BE AWARE. This review is based on my personal experience as of August 2021. It is my opinion that…read moreis a religiously-based. money-seeking organization. IF TM is a valid practice, the "Director" Pratima, of the Scottsdale location provided extremely poor representation of this company. She claims to be a practitioner of sorts, yet demonstrated lack of professionalism and cultural sensitivity toward my own culture and beliefs. She also minimized my loss-related grief and felt entitled to call me "selfish" for verbally expressing my current emotional pain. TM is supposedly a meditation practice that has been "proven" to help destress, yet it seemed to have impaired her dealings with me. I call that HYPOCRACY. She was impatient and belittling toward me in front of a peer. She made provisions for my peer and allowed her to "make-up" a class via Zoom when she was absent. Pratima obligated me to come in-person for the class and I was not allowed the same courtesy although I had advised her that I was in incredible emotional and physical pain. I call that FAVORITISM. I was also obligated to view videos of the founder "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi." With the limited information I received about this individual, my perception quickly became that he was their religious leader. When I expressed any difference of opinion from hers, I was met with aggressive communication and was insulted. I was asked to shell out a significant amount of money to learn "the basics." They provided minimal information, pretty, colorful Power Point Presentations full of hearsay. When I asked to learn more scientific information the Director advised me their famous "advanced techniques" would be an additional cost (of course). They did not advise me of this upfront. After FOUR sessions, I felt I had been swept into some kind of money scheme. When requesting a refund (after FOUR SESSIONS), Pratima advised me that I did "not qualify" for one. I believe that such "practitioners" should practice what they preach. I don't feel this individual did, based on her horrible treatment of me. Never again. Learned my lesson. I don't recommend at all. RUN.

Both experiences were unique yet similar: * The studio session was relaxing to the point that my racing mind was able to go blank for a decent period of time, just absorbing the vibrations of the bowls echoing in the room. * The private session made me feel grounded especially being outside in the grass with the mixed in sounds of nature. I will definitly be brining more friends to the class sessions and hope to host a private event featuring Terri as well because everyone should get to experience the peace her sound meditation will bring you!

I belong to BSY and have been going to the Midtown and Paradise Valley locations for the last year. A lot of the reason as to why I belong to BSY is because of Kjoy Lipson. I have never met a yoga instructor like her in the 2+ decades I have practiced yoga. She is the true embodiment of what yoga is all about. Take one of her classes and you'll know what I mean. I have been kicking the can down the road for awhile regarding yoga teacher training and have toyed with the idea for that last 10 years, on and off again about truly signing up for a class. But, with Kjoy, the calling came and so this past weekend, I have started my YTT journey with her and 11 other beautiful swans. Our Saturday class was here at the Old Town Scottsdale location and this is probably my favorite studio. All the BSY studios have a similar feel with painted black walls, the swan logo, and this one has a mural with two snakes on it and it's just badass gorgeous and a beautiful studio. There are mirrors here and very important in yoga to check alignment and the floors are grippy and cushion, perfect for the studio and easy to clean with a mop. Three bathrooms here, lots of cubby holes to store shoes and belongs and a nice bench too to sit on or for belongings. There are soft opening events this week on Wed and Thu evenings and definitely come to the grand opening on Sun, 9/21, it's gonna be great with food, giveaways, special studio deals, yoga community and classes! Definitely come check out this studio and come practice! Yoga changed my life, and it might just change yours too. And, it's in a great convenient location too!

Once I found it I went in and walked into a super cute studio. It has mattresses, pillows and blankets. This is the first time I went to a sound bath with mattresses so that was nice. It smelled great. Good aroma therapy with the incense. Idk if it's sound proof but it had to have been. You couldn't hear any outside noises. Kim did a great job with guided meditation. She has a really positive calming energy. The sound bath felt like 20/30 minutes. I felt absolutely amazing after. I really enjoyed the small talk after as well. I will be back.

It's not a requirement to stay for all of the sittings. I felt very welcomed and am very much so enjoying this new practice.

I also love the layout of the gym it's clean, well spaced out, and the equipment is great. My only con so far is that, in my experience, the trainers haven't been very engaged with the class or offered much guidance on form. One of the things I love most about group fitness is when instructors hype up the room & shouting out members, offering motivation, or demoing the moves alongside the class instead of just in the beginning and I haven't really seen that yet. That said, the staff are all super friendly, the gym offers so much more than just strength training (which I'm excited to explore), and the playlists are a solid 10/10. If you're in Scottsdale or just want to try a new gym I highly recommend this one!
