But Mr. Simmons is the only one regularly offering classes to the public in his own studio. But Mr. Simmons, who says he is deeply religious, has an almost spiritual connection with his followers. “I don’t have to teach anymore, I don’t have to work anymore, God has been really good to me,” Mr. Simmons said. “It’s a very unusual place — it has a spirit all its own,” Mr. Simmons said of the studio.
