Yoga Pura — Local services in Phoenix

Yoga Pura has been one of the best parts of moving to the Moon Valley neighborhood. I had already heard about this studio but I lived pretty far so didn't get to try them until I bought a house in the area and realized they were 5 minutes away. What an absolute GEM of a studio! I've been going 3-4 times per week for about a month. I've done yoga my whole life off and on, but the last few years I suffered through endless classes that were either blasting music, touting 'a hard workout' or blasting the heat (whyyyy???). From the minute I walked into this studio I knew it was different. Everyone is just so friendly and authentic and kind. Every single teacher is just so knowledgeable, calming and real. You leave here feeling regulated, mobile, calm and content. I have stuck mainly with the essential basics, yin and restorative, as I'm in a cross fit gym 4 times a week and own a very stressful business. I don't need a stressful fast paced workout from yoga. I need the mobility, the drop in cortisol levels, the regulation of my nervous system, and the meditation - all of which I get from this studio and more. They do offer challenging classes as well for anyone looking to up their effort. I have been just so satisfied and content with every single...

I’ve been coming to Yoga Pura for over a month now, and let me start by saying that I am so grateful to have found this neighborhood gem! I absolutely love coming to this studio for their peaceful zen vibes, diverse range of classes and fun events. I have taken both essentials basics and vinyasa classes here with Jen and Laura (respectively) and they were amazing! I enjoyed participating in the community class and clothing swap during my first visit, and highly recommend attending a candlelight flow class when they are available! Given that it had been years since I did in-person yoga classes, I have been pleasantly surprised with my experience so far at this studio. The teachers are very kind, outgoing and supportive; the other students and front desk staff are nice and welcoming as well. I love how uplifting the Yoga Pura community has been, and cannot wait to attend more classes and join as a member in the future.

For those who are interested in visiting, they currently offer a new student special; which will give you a 2 week pass to attend as many classes as you desire for $30! I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity as a trial run to see what to expect as a Yoga Pura member. 20/10, highly...

This was the worst experience I've ever had at a yoga studio. Sue was insensitive as a teacher and critical of students during class. She knew I had limitations and felt it was a good idea to ask about why I was not taking certain positions while she had a microphone on. Not only did she disrupt my practice, she also disrespected everyone in class by making extra conversation that was not necessary. Additionally, it was my understanding that you could take what serves you and apply modifications or leave something altogether if it wasn't right for you in moment. That philosophy is not...
