  Never even think about this one if you are under 30! As Mr. Maldoner's partner - Mrs. Peureux told me today “We had always problem with people under 30”. So to save a time and energy on both sides it will be better to forget about it. BTW: I have a reason not to take it personally as I am 34 and she knew it from our previous conversation. At the start I have to say did not get to class itself as I did not felt relaxed atmosphere over there. I have been there personally two days in advance to find out what is it about. It seemed interesting, but a little bit pricey - EUR20,- for a single visit and they not offering a discounted test class as many other places do. I do not why as Mrs. Peureux personally told me about some people in past complaining afterwards that class was not as they expected. Anyway I like trying Yoga classes abroad (India, USA, Austria, Germany so far) I decided to try this one if possible. Then she asked about my telephone number, email and full name to confirm next day that the class for me will be possible. Class was already pending downstairs and she had to confirm me with her partner and to call me next day. Next day she called me and said that he agrees and that she was not able to send me my email (even I gave her the simplest one with 11 characters it total). I asked for her address and she got my mine. I confirmed that I come and if I could not come for some important reason I cannot think of at the moment I will let her know before 14:00 as the latest (class starts at 17:30). I call as I do not have access to email during the working hours in Germany. But I clearly stated this is a minimum chance and even defined it in percentage - 2%. Today I rushed from work to get there as soon as possible and found email with text “ARE YOU COMING TODAY 17h20 ????“ (BTW: Using the capital letter in text usually means at least loud speech or even screaming without possibility to recognize). I quickly replied that I am and went. Got there by walk by 17:10. A man opened the door with happy smile and relaxed face wanted to show me the restrooms at first then Mrs. Peureux appeared to tell me she already called the replacement. After from all previous experience with her I was taking it as a signal from above not to go, thanked and turned myself to leave. It would be definitely the most expensive yoga class so far anyway, then she told me I can still be there, explained I took her time and mentioned problems with young people as I mentioned earlier. I have personal issue in changing the mind forward and backward and created atmosphere was not pleasing anymore so I left. My personal feeling from this that it is too much about money and about losing potential revenue as it is in any other businesses. At least from Mrs. Peureux side I had to deal with. Previous day I went to the place called "Yogakula" just 3 minutes walk 240 meters from “Yoga school Maldoner”. They have “Probestunde“ for just EUR8,- and it was the most magic yoga classes abroad I went to so far (India inclusive). When I am in Karlsruhe again I know where to go and where NOT to go for Yoga.
