The Yoga Bar - White Rock, British Columbia

This branch was still replying to me so I thought they were open. On the MindBody app, you’ll still see schedules and book them so I did (I originally book downtown, but since it closed and I don’t want my credits to expire, I booked Surrey). However, I found out WhiteRock branch also closed because they’re not paying rent.

There’s a newly opened one in Homer, anyone knows if they are operating?

I searched for aerial yoga when I moved here, and this has been one of the best things to happen to south Surrey and white rock. From speaking to the ladies at the front desk, and the kind instructors. All the classes I’ve attended are so good! The instructors are very knowledgeable and thoroughly follow the covid protocols. It’s always a fun class, and after every class I feel good, and happy that I showed up. There’s a class for everyone. Aerial yoga, L.A.A.B Endurance Training/Pilates, Sound Bath, and Trigger Point Ying.. Highly recommended! I love the yoga bar! And the evening classes come with beautiful sunsets if it’s not raining.

I am extremely disappointed with the experience I’ve had with your studio. Despite multiple attempts to reach out — including phone calls (which went unanswered), emails, and even messages through your Instagram account — I only received a response after contacting you on social media, and even then, no real solution was offered. Instead, the responses came across as dismissive and unprofessional.

I have now been charged for three months without authorization — totaling $504.00 CAD. To make matters worse, there was even another attempted charge for April, despite the fact that I had already contacted you about this issue after the first incident. This is unacceptable.

The handling of this matter, especially via your Instagram account, has been disappointing and lacked basic customer service. I feel misled and taken advantage of.

I am formally requesting a full refund of $504.00 CAD and immediate confirmation that no further charges will be made to my account. I NEED A SOLUTION NOW!

Closed the downtown location without notice, refused to give our money back. What the hell happened to the place we used to love? It taught me to not again expect something in good faith from a business, unfortunately.

I am beyond frustrated with The Yoga Bar. They suddenly shut down without any warning, leaving those of us who had purchased class packages completely in the dark. I had just bought a multi-class package, trusting that I would be able to use it over the coming months. Now, the studio is closed, and there’s been no communication about refunds or next steps.

It feels like a total scam—selling packages right before closing their doors. There was no transparency or notice given, and now I’m out a significant amount of money with no way to get it back. The lack of professionalism and respect for their customers is shocking.

Avoid this place at all costs. Their shady practices and sudden closure speak volumes about how little they value their clients. It’s been a terrible experience, and I wouldn’t trust them again.

Reposting my review of their other studio here to warn all students! Please do not make any further purchases and make sure to not leave any personal belongings behind as they are probably about the randomly shut down and you won’t get a refund!

From my yaletown review:
Cancelled every single class with no warning or explanation at all. I am disappointed, but not surprised. I have been going there for three months and there was been at least two occasions that I know of where the instructor/studio just didn't show up or open for classes and there wasn't any explanation there either. I have emailed them about why they cancelled all my classes and they have ignored my email. Update; they still have no explanation and have refused to refund anyone who they owe money to. Please check the yaletown recent reviews!!!

Again, I have been going there for three months and in that time I have never witnessed them cleaning the floors between classes. One time I noticed that someone left a face wash on the floor of the shower, and when I came back a week later it was still on the floor but had hair and soap build-up all around it, meaning the shower floor hadn't been cleaned in over a week.

There are many things broken in this studio that don't get addressed by management. For example, in the middle of a Barre class, one of the brackets of the bar snapped and injured a fellow student. The window broke another time so it lets in tons of cold air which means the heated classes aren't even hot anymore. The fan broke so there is no air circulation in the room. The bathrooms often run out of soap, conditioner, shampoo and even toilet paper. Some of these things have been broken for weeks and I have not seen any attempts made to fix them.

This isn't to say they don't have great instructors! My favourite instructors are Louis, Marcus and Victoria (except she mysteriously quit one day). I hope these instructors will move to a more professionally run studio soon so that I can continue to take their classes at a better-run location where the studio isn't overrun with hygiene issues and damaged equipment.

I started going to The Yoga Bar back in 2020, and the studio has been my second-home since. I fell in love with their wide variety of classes, from Hot Yoga, to Ariel, Barre, Circuit Training, Deep Stretch, and more! All the teachers are very knowledgeable and the studio has a very welcoming environment! Something that I love about The Yoga Bar is how diverse the studio is, and how the staff and teachers cater to everyone, no matter what fitness level you are. I highly recommend checking out this studio if you're looking for a welcoming environment to work out in!
