LOVE! I was new to Arizona and mentioned to a colleague my disappointment in my gym's yoga classes. (Coming from New York, I had high standards for the teachers and atmosphere.) My colleague invited me to attend a class with her at a Sumits studio on Phoenix. The class was packed. (I am talking less than inches between each mat.) I quickly understood why. The class was fabulous. Positive, upbeat, good music, excellent reminders to focus on yourself, your body and your practice.
Following the trial class in Phoenix, I purchased a package at the McCormick Ranch location. When I would arrive for class as an unfamiliar face, upon check in, the instructors would introduce themselves, ask how I was enjoying the classes, etc. Very welcoming (and a refreshing change from the mainly immature and unpleasant staff you will find at most health and fitness establishments in Scottsdale).
I would highly recommend Sumits to anyone.
