Yoga in Tempe

“I've been through so many attempts to better my fitness, my diet, and my lifestyle, none really worked too well. I started at Lifestyles about two and a half years ago with Mark and Drew and haven't looked back since! I've lost 60 pounds and I know how to train better too. In general I am more fit now than I ever was then, and I just feel so much better. To be honest half the reason I go are because of Mark and Drew, they're such professional but friendly people, it's much more fun and it makes training feel a lot less awkward. I know when I go to the gym I always feel self conscious to some degree, but there are only a few people in at a time and more important Mark and Drew really make it so much easier. I definitely DEFINITELY recommend this place!“

“Love this yoga studio. Not only because of the fact that you don't need an app, or need to book a spot, but also the fact that it's donation based, and such a little hidden gem. The instructors are also such kind people, who really know what they're doing. Highly recommend!!“

“Amazing breath work, a good balance of stretches, balance poses and long holds. Juli provided guided breathing with each pose and a bit of meditation at the beginning and at the end of the class. I felt that this class was good for strengthening and toning muscles, there was slow transition between poses but the long holds did provide adequate challenge for my body. Also loved the soothing and meditative music. The view was nice, facing the fountain, you can see the tortoises jump in and out of the the pond. Left there feeling very relaxed and energized for the day. Thanks for an amazing class.“

“A very special space with dedicated, caring practitioners. It’s always tranquil, inviting, serene and healing. My LMT is Jen. 5*****“

“Jim’s teachings feed the mind, body, and spirit. His years of experience and knowledge shine through his teachings. So grateful to have found his practice years ago. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to develop a deep and intentional practice. Thank you Yoga Nirvana!!“

“Over the past month, I have explored all of the studios in my area via ClassPass. While there are so many amazing ones, this studio takes the cake. Every single class has been so heart opening and special. I have gained so much just from the three classes I have taken here. The culture and community here is unbelievable- every single employee and student is so friendly and welcoming! This is not a pretentious, fitness yoga studio, this is a spiritually, emotionally, and physically challenging space where everyone (regardless of where they are in their journey) is welcome. The vibes are ✨ E M A C U L A T E ✨.Jason’s Long Slow Deep class is definitely not beginner friendly, and that was my first yoga class in a year, so it was DEFINITELY an initiation. Besides feeling sick, because it’s a heated class and I did not realize it was a heated class, I felt amazing. His motivational pep talks and guided prompts brought me into a deeper practice than I ever thought I could. He also made me feel comfortable RESTING when it was too much for me.The new girl (I forget her name, so sorry!!) that teaches the Wednesday night Slow Flow class is a heart-led teacher and incredibly sweet. She is very hands on with her corrections (with consent and she rubs her hands to alert the person she’s about to go hands on), which I really appreciate. She is also a Trigger Point practitioner, so she really knows how to help you deepen in your asanas. Her commentary was also very insightful. You can tell she lives and breathes what she talks about!Deb’s Yin Flow class was so gentle. She created a safe atmosphere, reminding us that we are safe in our bodies, and that there was no judgement for any emotions that needed to be released. I loved that she reminded us of this several times during the hip opening stretches (the hips hold a lot of emotions and trauma for many people).This is my favorite studio. If you’re on the fence, try a class out. You won’t regret it. ❤️“

“love this studio! All of the teachers provide non judgmental coaching and they always remember my name.“

“My fiance and I have been coming here for a year now and we love it. Everyone is so nice and the people are very friendly . It's been working well.“

“Finding a place one can heal and grow stronger is hard to find. However, this studio and staff have done just that for me. I started my Pilates journey wanting to strengthen my ankles (one was still recovering from surgery) and my Physical Therapist had recommended Pilates as my next step. I tried various studios but none captivated me like Pilates Tempe. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. I remember being so scared of the machines and really my abilities. Each instructor worked with me and gave me courage to keep working on trusting myself on the reformer. They still give me courage to try new advanced moves on and off the reformer. The atmosphere is one of hard work but also friendship. I can’t tell you how many times I have laughed or smiled talking with other students before or after class. My recommendation is try more than one class before you make a judgement on if this is the place for you. You truly need multiple classes to see the different instructors, the different ways to build strength (TRX or Pilates or Tower are examples of some of the classes) and most importantly to get to know the community that comes to Pilates Tempe. If you keep showing up you will be amazed at not only your physical fitness but also the people you meet along the way.“

“My friend & I were super excited to finally try HOTWORX. However we weren't as impressed as we thought that we would be. We get in and we're approached by a girl who was still nice and explained everything well / gave us a tour. The hot yoga was good, but the tv placement was very odd, we felt as if it was too high up. We truly enjoyed the workout and felt great after. We brought our own mats, but they do require you use their branded mats & towels! If you become a member, I believe she said it was $99. However when we left, the girl was gone and there was someone new. She wasn't very friendly and we were shocked to see she didn't try to figure out more about our work out / see if we'd like to come back etc.“
