I have been visiting the local yoga studios to see which one would best suit me and my practice and become my home studio. One of the reasons I was drawn to this studio was because of the no scents policy stated on the web site, as I have allergies. I was surprised that of the 5 classes I attended with 5 different teachers, 4 of them used scents in the practice. Three used oils and one burned incense. I was a little taken aback by that and was a bit disappointed after reading of the no scent policy. I also wish the studio had a better selection of evening classes as most of the classes seem

This studio is clean, and the class instruction was excellent. I went to a Sunday 8AM class and it wasn't too crowded. The space is a simple large room with a small WC. The temperature was comfortable and there were plenty of props. The community seems to be from the University, however, I felt welcome as a first time visitor from out of town. My only minor criticism would be that the new sign-in was a bit time consuming.

Yesterday I went to the 4:15 yoga class. I love the way I feel after, grounded and more aware of my body. Today I am sore, and that is a great thing! The space feels open with the windows that let in the light, yet when I'm practicing it is easy to focus and ground myself. So far, the instructors I have had have been wonderful- I can't seem to be there for the same teachers often.

I attended the newborn baby yoga class yesterday and it was awesome! It costs $6 cash or $7 card and I felt so comfortable with my little one. The instructor targets areas that become very tense for moms that are forced to use parts of their body they never did before (ie upper neck, shoulders, lower back) For new moms, taking your baby places can also be STRESSFUL, but the instructor makes everyone feels so welcome. There were about 7 moms present and nursing and diaper changing during the class is totally welcome. If you are looking to meet other moms, the instructor lets people hang out after

Great, down to earth studio. Went for the Friday 6am led Ashtanga primary series with Laurent and practiced alongside such amiable students--a rarity if you've practiced in studios around the U.S. and globally.
The owner, Laurent, was gracious. A local's studio that stays close to the true yoga principles. Not a gym-type yoga and not too heavy on yogic doctrine. Just right.
Bring a mat or $1 to rent one. First time students get a free mat. There's a kombucha tap if you love it fresh.

This review is for Kelly M's classes.
Kelly is one of my favorite teachers in Tucson. She always mixes up the practice to keep it interesting. She has a great bubbly personality which makes class playful. She is now teaching a noon class on Friday's that is only $4!
At Tucson yoga, you should bring your own mat, or they rent them for $1. They have drinking water and cubbies for personal items. They have 1 restroom and no extra changing rooms.

Hurray for Tucson Yoga!
Such a friendly and inviting atmosphere, Tucson Yoga (TY) is the first studio I checked out after moving here from NYC. I enjoy all kinds of classes and have experience with intensive flash pose places and those that cater to more breath and heart-centered practices. TY offers a nice range of basics to expanding classes, and is one of the few studios to offer Yin yoga. All classes are very reasonably priced @ $6 or $5 with a pass.
The faculty has turned over since ownership changed hands to the lovely Laurent Baig, so there are many teachers I have yet to meet. That said

I love Tucson Yoga. A few months back I wrote a review about Yoga Oasis and how I was going to look into other studios in town to see if there was a more welcoming environment for people who don't have super athletic thin bodies.
And then I found Tucson Yoga! I've been going to classes there for the last several weeks and love it. I never feel pressured to come into poses that I know are not right for my body, and it feels totally fine to sit out for a minute and just breathe if you need a little space to yourself.
They have a good deal where you can buy 10 passes for $50, otherwise

A friend got me 10 classes passes to Tucson Yoga for Christmas. It was one of the best gifts I have ever received!
I LOVE the yin-vinyasa class on Monday nights at 7PM (normally taught by Gabrielle-she sings during shavasana!) You start off with a gentle flow and then the rest of the class is yin style. In yin, you hold poses for as long as 3-5 minutes, and use props like bolsters and blankets. If you are like me and usually favor a vigorous vinyasa or hot power flow, the counterbalance of a yin class feels AMAZING. You work out all the fascia on your legs and back, and find your edge

I took Frank Jude Boccio's class, "Mindfulness Yoga". Really good class. The class was pretty full and the students were varied. It was a comfortable pace but pushed me.
I thought it would be a restorative class but it was actually more of a vinyasa class. Had a nice meditation at the end and Frank was good with cues and pacing.
Only $6 and a $1 mat rental fee.

I actually do not live in Tucson anymore, but after going to quite a few yoga studios in Tucson, Phoenix metro area and a couple in Boulder, I've determined that Tucson Yoga is one of the best I've practiced at. One of my favorite things about this studio is that they definitely take yoga seriously, but are very lighthearted and welcoming at the same time - as yoga should be.
They have a great variety of classes and in every class I've taken, the instructors do an excellent job of talking you through the different stages of a pose and work with you on alignment and making sure

I've gone to Tucson Yoga off and on for years. I even participated in the beginners yoga workshop which I enjoyed thoroughly even if I didn't feel like a pro at the end. What I liked was that no one expected me to feel like a pro. Yoga takes practice and the teachers at Tucson Yoga are very encouraging and supportive of yoga enthusiasts of every ability level. The studio is always clean and welcoming. There is even a pleasant healthful smell about the place.
Recently I've fallen in love with Tucson Yoga all over again because of their Mama Baby yoga classes. I've been hard

My friend and I came here for a Saturday morning Beginners Yoga class. The first thing that surprised me about this place was that right when you walk in, you're in your studio! Right when we walked in, there were all these people lined up with their mats. Granted, we were also a bit late - but the guy there (sitting behind a folded table) was super friendly and accommodated us quickly. I also didn't bring a mat - and first mat rental was free! Score! (regular mat rental rates are $1) But more on the mat later.
Since it was a beginners class, the practice was pretty low-key and relaxing

I didn't come here for yoga, but for the Sunday night Sanga group. I had heard about this group for quite some time, but found that I was not attracted to the meditation hour: the group meets beginning at 7 p.m. on a Sunday. Considering I work Mondays through Fridays and keep very busy weekday hours, I like to use my Sunday evenings for preparing for the week.
But I opted to go, wanting to learn about the group's members and share in their ritual meditation.
I must offer a disclaimer: In my meditation practice, I prefer non-guided meditations, or silent sits. It's just a personal

Tucson Yoga is the best yoga studio ever. I mean, can you beat a $6 one and a half hour yoga class taught by a thoughtful yogi? This is truly a yoga studio for the People. The studio has a communal feel--minimal business and maximum community. I've been attending classes here since I moved to Tucson a little over two years ago and I can't imagine relocating to another studio.
Great workshops, great weekly classes. Leah and Joe offer invigorating and challenging practices on Monday and Tuesday nights (respectively), and Julie helps students link movement and meditation in her Sunday

The Wednesday night mix level class is fantastic. Joanna is a wonder. She's really warm and really creative. Always comes up with different versions of poses to match everyone's experience level.
The location may be a bit hard to find if you're not familiar with downtown, especially with the roadwork on Broadway, but it's worth the search.
The only complaint I can think of is the front/paying/leaving bags/etc area is a little awkwardly laid out. Maybe it would be better if the paying/signing -in area and the bookcase were switched?
