Many of you have submitted suggestions into our suggestion box, and we wanted you to know that we have heard you.
Here are the suggestions that we have received. As you can see many address the same issues.
TIME
Suggestions:
"A Friday 5:30am class"
"Friday 5:30am class please"
"A Friday 7:00am class"
"Sunday noon class to be moved back to 12:30pm for those going to church"
"More 8:30pm classes on Tuesday & Thursdays"
"Add 6:30pm class on Friday "
Response:
As you can see, many are asking for additional classes. We love to hear that and are so ready to add classes, but until we can get at least 10 - 15 people per class at every class, we will hold off on adding extra classes. We need to grow our studio more before we add classes. As far as changing the noon class on Sunday to 12:30 or any class for that matter, we have to take many things into account. Right now the majority of people preferring to keep the classes consistent is larger than those wanting a change. We are funny creatures. We get used to a routine and tend to stick to what has been established.
TYPES OF CLASSES
Suggestions:
"More Express Classes"
"More Express or 60 minute classes"
Response:
We would like to add some Express classes during the week. Any suggestions please?
HEAT
Suggestions:
"TURN DOWN THE HEAT"
"Please Keep the Heat between 105-108. Keep it at Bikram Standards."
"Put curtains inside the Studio doors. It would reduce drafts when people pass through the doors. It will also help reduce heating costs."
Response:
As you can see, some like it moderate and others find it never hot enough.
We all have preferences for the heat of the room. We, as teachers, do everything we can to keep the heat between 105-110 degrees and the humidity between 40- 50%. These are the Bikram Standards.
TEACHERS
Suggestions:
"Today was the first out of several classes that I did not like the instructor. The instructor could not recall how many sets we were on. It was very disjointed."
Response:
Thank you so much for the feedback on teachers. We always strive to give the best class possible to students. As students, you devote a lot of time and energy to your yoga practice, as we do as teachers. We will take the information that you have given and try to perfect our dialogue and focus on giving the best and most focused class that we can when we step onto the podium.
It is important to note that if there is someone who is "pushing our buttons", we must be aware that everyone is a reflection of ourselves. What we see in others that we like and appreciate we see in ourselves that we like and appreciate. Conversely, what we see in others that we do not like or appreciate, we also do/be/are.
FACILITY
Suggestions:
"Fix shower in women's bathroom. The 3rd one is very slow water."
"If you have longer hair and you wash your hair in women's shower, please clean out the drain of all of your hair."
Response:
Again, we appreciate your feedback. We will make the adjustments to the studio. We try to keep a clean and well functioning facility as well as an aesthetically pleasing environment.
Thank you so much for your suggestions. Please keep them coming.
