Sati Yoga & Wellness — Attraction in Atlanta

I was really excited about this being my first ever yoga class , but was extremely disappointed at how unprofessional my instructor was . I am a full time YouTuber so at times I'll take a 10 second video of whatever I'm doing. When I pulled my phone out the instructor I had asked me to put it away very rudely. I quickly apologized explaining that I did not know ( because it was never stated prior to class) . She THEN continued to keep going , talking to me like a child . Saying that this is "her content" as if that was my intention for recording. She made me go into my phone and delete it . Then she took another step by telling me to show her my recently deleted, invading my privacy. I also want to mention I did this at the last 5 minutes of class . The problem is that I felt as if she was defensive about me trying to "steal her content ". I was the only African American already feeling outta place . For this to be a place of zen , you should not have instructor's that have nasty attitudes. I had no problem putting my phone away but talking to me the way she did , embarrassing me in front of the whole class and invading my privacy is not an experience that I would have wanted .her excuse for being snappy with me was because someone had came and posted her content on YouTube . Just because someone came in and did that to you before . Doesn't mean EVERYONE is coming to do that . Please respect your new customers because you never know who is coming in . And if you want no recording you should have a sign and state that before...

I signed my daughter and I up for a class at Sati and it was a great experience. Before I signed up I contacted the studio and Kali was super helpful getting me registered and signed up. the process was easy and the App they use for booking is really cool and easy to navigate. We signed up for the Wednesday 6pm Class with Rue. we got there early and met Rue. Rue is really friendly and welcoming. He gave us a run down on his back ground, what we would be learning with his classes, and his views on yoga's benefits of the body, mind and soul. He asked us if we had any injuries or ailment we would like to address and I told him I was recovering from a hip injury. Rue basically broke down the whole anatomy of the hip for me. seriously, he was more informative than my orthopedic doc was. the actual class was amazing. Rue is a great instructor with lots of knowledge. i really like how he would explain how each pose and move effected the body and mind. he included certain posses to address my hip issue and pointed out that i should take them home and practice them for homework! over all it was a great experience for my daughter and I and I highly recommend this place. i look forward to attending...

Great studio, new for me, Dr Kali, fantastic owner & her Yin yoga classes etc are so soothing & she has a lovely disposition. However I had the bizarre experience & misfortune of trying another instructors (Anna) flow zen Friday afternoon class; arrived 2 minutes late from Lenox after stuck accident on highway. Class was fine, ok, she mentioned the Halloween special at end. Went to change, then walked to front desk with my mat etc in tow, smiled at her saying hello. She looked at me with disdain, rudely ignored me as if I was invisible! I was so taken aback gathered my things and quickly left, just soured my mood rest of the afternoon. So be warned if you are a melanated woman stick with classes taught by us here to avoid being belittled at end. I’ve been doing yoga over 25 years at first studios in country in NYC, Bali etc. Then adding insult to injury check my email to see she literally or someone “canceled me” from the class a few hours later, as if I was actually invisible… after I spent time, energy and burned gas to attend!
