When I first moved to the Valley in 2005 I struggled to find a yoga studio that met my needs. After many years of being forced to take yoga at corporate gyms, health clubs, and elitist studios, I was thrilled and elated to find Urban Yoga a convenient half mile away from my home. The first day I set foot at Urban I felt so welcomed, and the instructor took so much personal interest in my to help grow my yoga practice. I took two classes in a row that day (which is just about one year ago to the day) and have taken hundreds of classes there since. I even signed up for teacher training at Urban and am now certified to teach.
Urban is like a home to me-- the community atmosphere at Urban cannot be matched by any other yoga studio. These folks really care about their customers and the focus is 100% on the practice of yoga-- not about what clothes you're wearing (though the boutique there is very cute) or how hot your bod is. You can be yourself at Urban and you will make friends.
Central Phoenix is budding with yoga studios now but don't be fooled. Urban is the real deal. It's beautiful studio filled with wonderful people and I highly recommend it over any others.
Namaste!
