SAVY International Inc.

It’s a major decision for someone who has already lived her «threescore years and ten» to choose a fitness method to make the remaining years as supple, interesting and meaningful as possible. Very soon after Dr. Jitinder Sahdev established his yoga studio in London, ON, I decided that yoga classes would be my method of retaining good health and mobility as long as possible. I am so grateful that an initial Groupon deal led me to the Exeter Road studio of Dr. Sahdev. (He does not use the title as an empty attempt at status: the gentleman is a surgeon trained and practised in India– but his own respect for the integrated health practices of yoga led him to establish a yoga studio, to prepare his own family as teachers, and to offer the most reasonable Yoga Alliance certification program in the world). At my age, I am not vying for certification, but I have learned so much about the human body, about challenging its «limits» and about caring for my own health, physical as well as emotional. I leave each class revitalized, gratefully aware of every system that keeps me alive, and eager to learn more. I could not be happier about my choice.

A month ago a few of my gym friends decided to buy a yoga package at a studio in Markham. The lady there told us that Savvy from London would be teaching yoga there and we can get certified as teachers by the owner names Jitender Sahdev.
The yoga classes in itself were decent but there was significant hurdles in getting certified and the overall experience was negative. Jitender would discipline me harshly and embarrass me in front of my colleagues which is not professional at all. He would ask me to stay back (usually alone) which I was not comfortable with but be warned me that if I didn’t I would not get certified.
I have no review about the studio space because he was renting the space in Markham from the lady who owns it (although he himself is from London, ON).
He forced all the students leave positive reviews for his company while standing right there, which made it awkward for me as I did not want to leave him a fake positive review. He told me if I did not I would not get my certificate.
I posted my review on Unilocal earlier and flagged it and it was removed. If you see too many positive reviews for this company please exercise your caution and I really encourage you to google the owner before going. I would have avoided my experience if I had known before hand.
