My niece and I have had a terrible experience here...

My niece and I have had a terrible experience here this afternoon. The instructor was rude, forceful and self-centered.

The instructor told us not to leave the room despite us reaching our heat tolerance and comfort level. This is a petty and irresponsible engagement of adults in a yoga class.

I've been doing yoga for years and encountered many teachers.

During my visit in Dunedin I've searched with my niece for a wholesome venue to have a positive shared yoga time but ended up totally shocked and appalled at the experience we had.

There's nothing that I experienced today that was consistent with yoga values, like compassion and kindness.

Looking at previous reviews, this appears to be the culture of this studio.
