Kamal Yoga Studio 401 McCray Street, Hollister, CA 95023

"I had mixed feelings about signing up for hot yoga classes given the current Google reviews (I just don't want to get into politics). Given that I figured I would give this place a try. On the website it says the place is open and offers classes as early as 0600am. I booked online and ordered the 20 classes for $20. I arrived to the site (30 minutes away from. My home) and the place was locked. Dark inside with only a single car parked in front. (I called the number listed twice but no answer so I left a message. The voicemail asked that I give 24 hours for. Return call. Needless to say it's been 2 days and still no call back. I will be disputing the charge with my bank and will not try this place again due to inaccurate class information and failure to communicate"

"I am looking for a way to safely practice yoga during the coronavirus pandemic. I heard about this studio and checked it out. Looks like a really nice place and a good schedule. Except when I researched more, I found that the studio is open in violation of State of California and San Benito County health orders. There is nothing mentioned on their website about coronavirus precautions the studio is taking during their indoor heated classes. I checked out the studio owner's public facebook page as well to see if the website just had not been updated. She has two months of facebook live rants posted where she brags about refusing to wear a mask in public and all of the conflicts that have arisen as a result. She claims the conflicts around her are because others have forgotten or don't understand what love is, and she is the only one who understands love. Her bio on her website says only that she has been teaching for 3 years and has her first level RYT200. She has no other professional or education credentials posted. I decided not to take classes at this studio because it's not safe there and the studio is open illegally. But I wanted to share my research with others, so they can make an informed decision about whether this is the kind of yoga they want to practice or not."

"Nice atmosphere, good instruction and schedule with something for everyone."
