Great studio with varied classes and wonderful teachers

Ive enjoyed all the classes Ive attended at Yogavenue and am definitely a convert to hot yoga after experiences at Hot26 and hot yoga flow. I also loved Relax and restore class - what it says on the tin. Great way to unwind from the weekend and prepare for the week ahead.

The best!! Loved the hot yoga classes and friendly atmosphere

Unfortunately, there was some sort of DISCRIMINATION yesterday where one of the yogis - Caroline Gozzi - felt the need to comment at my erroneously expressed loud thought when I was picking up some tissues to avoid my runny nose at the hot 26 training and I said, without much thought, (after was asked if I felt ok to train) of having the flu when I meant that I was congested from a cold. I didn't think this would escalate a disgusted reaction by the trainer and outing me at my very first visit to the studio by highlighting multiple times other people's potential discomfort and asking me not to participate even when I repeatedly clarified and expressed my own discomfort due to that conversation. As I expressed to the Yogi, I mistakenly expressed myself and got caught in a very unpleasant conversation. I re assured the Trainer that I am a trained scientist, and definitely wouldn't have came in case of anything potentially infectious. However, I felt no matter what I said I was being cornered, and truly after participating to the full session and witnessing love the Yogi herself struggling in multiple coughing attacks, and after not receiving any note of help nor attention during my first ever session it was very clear that the issue was demographical. This is a white people led studio targeting an only one demographic. NOTE THE AWESOME REVIEWS ARE MONOCHROMATIC! EXHBITS OF DIVERSE PEOPLE IF REVIEWS ARE FILTERED TO THE LOWEST SCORING, for example this copied review: "Karma Krishna 3 reviews 6 years ago Unfriendly and rude female owner. I have had several unpleasant experiences with this lady, as have lots of my Oxfordshire friends. She in unwelcoming and patronising. I wanted to try on some clothing but was turned away sharply one Friday evening (when others were in the changing room) because she wanted to go to the pub. Her husband is lovely, warm and welcoming. This is one of many incidents. There is no need to list them - but I feel that an open and rounded, accurate and representative review be made public. Manners and love cost nothing. Having a huge unpleasant ego is off putting and expensive." Even though I was very much looking forward to try this and was ready for long-term commitment, I definitely will not recommend this studio to the diverse demographical youngsters, not just minority people, as I really felt attached from the un recognised subconscious bias when they referred at me or to me. There is no excuse for such behaviour - if I could give no stars I would.

I have loved every single class I have attended at Yoga venue over the past 10 years. The teachers are all amazing and I always feel fantastic after a hot yoga class. Thank you YV
