Seems like a beautiful space and I was very excited to try it. I signed up for their 2 week $52 (corrected) unlimited class pass. First sound bath was average. Second time I wanted to try a Yin Yoga class, I ran 3 min late and they said that they can't let me in because members had previously complained about people coming in late. I am all for aligning to certain values but isn't running a meditation studio about teaching to be flexible and adjusting accordingly to the situation?
I tried to explain that I just had a baby needed to nurse her, that the light turning left into the shopping area literally takes five minutes to turn green and that parking is not the easiest close by. That I had organized child care specifically to take this class and tried to get some compassion on how challenging it is to even make it to a work out as a mom. I then asked if it would be possible to just get reimbursed as it seems that this studio is not very mom/ family friendly. The manager would only reimburse partially as I had already taken the sound bath. I feel like reimbursing the full amount would have been the least they could have done considering the struggle I went through to go there without being allowed in.
They then offered that they would wave the $10 no show fee for not making it to class - this just left me speechless.
I was hoping to take their Meditation Teacher Training and to become a member but I guess their policy and very unloving approach turned me away and literally made me so disappointed and sad. I hope you don't need to experience this situation after just giving birth and finally making it out of the house.
Also wish they had 6 and 7 AM classes.
Hopefully I will somehow make it to a couple more classes and adjust this post if the experience will improve in the next two weeks. I am sure the teachers are lovely but the way its managed seems not compassionate and very...

Read morethe mindry 200 hour yoga teacher training gave me so much more than a comprehensive understanding of the yoga practice and the philosophies of the yogic lifestyle. the program gave me a community of like minded woman who inspired me each week and an opportunity to understand myself on a deeper level. it is no exaggeration to say that this program changed my life. janelle and adam were the most incredible guides to have on this journey and the structure of the program coupled with the magic soul of the mindry made this program one i will never forgot. i completely recommend this program to anyone in any walk of life and with any amount of yoga experience. it will...
