Yoga has many health benefits. From flexibility to strength, to lowered health metrics, it is something everyone should aim to add to their exercise regimen. But sometimes exercising or doing yoga alone can be daunting, especially if you are new to it. Simply trying to follow a smartphone app or online video may not give you the encouragement or structure you need to improve and succeed in yoga. This is where community classes can come in handy. There, you can not only meet like minded people, but you can also get the guidance and support needed to make yoga a fun and positive experience. With this in mind, here are some of the top community yoga classes in Phoenix.
Lululemon
They are known for their yoga pants, but they offer way more than stylish workout gear. In fact, they have weekly Sunday yoga classes that are free to the public and lead by certified instructors. The classes are housed at The Omni Scottsdale Resort and Spa at the Montelucia, and are intended for all levels of yoga participants. So put on your yoga pants, and take some time out for yourself to enjoy community yoga with Lululemon.
Community Yoga Project at Civic Space Park
Held at beautiful Civic Space Park, all you need is a mat, some water, and yourself to get started. Held at 8:30 am on Saturdays and free to the public, this outdoor experience is one that will connect you with others and nature. This class uses Ashtanga Yoga, also known as “Power Yoga.” Essentially, it has you flowing through posses while working on breathing. This style of yoga can produce a lot of sweat. If it gets too hot outside, the class is moved to the air conditioned YMCA. It is open to all levels of yogis.
Community Yoga Phoenix
Community Yoga Phoenix, located at 3375 E. Shea Blvd. in Phoenix, is a studio with roots that run deeper than most. Founded by Evon Hart, a yoga instructor certified since 2003, the space was built on a genuine desire to preserve a yoga community that had been fractured by the closure of longtime Phoenix institution Desert Song Yoga. What emerged is a collective model where a group of experienced teachers share a thoughtfully maintained space, each bringing their own approach to the practice. Classes span a range of styles and skill levels, from gentle and restorative sessions to more dynamic flows, with accessible morning and evening options throughout the week. Beyond the regular schedule, the studio hosts workshops, events, private sessions, and a beginner series designed to give newcomers a solid foundation in poses, breathwork, and basic philosophy.
