I was able to catch a live music candlelight class a few months ago at the west location. I felt the $22 fee was high, but not exorbitant given they were also paying a musician. I had been informed by many that the class leader was one of their more popular. The studio was extremely warm and just a bit uncomfortable. The class was large. The instructor was very nice, but there did not seem to be any direction to the program. As a certified yoga instructor I was taught how to design and pace a class. There was none of this. Seemingly random asanas linked together with not the smoothest of transitions. In a previous review I read about the overpriced merchandise and I have no problem with that as it can easily be ignored. Mat rental? I have never heard of this before though the response from YS was that it is not unique. It is gouging nonetheless. I teach at a facility which provides mats, straps, blocks and bolsters at no additional fee. To charge would be like asking someone to bring their own weights to Gold's Gym. My suggestion to Sherry would be to get back in touch with the local yoga "teaching" community. Experience what is going on. Compare and contrast with your competition. To charge those kinds of fees for nothing special is a poor decision at the very least.
