I've been practicing for about 5 years and was an everyday student at a number of studios around the country and in Orlando. The nonsense started almost immediately with the forms and the haughtiness at check-in. It continued with pontification during class meant to remind clients that their pampered lives were occurring against a backdrop of world suffering. There is little correction or demonstration, just a bunch of blather about how we could drop ""your frustration because you didn't have enough foam on your latte"". (I started laughing out loud at that point.) When the class was over, they have a receiving line where you have to go past the teachers and engage in mutual appreciation, not completely unusual, but the effusiveness of the two owners made my skin crawl. Not a great place to learn and way too much attitude for what they do.
