Turned me off. I was planning on taking the instructor's class, but these numbnuts wanted me to have taken a year's worth of classes prior to signing up, even though I been practicing for years. Is it because they want to be sure I am really adept, or is it about lining the pockets? It is a "business" so I expect as much, but such policy should be made clear from the jump.
To their credit, they did return my deposit promptly, but it smells like another case "yoga for the rich yuppies stressed after hard work in the office". probably a great studio, but that particular instance is none too appealing to me.
