  Will update if I get a better experience:
  
  This rating is for the instructor, Linda Kuo. There were 5 things I really didn’t like.
  1. I showed up there for my first time, and at the front desk right in front of me this instructor asked, “who is (name)?” And the receptionist explained what she looked like and said “she’s a regular. She comes all the time..”
  The instructor laughed it off and walked away. Didn’t acknowledge the fact that a customer was standing right in front of her. That was very unprofessional to me.
  2. The system was having issues with getting my information in there, so it took a while and I had to walk in the class a couple minutes late. Not a big deal- the class hadn’t really started yet. But when I walked in, she didn’t acknowledge me or look up or anything. It just didn’t feel welcoming at all,
  3. She started meditative breathing in the class, but as she was instructing us to inhale and exhale, she was playing with her phone! I gave her the benefit of the doubt, like maybe she was changing the song, but when I opened my eyes again, she was looking at her phone and laughing. Ugh. Extremely unprofessional in my opinion.
  4. I couldn’t understand was she was saying. She has a very thick accent, which is okay, but she moved very fast and corrected no one.
  Occasionally, she would walk around the room and sound off the poses, but didn’t help anyone that was struggling. Most of the women there looked like they knew what they were doing, but there were two of us (myself and one other girl) that were clearly confused.
  5. This isn’t about the instructor, but more about the set up of the room and the class title.
  Because I had to come in late, I took the only open spot which was next to the window. Which I thought was perrrfect! How nice to be able to look out at market street while doing some flow yoga, right?
  WRONG. Holy cow that spot got hot!! I was sweating my soul out and got pretty slippery, which didn’t help my novice yoga body.. The class was not called hot or warm yoga, so that is not what I was expecting. The lady behind me moved to the other side of the room, but there was not space for me to move too, so i was stuck. Maybe for the non-hot classes, the studio could invest in some blinds that pull down? There was a reason that most people were on the left side of the room.
  When I walked out and talked to the two (very friendly) ladies at the front desk, one mentioned that the 930am time slot in the flow yoga room gets hotter than the hot yoga room does!
  I would definitely have appreciated a heads up, so I could’ve had my mind right? Maybe the would’ve helped.
  Or switch the rooms or get blinds.
  
  Anyway, I purchased the 30 for 30 so I can try out different instructors and different classes and will update my experience if it changes, but for now it’s definitely a 1 star. I even allowed myself to cool off (literally and figuratively), before writing this review.
