The Reception Service

We were unable to get through to the club by phone, but on arrival, the team promptly greeted us and was very welcoming. A detailed orientation of the space was offered and we were asked if we had done yoga before.

After the session, the team were engaged when discussing the package options but were unsure of some of the prices.

The instructor arrived early and started the class on time, explaining the details of the class and checking if clients had any injuries.

Once up and running, the instructor created an upbeat and light-hearted atmosphere in the studio, providing individualized advice and adapting the movements and positions where needed, ensuring the poses were at the correct level for all participants.
