Great instructors. Wonderful space. Always perfectly clean, organized and fresh. Lovely front desk people.
Space was really hot & sweaty from previous class--not enough time to air out. Mats jammed together. Instructor seemed good but class style was not right fit for me. Really disappointed :o(. That said, yoga advisors at desk very friendly and helpful.
Amazing teachers. I love misha' s and zander's classes. Also love the ambience the dim warm lights create, and thick yoga mats are the best.
Classes are too crowded
Easy. There needs to be a 30 min period of aireation between classes and a maximum number of participants regardless of time. Not sure about the benefits of yoga when all the oxygen in the room is fouled up. Also, people need to bring their own mattes. Hygiene.
Welcoming instructors and a beautiful space
-excellent location (adds to the experience, next best thing to doing yoga outside)
-instructors are:
approachable
incorporate all participant levels (explain options)
reinforce this is my yoga experience and to work within my comfort level
Great choice of classes and times. Excellent instructors and friendly competent staff.
Class offerings, flexibility of timing and locations, friendly staff, good teachers
i was given a free pass to try out Semperviva and when I arrived a minute after the class and asked if it was full, they said no there were lots of mats. When I went in was packed and there were no free mats so I has to squish into a corner and spent my whole class trying to see what the teacher was doing while avoiding getting touched by person next to me.
it was a very unpleasant first experience and I would rather they had said come back another time. I left frustrated and upset that I had used my free pass for a class that was too crowded and where I was so far back in the corner that I couldn't follow what the teacher was doing. so not a good first impression.
Friendly and helpful front desk staff. Knowledgable and kind instructors.
Friendly, welcoming
Friendly staff. Great instructors.
Awesome classes. Alli Storen's power flow is one of the best in the city!!
It's great that you can show up without having to bring a mat!
I think it would be great if you set up the mats in the room so that they're slightly offset from their neighbors rather than having them add exactly parallel to each other. I.e. Pull one row forward by Half the length of a mat so people don't bump into each other as they are forward folding and swan diving at Cetera
You have some of the most incredible teachers at Semperviva. I wish I could make time to practise more than 3 times a week but I LOVE going to Kundalini classes led by Klay, Danny, Carolynne, Syma, Tamara and Penelope. Recently I was re-acquainted with Tedi, Sarah Cutfield...Zoe, Alli, Jazz, Clara, Cameron, Helen...ALL fabulous teachers! Thank you for offering authentic yoga in many styles and packages.
More variety of classes.
More times (ie late morning or afternoon classes)
It's just a very busy and loud studio. Waiting for class to start I was overwhelmed by the noise of people waiting in the outer lobby. It's not what I'm used to in a yoga studio environment. But the class was great and the challenge level was perfect. I liked how Sarah C led all of the postures with breath and gave great alignment and consciousness cues throughout class.
beautiful studio. very approachable staff and fellow yogi's. Loved that it wasn't a fashion show and there was a wide mix of ages and genders. Loved the Kundalini class Gloria led on Wed. It was much more dancey than I'm used to but I love movement and felt fabulous afterwards!
Staff a friendly & knowledgeable!!!
I LOVE the variety of teachers. Its a great Hatha Studio. Whenever I enter into the studio, I feel like I am coming home.
Install a second washroom.
I do not like your policy of automatically charging clients monthly without speaking to them.
An email 5 days before the end of the month to confirm the client's wishes would be courteous.
I could hear people walking around in the neighboring space, and at one point it sounded like they were using a hammer.
I like the teachers that give good instruction for moving in and out of poses and help guide you inward by encouraging you to use your breath and notice what is going on in your body and also walk the class and give and/or offer assistance. I do not like the classes where the instructor spends more time giving a spiritual lecture than doing these things. Unfortunately you have several teachers (that I know of and I haven't experienced all of them) who do this. Spiritual lectures take ones attention away from the body and I do not experience the same (if any) level of relaxation that I do with the others - Diana,Ben,Tianne,Michelle for example.
It would also be nice to have a yin class during the day during the week - like Wednesday - taught by one of the quiet non-lecturing teachers.
It's getting too run down and unfresh. Also always vibrations and sounds from people's cell phones. You also always hear the voices from students waiting for the next class. Open another studio closer to Alma :)

The studio is very well maintained and super clean with all sorts of props. The front desk staff have always been very friendly and helpful. There is lots of free 2 hour parking in the area.
Offer more than just Hatha at sea centre.
More space in the classes and less of a crush in between classes. Otherwise perfectly perfect!
