The yoga classes are great. The instructors are knowledgeable. The space is fantastic.
Let me tell you where 2 stars comes fromā¦
First of all when youāre sick donāt show up. When youāre getting over a sickness, donāt show up. When you think you might be sick, donāt show up. If one of your kids is sick, but youāre not sick yet⦠Donāt show up!
Iāve been a Fitness and yoga instructor for 21 years and that is always been priority number one. When the instructor is sick, we donāt make money. When the students are sick, we donāt make money!
The instructors at the yoga center of Denver, have an obligation to keep their students safe and healthy when they enter their classroom when someone is coughing kindly ask them to leave. It is not rude. It is not unkind. Everyone in the class will be grateful that you did it.
Do not ask them to āget into a tight circleāfor a deeper spiritually positive whoo whoo connection. If someone wants to distance themselves, they have their reasons! And whatās unique about this place is that its classrooms are so big that in some classes, the students can spread out and have a safe distance from breathing other peoples potentially sickness. The instructors here need to take advantage of that!
With that said, the woman who was coughing next to me, gave me sinusitis and pneumonia. I imagine there being more than one person in that class who contracted this! Itās brutal. Worse than Covid⦠And I wouldnāt wish it on anyone.
Itās flu...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMr. McEllen's review is surprising. The instructor, Lisa, and an assistant were very helpful and attentive in the group class. I think if Mr McEllen was slightly more assertive, he'd have received the personal attention he seems to expect. There were no more than 9 people in my group class. I called in January. I was diagnosed with a serious chronic autoimmune disease that affected my nervous system and muscle function. I was referred to Lisa, one of the owners. She started me on private lessons due to my situation. Over the last seven months she has helped me prepare for a double surgery (which cured my disease); she was extremely conscientious about my issues, injuries and limitations. After surgery we worked around the affected areas and with great benefit. I had also suffered from chronic lower back pain for most of the past four years. The slightest things would set it off. I attended my first public/group yoga class ever yesterday. Lisa was the instructor. I am back pain (and pain med) free for almost 4 months; and more mobile than I've been in many years. For $10-16/class, I don't think I've ever had a better return from anything I've ever done before...ever! This is a no brainer: well trained, caring and dedicated...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWent in for a Level 1 class with Lisa Beckwith Wolf, was my first time at this studio. As I looked up directions I thought I would check out reviews, and found a negative review for this teacher and thought maybe I signed up for the wrong thing. Went to the class and must say my experience was very positive. The person up front was very helpful and guided me to their change room, water fountain, bathroom and the room the class would be in. The students there were very nice, you could tell they were regulars, they pointed out what props are normally used, where to leave your stuff, which way to setup. Worth mentioning is that I asked these questions, but the people there were very helpful. Lisa was very thorough, asked about injuries, and was very attentive to the students. She was very knowledgeable and cued me more than a few times to improve the pose I was in. The class overall was very much alignment based, which is exactly what I was looking for. I really enjoyed it and hope to...
