| - I stepped into Floo-id Yoga after scouring the Internet for a spa-like yoga studio that didn't judge my lack of fitness ability. I'm on the way to a healthy lifestyle and wanted a place I could feel comfortable and encouraged despite my absolute lack of yoga experience and I found it at Floo-id Yoga.
The studio itself: Floo-id Yoga feels like a spa when you walk in -- beautifully decorated with a calm and relaxing vibe. The bathrooms are equally spa-like with great showers, giant sinks with awesome mint-lavender soap. There are two studios (1 small one and 1 large main one that holds 30-40 comfortably) with bamboo floors. There are cubbies for your stuff, lots of benches, and a fridge stocked with Smart Water and coconut water.
The atmosphere and class structure: Flood-id Yoga is a place for absolute beginners to those who have several years of practice. They offer a wide variety of classes throughout the day (from hot flow, to hot yoga, to yin yoga, and more) to accomodate most schedules and skill sets and fitness levels. There are about 5-7 teachers and I've taken classes with Beth, Jen, Donna, and Angela. There are all great.
What I love most about Floo-id is there lack of pressure. They truly want you to simply practice and listen to your body -- go where you want to go. During class they always explain how to modify poses for more advanced yogis or what to work on if you are just starting out. As for hot yoga, there is no pressure to "perform" in the class. You can lay down, sit down, and just do what you can do to get through the hot 60 minutes. Some classes I do amazing and get through the entire 60 minutes no problem and other times, like yesterday, I literally laid on my mat for 30 minutes.
All of the teachers are so kind, encouraging, and helpful. Beth is the owner and she teaches classes often is constantly at the studio to greet you and make you feel welcome. Jen is super sweet and calming and Donna puts you at ease with her blend of humor and encouragement.
Logistics: You can sign up to have an account online where you can view and register for classes as well as see your entire account history. Love the technology. Parking is easy (a few shops down from Whole Foods on Scottsdale Rd and Mayo near the 101). My advice is just to get to class about 20 minutes early to ensure you get the spot you want. Some classes are fill up more than others.
Pricing: I signed up for the unlimited monthly membership for $99/month when it was on sale during their 2-year anniversary sale. I think it's normally $139. It's totally worth it. I try to go everyday and usually end up going 5-6 times a week. However, they have a range of options to fit your budget and commitment level.
They also have a great selection of yoga mats and towels along with cute clothes for sale.
LOVE FLOO-ID YOGA!!!
