For studio owners and teachers

Your read, before our build.

We have a room design that moves a class through two heights: the standing series on the floor, then a mid-class bench deployment and the floor series on a platform two feet up. We have not yet shown it to the people who actually run a class. That is the next step, and we would rather ask publicly than pretend we already know.

Five questions

What we need to know from you.

  1. Does the pause break the class?

    Between the standing and floor series, two people fold the benches down and lock them. Thirty seconds, maybe a minute. Is that a natural transition or a spell-breaker?

  2. Which standing postures would you modify at 7 feet?

    Our read says half moon and balancing stick are the only fully-overhead ones, and at 7 ft they clear only up to about 5 ft 8 in. Here is the table. Tell us what we missed.

  3. Is 60 by 69½ inches enough for two on the floor series?

    A 5 × 6 ft platform, with 4¾ inches of open wall recess on each side at shoulder height. Wide-legged and spine-twist postures are the ones we worry about.

  4. Where does your studio floor run cold?

    The whole point of the platform is lifting the floor series out of the coldest air. If your students already complain about cold floors in savasana, we want that story.

  5. Would you send a student to this, or want one yourself?

    A home room could be a competitor to a studio or a feeder for it. We want to hear which you think it is, and why.

What you get

What we can promise, and what we can't.

What we are not promising: a free unit, a launch date, or that your feedback will be adopted. We will tell you what we did with it either way.
