and in addition would lie to one of their clients who was injured on premises, what else would they feel comfortable turning a blind eye to? In good conscience I had to leave this review. read more
