What do you like about our services?

I love the Redfern studio because it is initmate and a beautiful space surrounded by greenery. The teachers have a very special relationship with the students that nurtures our confidence in our selves and our love of yoga.
BTW I was checking with Vicky when I finally came back (after my last class of March 26th) that my membership had been frozen. I only ask because my membership was live when I turned up on Wednesday rather than having to be reactivated.
Thanks!

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

Classes at Kirrawee have not returned to pre-covid schedule. Teachers have not returned. Amazing teachers have disappeared and replacements have been below standard. Lost the vibe from last year. Feeling like the Fitness First of yoga & Pilates

What could we do to improve?

You need to increase the frequency of the classes across the week and weekends
The 6:30 classes are too full often can’t get in.
Need more 45 minute classes

What do you like about our services?

Only had one class so not a lot to go on. The receptionist was very helpful, friendly and welcoming and gave a good tour. The yoga space was well prepared and easy to set up to Covid safety requirements. Mandy was a very experienced instructor and the class met all of my needs as I’m returning to the activity after a long absence. The change rooms need a little sprucing up but otherwise a very enjoyable experience

The Studio is a bright and delightfully relaxing space. My usual practise is in Surry Hills and whilst I was on holiday in Byron I decided to take a reformer class. My teacher was warm and welcoming and it just felt like home <3

Hi Team,

I love the studio, the teachers are fantastic, and Amy is exceptional! Both are doing a fantastic job in a difficult time, and I commend all their hard work!

My main issue is the lack of open classes I can get to. I know it's not the full timetable, but the only classes currently available to me are Essentials classes, and I'm finding I'm losing all my strength and core that I built up during the shut down because of the structure of these classes. The only other option is online classes. While I love those classes, I love immersing myself in the studio atmosphere more, something I can't get at home.

Just my observation, but I noticed the essentials classes were packed for the first nine weeks. When we went into the new cycle, I wondered whether we would kick into an actual class or start again. In the end, we reverted back to the beginning. I then turned up the next week and the class was half the number as the previous weeks. While essentials is an important class for beginners, I don't feel there is a bridge between the essentials and open classes. I find there are no options for people who aren't strong enough, scared to try open classes, or just wanting a relaxing class. I don't feel there needs to be so many essentials classes, but that might just be me. I feel some of the essentials could change to a chill flow, a yin, or an easier open class while making sure that the teacher is offering all the different options for different levels. I'm not sure if that's where you may need to focus as this is a new environment because of COVID, and personally I find I can go to the online classes and get the class I want. But I would much rather be in studio.

When I started yoga, it was in an open class, and I just picked it up. Later, I did beginners classes, which were beneficial, but these were four once a week classes, which was perfect.

I'm also noticing the open classes have dropped back in numbers. As someone who religiously did an online class 5-6x a week during lock down, the biggest thing I noticed coming back to the studio was that the classes were completely different, in both how they were before lock down and different to the online ones. I know each teacher teaches their own way which I get and love. What I mean by that is in the online classes they offer handstand, headstand, core work etc. They always offer variations of poses for different levels, and I found I was able to challenge myself and build my strength and core up to a place I haven't been before. Each class was different and all were dynamic and unique. I did multiple poses I have never heard of which was great!

I find the classes in studio since we returned, excluding some teachers, lack the dynamic level they once had. They don't really give the options for the different levels (some do) but it is also a very similar class each week that doesn't vary greatly. In their defence, the reduced class times, (one hour instead of one hour, fifteen mins) leave little time for inversions, plow or shoulder stand etc. Also, teachers that teach multiple times a week tend to teach almost the same class. Like I said, this is not all teachers but it is something I noticed.

When Power Living closed and you had the influx of students (myself included), they found the different teaching styles hard to adjust to, and most didn't stay. I liked the challenging classes, so I thrived. But I also think that had a lot to do with the choice of either a beginner class or Open/dynamic class. There really wasn't anything in the middle. I feel that is still the case. Most of us went from doing a flow class everyday to do doing no flow at all. While I love the classes you teach, a chill flow class is still lovely to do. I miss the chill flow classes, and on the weekends, I find I don't get to studio practice unless I get up super early. I know you guys are trying to find teachers for weekends, but I really miss my Saturday and Sunday afternoon classes.

Sorry, I know big info dump, but as a former business owner, I know how valuable customer feedback is.

I just want to also say again the teachers are fantastic! They are amazingly technical and so good at what they do. I love coming to the studio and recommend it constantly. This is by no means a criticism of them at all!! I am just saying what I'm seeing. I hope it helps.

I’ve been coming here for about two years due to a back injury, the teachers are always modifying tasks to ensure it’s safe for me to do so. I really enjoy Mardi, Megan + Ellas classes! They all have a different style of teaching. Highly recommend

What could we do to improve?

I think everything is great, fit out, classes, staff, service.

Only feedback is

The website doesn't work particularly well on android. Pulling up the timetable is clunky

The price of dedicated yoga studio vs combining yoga and gym membership makes it harder to justify membership
