  Rude old female instructor with short hair at the Cronulla Studio!
  I bought a voucher for my 65 year old mother this month to try yoga for the first time at this studio for the calming effects and stretching.
  The first night was with a beautiful young lady who would softly come up to my mother and assist her with the poses (being her first time, there is a lot to learn and it is confusing.)
  The 2nd night my mother went there, she was loudly spoken to in front of everyone....stating she was NOT to do the poses the rest of the class was doing or she would hurt herself and not be able to walk the next day. The instructor did not quietly approach her and show her what to do, but chose to loudly chastise her in front of the class.
  Whilst my mother thought this was rather rude to almost yell from the front of the class, my mother, somewhat embarrassed remained in the class and was then approached by the instructor, who then loudly asked the lady beside my mother..."Is she deaf or something!" My mother heard her and stated, yes I am slightly deaf.......The instructor said "Yes I thought so!"
  As my mother had had one class with a lovely younger lady and really enjoyed it, she again thought she would attend again in hope that the younger instructor would take the class.
  When my mother arrived, she sat on her mat next to a friend and began to quietly chat (as others were before the class had started). My mother was then approached by the old female instructor who approached her closely and told her that she did not want her disrupting the class again by doing poses that were bad for her. My mother told her that she was new to yoga and not familiar with the poses, and asked why as an instructor she was not being shown instead of being embarrassed in front of a class. My mother got so upset that she left the class before it began.
  I am so angry and disappointed that my mother would be targeted like this, and to have an instructor make rude comments about being deaf is a disgrace! Your class timetable states it is open to all levels of participant, and walk in's welcome. The most disappointing thing is that when searching for a studio, I looked for one with good reviews which I thought this one did.
  You should not even call yourself a yoga instructor.....what a rude person you are. Thankyou very much as my mother will now not ever try yoga again. What a bully. No wonder you need to have Groupon vouchers to promote your yoga studio when you have instructors like that!
  Don't waste your time with this studio!
