Is a rip off. The teachers are not on par with yoga instructors elsewhere. They are not even remotely fit. The classes get cancelled willy-nilly without announcement. Their students are people who don't know better.

I really like some of the teachers and classes but the professionalism leaves something to be desired. It really sucks to walk all the way to the studio and the class is cancelled, with no notice on the door and no email sent. It would take 5 minutes to send an email to everyone registered as a student and yet no one thought to do that. I will use the rest of my pass but not sure that I would repurchase based on tonight's experience.
