YogaOne Studio

So far I’ve taken classes with Kimberly, Ali and Tamar.
overall experience/​ambiance created by studio: 4.5 stars
instructors I’ve taken class with:
Kymberly: 4 stars
Ali: 5 stars
Tamar: 2 stars
When I’m home, I try for a sampling of MKE’s studios, and this one’s usually first on the list as it’s the neighborhood yoga studio, just a few blocks from our house.
This review is specifically for Tamar, whose class I took today. Overall a disappointing experience. The class was advertised as «mixed level» so I brought my mom, who is a beginner. Tamar offered several one or two modifications, but aside from that the class was anything but mixed level. My mom was discouraged and pretty disoriented. The instructor’s cues were confusing and she didn’t articulate any anatomical alignment points. No adjustments, and a pretty listless sequence, with the instructor forgetting the entire hip sequence on the left side.
I understand these things can happen to anyone, and perhaps the instructor just had a bad day. But what I found most disappointing is the apathy toward her beginner student. She didn’t follow up with my mom after class, nor did she ask her a single question, although it was pretty apparent my mom had struggled the entire time and left a bit disenchanted. As a yoga instructor myself, I would never leave a student unattended in this manner.
I do have to say that the other instructors at this studio presented a much higher level, however, and I will continue to explore and encourage my mom to return to see others as well.

Took the drive out here for my yoga passport from Omtown yogis (great deal from a great group!). Glad I did, my friend Deanna’s Sunday class is great. I’ve also had classes w/​the owner and they were quite challenging and inspiring.
Space is beautiful, just not a fan of the insense… bugs my allergies. :(
Was worried about finding it but isn’t too far from Bayshore in a strip mall behind a residential area. Worth the ride out there!
