The space is very nice and pretty. I ended up attending two different classes, one was a reduced heat hot clasa and the other was a YIN class a month or so ago. The front desk staff are kind of nice, like they smile and greet you.
At the same time, there definitely is a odd snobby pretentious judgey vibe. I think when i said good bye, thanks when I was leaving she sort of stared right at me for 4 seconds before actually saying "good bye" which was weird. That same girl seemed to be sneering, snidely laughing and judging but who knows, maybe that's her resting face. lol
The reduced heat class was actually nicer at a lower temperature. Maybe because I'm a naturally warm person who overheats in general. The teacher was helpful and offered adjustments. I think the instructions could have been a bit clearer but it was all in all a good class.
I went to the yin class on a whim, not knowing what it was about. I asked the front desk girl if it would be too challenging for someone who has just gotten into yoga after a long break. She said yes, I will be fine, and to just go.
UMMMMM, the yin class is comprised of longer static holds and faster athletic type sequences on repeat. I had to leave half way during the class because I was also recovering from the cold. That's fine...it happens.
Here's where it gets REALLY WEIRDf: the instructor asks if I'm "fine" and i just said yes, it's a bit challenging for me, I didn't know. He LAUGHS, jeers and goes " you think this is hard, this is nothing," The entire class laughs, I leave slightly shocked and dismayed.
I shouldn't be shamed for leaving because I was still coughing a bit, and thought that long holds meant "more relaxing" lol...
When did yoga become a competitive sport where your instructor bullies you in front of the entire class? Is this BRO yoga? I guess the dude was an athletic bro..ha Yoga isn't supposed to be about competing but developing at your own pace?
Namaste?...maybe?
