I think it's a really good studio -- not my favourite -- that's Sea, but a good size and location.
clean and comfortable studios, attentive front desk staff and good teachers
Very friendly and very helpful ALL the time. I like that when I go away, I can put my account on hold.
How open and welcoming the atmosphere is as well as that there are classes to meet everyone at their own level.
Semperviva is a very welcoming environment. The variety/# of classes is fantastic. The studios are comfortable. Last, but not least, Gloria herself has created a very relaxed and fun yoga community.
play less music in the classes. maybe have 50% of the classes without music.
The room was really clean and nicely lit. The equipment was in working order and the teacher (Bernie) was really knowledgeable and willing to help people. He is also pretty funny.
I love the atmosphere, the availability of mats and props, the sunny dispositions of the staff. Everything really. I've been to several different studios and this is the one I like best.
too many people attend classes so not enough space in between people to do yoga properly.
On another note one of the pre natal teacher is far too much speed- it is not what pregnant women expect.
Carpets. Please get rid of the carpets. I am sorry, but when I think about how they absorbe sweat etc - oy.
Relaxed and friendly atmosphere, 'genuine' yoga experience courtesy of instruction from excellent teachers
Smiles and friendly staff behind the counter, always.....
The classes are great, the instructors are great too. Having mats all over the floor makes it loll messy and disorganized and people are not equally spaced as happens when you just lay your mat where you like. Having mats for free is great as well, but they should be placed at the side no get if needed. More regular bathroom maintenance would be good as well.
Staffs are very friendly and all teachers I've tried are very good. I always enjoy your tea when I visit.
Local, classes often and a good range of different classes.
I would love a 6:15 kundalini class!
The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is not an intimidating environment for beginners. The staff take time to explain everything and make excellent recommendations. The yoga instructor that I have had is beyond terrific.
Great yoga teachers, good mix of classes and locations. Array of workshops and master teachers, the space, store, helpful staff. Semperviva offers something for everyone, whether a beginner or master practitioner. The teachers are all exceptional. I've been attending classes for 3 years and have never had a less than fantastic experience. The studios are clean and equipment is well maintained. A fantastic community minded business that my whole family is proud to support.
Location wise, the Sea studio is my favourite. It's so peaceful and gives me a place of refuge.
Your teachers are absolutely amazing. I have been to many studios, but keep coming back, as you are by far my favourite.

Location, instructor, studio
The changing room is always chaotic as it's cramped and has a real bottle neck entrance so things have a tendancy to get a bit heated amongst students between classes - I know there's not really a lot of room for movement or alteration but perhaps having more space in the foyer area for shoes etc may ease congestion.
Warm, friendly, highly skilled teachers.
I think something could be done to warm up the studio. It is large and great for big groups (and tall women like me!) but something warm and fuzzy would make the space feel more welcoming.
As simple as it is, I love that the mats are all arranged - no fussing necessary upon arrival! I also love the variety in teaching styles and the large room.
better traffic flow in and out of the classroom - it is a total bottle neck at the start and end of classes getting your clothes from the shelves and getting in and out of class . . . this is my least favorite part of yoga with you :( .
Have the instructors focus more on reinforcing the correct way to do the basic postures - I have been doing yoga for 2 years with you now and still in a lot of postures I am not sure if I am doing it correctly. There are some instructors that do a good job with this but overall I would really like more instruction on correct technique for the postures and assistance with this - perhaps even a special class on this?
I do really enjoy your studio and yoga at it though!
More room for strollers
Change rooms - would be so great to have lockers that can lock, showers and bathrooms that are more accessible.
I don't know if this can be fixed but:
the change room is too small - it is too difficult to get changed with all the people fighting for space
the HVAC system is very noisy - sometimes it is difficult to hear the teachers
