0 stars. This yoga studio and certain members of its clientele have shown a complete disregard for basic human decency, accessibility, and the law. For months, we have repeatedly requested that your patrons stop blocking our easement and sidewalk, especially during snow. Tonight it happened yet again — this time by the driver of the Bronco (license plate photographed) who not only ignored prior requests and notes, but continues to instigate and act entitled as if our property access is optional. My mother-in-law is handicapped, uses a rollator, and relies on an unobstructed path to reach our door. Because of your customer, she was physically unable to enter her home AGAIN. This is not an inconvenience. This is not a misunderstanding. This is a direct violation of ADA accessibility standards, which require clear, unobstructed pedestrian access for disabled individuals at all times. And for a business that constantly preaches “community,” “mindfulness,” and “inclusion,” allowing your patrons to repeatedly block a disabled woman’s access — in the snow, no less — is the height of hypocrisy. Let me be crystal clear: Blocking an easement that prevents a disabled person from safely reaching their residence is not only morally appalling — it is potentially illegal. It can fall under: • ADA accessibility obstruction • Municipal code violations • Liability exposure for injury or restricted access • Civil negligence You may want to remind your patrons (especially the Bronco driver) that “I didn’t know” is not a legal defense. At this point, the message is obvious: Your studio’s convenience and customer turnover matter more than a handicapped person’s right to safely enter her home. If you truly care about the community, prove it. Start enforcing respectful parking behavior — every class, every time — so this doesn’t escalate further. Do better. Immediately
