YogaSix Carlsbad - The Forum — Local services in Carlsbad

I wish I could like Yoga Six. Its close to my house and its a nice enough studio. Clean, decent teachers (not exceptional but good) and plenty of parking make it convenient. However, they are sticklers on the start time and have no problem refusing to allow you in if you show up on time or as little as 1 minute late. Not only do they refuse to let you in, but they welcome confrontation and hassle their customers.

One Sunday morning, I was excited to go to yoga and chill and caught every single red light on the way to the studio. As I rushed up to class, I walked in right at 9:00, NOT even ONE minute late, and the girl at the desk refused to let me in the class. As I was looking in the studio asking her to politely allow me in the class, I noticed other yogis still rolling out their mats and preparing for class just seconds before I walked in. The attendant continued arguing with me and proceeded to blockade herself in front of the door and refuse to let me by. As I watched the minutes pass by, I asked her why she was arguing with me relentlessly when instead she could have easily let me in the class and she then pulled me in another studio to continue the arguing. It would have been SO much easier to make someone's day instead of try to ruin their morning, but I guess that's just the way that I think. There was another Yoga Six employee at the desk who watched everything that occurred and felt terrible. She came up to me and said I will comp you 2 classes for all the grief, and I'm really sorry.

The following week I called the manager to inform him of what had happened and how I was badgered by his employee. Instead of being extremely sorry for what she did, he told me that he watched what happened on video and that I was never allowed back at the studio. (What a joke--as if I'd ever want to return to a place like that) I couldn't believe the customer service and how rude the male manager was and how he blamed the whole thing on me.

Anyway, do NOT go to this studio if you want a relaxing and zen experience. Read other Yelp reviewers: they have mentioned a similar story....and Beware! This place still sends weekly emails of specials/free classes/ deals and I wonder why? Maybe because they treat customers so poorly and there are so many wonderful yoga studios in the area (Corepower, Mantra, Yoga Tropics.) Don't waste your time and money...

If you are one minute late to class! They don’t let you take class. Manager said no cancellation fees when I signed up. That was false! Luckily they still waved my cancellation fee! I was late for my first class at the hidden forum studio! The studio is literally hidden! The front desk person was extremely rude about me being 1/2 minutes late! On a day it hailed in Southern California? She Acted like she was doing me a favor for not charging me for not showing up on time? Then had audacity to tell management I showed up more like 7/10 minutes late! Which makes me look bad when I emailed management asking what there policies are? This place is the farthest thing from a yoga studio. There is no room for growth. They teach the same class every single day! So if you like simple, plain , same and no growth! This is the studio for you! two stars, because it would be a good studio for someone who is a beginner and never wants to advance there practice! Teachers are solid!...

I moved to Carlsbad from the east coast within the past year, and I spent months trying out various yoga studios to find the best fit. YogaSix Carlsbad at the Forum was by far my favorite, and I signed up for an unlimited membership so that I could come all the time! They have such a great variety of classes- both heated and non-heated, Bootcamp and sculpt classes incorporating weights and cardio with yoga, as well as vinyasa, hot, power, restore, and slow flow. I really enjoy the mix of classes and all the options depending on your mood and the day. I love their classes so much that I recently signed up to do their Sculpt instructor training.

The YogaSix instructors are all incredible- extremely knowledgeable, friendly, creative, welcoming. It is such a wonderful community. The manager Whitney and Program Director Cat are terrific, and are so good at what they do.

I can’t say enough positive things about this studio! If you haven’t tried a class there, I...
