Do you know that Urban Yoga has occupied Kepong & Plaza Damas Centre? From next mth onwards, we have to pay $88 a mth to enjoy the class ! So frustrated…. same instructor, same place and same class but now we have to pay again despite having paid thousand of ringgit to join as life member. Feel like being cheated but do not know where to turn to – consumer right or police report ? Is anyone taking action against Yoga Group ? I heard Tan Kok Wai from Cheras is taking a legal action ? Does it include all GC member or only Cheras member ? Maybe write to TheStar to voice out all our predicament, never sign any prepaid packages !

Yoga Jess posted an article recently on how to claim through the Small Claims Tibunal. You can read it here.

I called to all YZ outlets last week but nobody answer the call except YZ in hartamas and they told me they are no longer Yogazone. now is Urban Yoga. They said YZ member can come over for free until end of this month and next month onwards YZ can come but gotta pay RM88 per month….so unfair to exisitng member, just like myself- jined in June 08 and still servicing the instalment payment of RM 132. Urban Yoga has bought over Hartamas and Kepong outlet….i still remembered that the YZ founder, TJ has promised member’s right and benefits remained unchange after new management take over…http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/8/6/nation/22002120&sec=nation.

unfair for existing members pay RM88 again to continue joining the yoga…every month need to pay RM120++, now plus RM88, mean i need to use RM200++to join a same classes n in same places?
anyway, jus wait NOV2008, after the Cheras yoga reopen…
i like all the instructor at yogazone in Cheras… last time i was tot bout y some of the teachers no get together, invest some money and get their own yoga business? (now c your post jus realise stil have ppl same thinking with me ^_^)
so v can have a same quality of yoga train, expecially Penny…i like tis instructor very much. last time i always attend her class even in 7am early morning^_^…duno whr she teach now?

I am still paying the installment but…unfortunately i cannot join the class unless i pay for another RM88. These people are really CHEATING MONEY. Yoga should bring harmony, but what are they doing right now…so SAD. Now i still have to save money every month to pay for the fee.

Any news on whether the management gonna lower the membership fee?

I call to Urbanyoga last few day. They confirmed existing YZ members will not lower the fee. Existing YZ members need to pay RM88 per month or RM25 per class.

Where is Urban Yoga? Any contact?

Hi Sheron,
U may try to log in this website:

http://www.urbanyoga.com.my
The investors for Kepong, Cheras and Plaza Damas branches have take over the premises and named as Urbanyoga. All instructors remain the same. I have rejoin my yoga classes by paying RM88. No choice as they have the most flexible classes and good instructors in the market and suitable for office lady who work late.

urban yoga damas phone number is 6201 7888, cheras i think it’s 9130 8398 and kepong is 6258 3933

I finally join back the urbanyoga after thinking and thinking for few months and to my surprise my body was so stiff and it was like the first time I learn yoga…hmmmm it was fun meeting the same old yogazone members in cheras where we use to laugh and so on but the only bad news I heard was a 21 young girl was molested by the teacher in Kepong?Well, honestly now a days can’t believe who’s telling the truth words now a days?Young girls like to show off their sexy breast during the yoga classes and which man can stand watching it?There was a few time I noticed some young girls not even wearing a bra?Maybe they want to be Pamela Anderson??
If that 21 years old girl tak gatal,why is she following the teacher to his house?Im sure she’s interested at that male yoga teacher too?Do you think that teacher was so stupid wanted to lose his job just because of one girl?Honestly, we can’t trust any youngs generations now a days……she ask for it and she don’t get it and she blame the teacher??The ending was now,both of them sama sama gatal and bodoh…….

Wendy, do u know the name of that instructor in kepong? He get fired o not? Is it real happen?

Sorry Esther,
I do not know who’s the instructor and Im sure he don’t teach in Cheras because I did ask all our yoga friends here about those males teachers and so far coming 3 years Im at the cheras yoga centre,all the males teachers are ok including dr ameen or Pari,,maybe a bit weird sometimes but do not behave like ‘sotong hand’,everybodys say we do not know what’s going on between them?Only both of them know,if that young girl was so stupid going to a man house alone,then she’s memang bodoh and gatal…..

Thanks Stella… I already join back Urban Yoga

Hello….i am nicole,nice to meet u all..haha!(^-^)i am a yoga instructeress at taiping city.but i learn teacher course at the dance yoga,at that time….i still no experiences,i applying a job from my yoga school’s principal,she refuse to emloy me as a full time yoga instructeress….maybe she considered i am too young at that time…she wont employ me….because i am just 18 years old.“`(‘o’)“`.so i decided came back to my hometown,n applying a job at a entertainment club there,good respond of the club members.(^-^).umm…i like to research new type yoga.find the new feeling….ha…so i go urban yoga studio….a few months ago……i attend jessie’s hatta class.umm….she give me new inspiration…haha…hope 2 meet others yoga instructor at urban yoga! NAMASTE!

Oh…wendy,nice 2 meet u!i read your msg just now….is really it happen?a student n a male teacher?i am a new generation too…..will u trust me?i am only 19…..

The yoga outlets at Damas, Kepong and Cheras has been taken over by a listed company, think its called TSM Global Bhd. Can anyone please check their background? I see that they are selling promotion packages, although the price is higher, I think its reasonable looking at the amount of classes they are offering. But please someone, tell me that they will be here to stay…

Feel so cheated.

I paid up my yoga fee on a monthly basis. I hurt myself and haven’t been to practice at the center for 3 weeks. When I went back on the 4th week to collect the timetable, I was informed a new management have taken over (this is the 3rd owner). And that all previously payment made for classes are no longer valid. Then only did I realised that I have to pay for a new package. No refunds made on the unused portion of my payment. A 3-month package for current members is at $129/ month, compared to $88 (which we were told will be at this price for 12 months from date of signing up). They have other packages like 6-month & 12-month as well. Forget about the monthly one which I think is around $168/month.

Now, if I pay for a 3-month subscription and then another management takes over, I’m wasting my money when what I paid cannot be refunded.

I was so excited when I first joined, 2 months ago but now I don’t feel I can trust this group of people anymore.

just so sad.

Just want to know is there any yoga centre in Kota Kemuning (of course classes conducted by good yoga instructor)?

Pls inform. Tq

So sad..

cant believe this would happen in M’sia…

Are they really into Raja 8 limbs? Y they treat Yoga as a tool to earn money?

anyway,I wish everyone could find a good yoga teacher, not just looking at how difficult the asanas the can perform. But, at least with sincere and good heart..

Hi,

I wanted to shape up abit..so I’m thinking to join yoga training…. trying to google search if there’s any yoga center in Kepong area and that i found out this tsm-energy website >> http://www.tsm-energy.com/index.html
The contact no. shown is exactly the same in http://www.urbanyoga.com.my/, and their schedule looks so similar. I’m just wondering are they the same center? YogaZone ? Urbanyoga ? Energy?

btw, is there any other Yoga Center is more reliable and with good teacher in Kepong Area?

Hi Aivee, hope you are heal now, I pay 3 months to Urban Yoga in Jan, so angry they change management but never tell me early, but luckily the new managment allow me to continue my membership with no extra fee. If not I kill them leh.

The new fee sure not as cheap as last time la, but if you sign 1 year, is low as rm108 a month only, but i still scared now. This month expire, I think I will sign the 3 months rm388 package first. I still love the place and teachers there. Their schedule very good for me can find at http://www.tsm-energy.com

Energy, please don’t disappoint us. Yoga is peace.
