Which Group Class Gets Your Vote?
-
You need to make it so people can only select ONE. Somebody has already voted for two classes
Angela Broadbent The thought behind having multiple options was that students might have more than just 1 fav group class. I’ll keep this in mind for the future. Thanks

Amazing classes conducted by such awesome teachers that it’s not fair to ask to pick one. Based on time zones, and other factors it’s not possible to participate in every wonderful class.
One of the most exclusive class offered is yoga philosophy by Sandeep Gupta … highly highly recommend

I agree Komal. Kriya, Pranayama and Meditation with Rohan and Iyengar are my favourites as well, and Yoga Nidra with Ankit. And Face Yoga - I do recordings of that due to clashes. I could never see any need to change anything about the classes, or even to put on more classes. I think most people would agree that the only problem they have with the classes is that there are so many, equally excellent, and we are spoilt for choice. I think this is just a survey to get an idea of the most popular class of all, and to get people engaged with this community forum and discussing, which it has.

I totally agree with Angela

Another problem with the platform is interference. There is sometimes background noise that can be quite distracting. That does not happen all the time, but it does happen enough for me to mention.

The biggest problem the platform is facing is of course to attract new members, so difficult since the studios reopened after covid. But I don’t see how changing classes or increasing the number of classes would help.
Angela Broadbent I think our issue is product related Angela and not market related. We get a lot of people coming in to try our group classes - and we get them pretty cost effectively. So the important thing is to ensure that the new users have a predictable and good experience. Old communities of course are our life blood - so we gotta take care of the new users without disrupting what is working.
This is the balance we are trying to strike.

Penny Powers Please give me some examples. We actually now have some tech solutions for this. kuldeep please respond!

Yin Yoga is my favorite class because of Anneliese’s various techniques such as her knowledge on the asanas, oils and meridians to assist that she brings to the class. I’ve been taking this class for 5-years now and have noticed the calm that it brings to my body and the positve changes over the years. Annelise is a very skilled & knowledgeable teacher who openly shares with her students. She gives several options on the asanas based on how your body is feeling that day and takes feedback well. Hands down her class has improved and enhanced my practice on the mat.

Anirudh One of the most helpful classes I have taken this year is Yin Yoga for Rejuvenation taught by Annelise. What I love most about her class is that she combines physical, spiritual, and emotional help. She explains things so well, offers multiple, multiple ways to accommodate each pose, and generally just has such a positive, encouraging spirit that it is contagious.

Penny Powers thanks for bringing this up, we will check on background noise cancellation setup on our teacher’s end.
Could you please share which classes you have faced this issue with?

Jitendra Gupta I am also wondering whether you send a brief email survey to students who leave the platform to establish why they left, with options to tick regarding their reason for leaving eg no longer practicing yoga/ now practicing live in studio/ joining another online platform/ dissatisfied with classes/ other reason please specify. I think this could be quite insightful.

Yin Yoga for a Rejuvenated Body with Annelise Piers has been my favorite class since 2020. It is not too strenuous, but is challenging both mentally and physically. Annelise gets to know the specific needs of her clients’ bodies and offers tips to deal with specific issues in a manageable way. I really appreciate the various poses offered to deal with specific regions of the body. Annelise’s teaching style is inclusive, approachable, friendly, genuine, and caring. The class helps me with mental and physical issues. My osteopath can always tell if I have missed a class!
Annelise is constantly studying and sharing her new learning with her class, adding value to her already extensive knowledge. Her classes are well-planned and linked thematically, a feature I appreciate and admire.
Yin yoga with Annelise has helped me immensely with my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
