Shefayoga Roosevelt — Local services in Seattle

I don't know if it is appropriate to 'review' a specific yoga instructor, but I do find it useful for students who would like more insight on the class they might take. I visited Shefayoga and took a 730p Power Vinyasa class with Natalie. She was a joy but talked way too much for my liking. I use yoga as a quiet, meditative time where I am allowed to be introverted. Natalie had a lot of conversation during class, including making comments about the internet, memes, and other things that I tend to shut out when I come to my mat. I have to deal with people and life all day every day, I come to yoga to check out. She also spoke a great deal during our balancing sequence. As a RYT myself, I was trained to use that time to be quiet, to allow students to find their drishti (yogic gaze/focal point) and I found myself frustrated because I couldn't focus!!! If you like a more of a social aspect to class- this might be it for you. There is a lot of talk and laughing which is fine if that's what you are looking for. As for me, I prefer to check out, and trust that I will be guided straight through a full 60 minute practice

I appreciate Natalie's enthusiasm and wish her the best! I will be back to try other...

I signed up for a monthly membership at this business through a third-party app called MINDBODY. I assumed I would be able to cancel the membership through the same platform, but there was no option to do so. I even tried removing my payment method from MINDBODY, but it didn’t work, and my credit card was charged for two additional months.

During those two months, I did not attend a single yoga class, yet they continued charging my card. I reached out to the merchant, and they initially promised to refund at least one month’s charge. However, after waiting for a week with no progress, I followed up and was told to email someone else. After multiple calls and even visiting the location in person, I was still bounced around between different people with no resolution.

My request is straightforward: I want a refund for the two months of charges during which I did not use the service. It is unreasonable that I cannot cancel the membership through the same platform where I signed up and that the business is refusing to process the refund they originally promised. This has wasted a significant amount of my time and energy without...

Took Sylvia's Power Vinyasa this morning, and she was a very informative and effective instructor. The space was clean, and check-in was super easy! The first part of class featured an efficient and dynamic warm-up, followed by a powerful flow series. I loved how Sylvia emphasized our personal freedom as students and that it was our practice. She built in time to work on static poses and gave tailored personal feedback. She held space for us as students to learn new techniques and poses — something you don’t see all the time at other yoga studios. The class was a great mix of challenge and focusing on yoga foundations. The heat level was also great, not overly hot but just enough to deepen the flow. It was a very empowering and physically challenging class with something for all experience levels; it definitely stands out amongst other yoga studios in the...
