NOT EVER GOING BACK! DISTURBING ABUSE OF AN OLDER LADY FOR BEING LATE!!!!!IS BEING LATE A CRIME? The entire class sadly watched a nice older lady get totally abused and picked on by the owner, Eric Thuss, who was leading the Yoga class. The old lady came in a few minutes after we started the class, she was appologetic and humble for being only a few minutes late, and having just finished a doctors visit. She went to the back with her mat. I am writing this because it really bothers me how she was treated by Eric, the owner and teacher that night. I saw and heard what he did to her and knew Eric was in the wrong, and he behaved very innappropriately towards this lady. Eric yelled at her, saying "this was her first and last warning, for being late!" Come on!!! Ten minutes late!!!! Eric also added some other and mean comments about her being late!!!! THE TEACHER, ERIC WENT ON
PUNISHING AND BERATING HER! FOR BEING LATE 10 minutes!!!! PLEEZE!!!!!!!!!
HE WAS SO MEAN AND INNAPPROPRIATE TO HER, she was crying., and he really was being accusatory and harsh towards her. The class was quiet and also
of course very upset. The older lady went to the back, set up her mat, and SOON THE TEACHER ERIC WAS YELLING AT HER! SOMETHING LIKE SHE WAS NOT PARTICIPATING GOOD ENOUGH!!!!!! The lady responded with a request to leave her alone, and said the desk person said it was Ok or her to join the class 10 minutes late. Then teacher, ERIC KEPT ON BERATING HER ABOUT EVERYTHING!!!!! SHE WAS CRYING AND SHE LEFT! BECAUSE HE WAS ABUSING HER MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY and VERBALLY!!!!! She wisked by us and I felt so bad for her, wondering what why Eric was picking on her, and WHY WAS HE DISRUPTING OUR SPIRITUAL DEVOTION, OUR YOGA CLASS BASED ON COMPASSION. I have felt some peace in this studio before, but today, Eric ruined the energy of the class by abusing and assaulting this old lady. In my mind she did not deserve any of ERIC's verbal abuse. MY CLASS WAS RUINED! THE SPIRITUAL VIBE WAS GONE! WHEN ERIC STARTED ABUSING THIS OLD LADY!!!! For me it was over.
I AM NEVER GOING BACK TO THIS YOGA STUDIO! ERIC WAS NOT BEING SPIRITUAL, HE WAS ACTING WRONG AND INNAPPROPRIATE.Eric is also rigid, controlling and very perfectionistic, and is that really spiritul? I felt so bad for the old lady and saw her afterward, sitting at the restaurant next door, crying. I will never go back there, the owner Eric was rude and abusive to an old woman for being late and for not paying attention in class. The studio is nicely decorated, but the LACK OF LOVE SEEMS TO BE THE NORM. Its's also very Eastern, and if you are not into GURUS DONT GO......THEY PUSH THEIR RELIGION ON YOU TOO!!! That I didnt like either! But most of all it was a disruptive/non-spiritual class, due to the owners (Eric) rants on this older woman who came in late and did not pay attention, apparently good enough for him. I felt sorry for the lady, really, she did nothing wrong, but most of all Eric's arrogance and assault towards this old woman gave me a creepy feeling, that he was not a real spiritual teacher, and it was very disruptive, and after he yelled at her three times, everyone was upset.....the good energy was gone. This is upsetting and that's why I'am writing this blog, otherwise I am neutral.
I AM NOT SUPPORTING THIS STUDIO/PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS CORRUPT STUDIO!!!!!! read more
