I was immensely impressed with this yoga studio in south Scottsdale. Not only is it extremely affordable -- only $10 for a drop-in class! -- the basic yoga class I took was beneficial to both the mind and body. Instructor/owner Karin Fellman added a personal touch to the class despite how full it was, walking around and helping people optimize their poses, and addressing new and returning students by name.
I loved the mental uplifting that paired wonderfully with the exercises. Karin was encouraging throughout the class, reminding students to realize their full potential and to carry the benefits from the class out into their regular lives. She did a great job at explaining the moves, so even someone who has never done hot yoga could feel comfortable and confident.
I was blown away by the prices but will be back because of the physical and mental strengthening the class offered. There are other varieties, including a class that integrates weight lifting, so no matter what level yogi you are, there's something perfect for you. I'd highly recommend Hot Yoga University to anyone looking to tone both their body and mind.
