mention
of
eating
disorders
I
had
gone
to
oxygen
for
a
few
years!
The
facilities
are
extremely
clean,
and
I
like
the
fact
that
there
are
showers
and
changing
rooms
on
site.
The
infrared
heat
is
also
a
unique
standout
from
other
yoga
studios
in
town.
I
will
say,
I
went
to
oxygen
during
a
pretty
bad
relapse
in
an
eating
disorder
and
attending
classes
did
not
help
with
recovering.
There
was
an
emphasis
on
burning
fat
/
calories,
especially
after
a
holiday.
Instructors
would
say
things
like
“time
to
burn
off
all
that
holiday
weight!”
Which
was
super
off
putting
to
me.
I
also
dislike
the
advertisement
of
the
infrared
heat
being
reducing
cellulite
and
promoting
weight
loss.
I
will
also
say,
when
I
first
joined
there
was
a
much
more
even
split
between
yoga
classes
and
fitness
classes.
By
the
time
I
stopped
attending,
probably
90%
of
the
classes
were
fitness,
making
the
yoga
classes
jam
packed
with
those
who
preferred
a
calmer,
relaxing
class.
I
don’t
know
if
that’s
changed
at
all,
but
I
know
that
was
a
factor
in
why
I
chose
to
stop
attending.
Oxygen
also
has
consent
coins,
which
I
thought
was
cool,
until
two
separate
instructors
said
to
me
“I
know
you
have
your
consent
coin
flipped
to
don’t
touch
me,
but
I’m
going
to
touch
you
to
adjust
your
pose.”
That
REALLY
upset
me.
Why
offer
the
coins
if
you’re
not
going
to
respect
them?
That
really
discouraged
me.
I
will
also
echo
what
people
have
said
previous
and
say
that
oxygen
would
benefit
a
whole
lot
by
having
diverse
staff.
Being
nonbinary,
I
often
felt
isolated
and
excluded
with
multiple
instructors’
emphasis
on
gender
and
femininity.
I
found
it
hard
to
recommend
oxygen
to
friends,
due
to
most
of
my
friends
being
part
of
the
LGBTQ+
community
and/or
people
of
colour.
