Report
Nancy is a crook. My wife cancelled instructor training and requested the 50% refund that the YogaMotion website offered and which Nancy agreed to. Nancy said she was remodeling her studio and cash was short so she would make $200 per month payments of the 50%. The payments never occurred. When asked about them, Nancy had someone pose as a lawyer sending me a letter offering a token settlement amount and threatening action if I continued to 'harass' her (by requesting the agreed upon payments).
Her fear was that she would be confronted during her Utah classes. Nancy may be a good instructor but she's horrible human being. Any response from her that he tried to go out of her way to help us is BS. Her website offered a 50% refund and she agreed to the terms. She tried to pressure us using a fake law firm. I hope she enjoys Hell - it will suit her. *** If you deal with her, get everything in writing ***
