In an odd strip mall with limited parking and nothing of interest surrounding it. The studio is a large room with very high ceilings so when taking yoga classes it is difficult to hear the instructor, plus the fans are noisy adding to the issue. It is also too warm in there. I was not all that pleased with the yoga classes except the fab gong class but it was her last day. I tried the T'ai Chi class and fell in love with the grace of Rasoul the instructor and a student whom I later learned had been a dancer. I bought a package of 20 classes and stated my intent was for TC only. Sadly I was very disappointed and upset that students lead the class for most of the time and the instructor sits on his fanny. I called to explain my dilemma and Barbara Adams( owner) said I should address it with Rasoul. I tried but to no avail. He is inflexible and so is the owner. Where is their Namaste? read more

Great yoga classes in Scottsdale! This is a fun and friendly place. If you are new to the area and need to make friends then just sign up for yoga. It will be easy to meet cool women to add to your tribe. I leave here floating I feel so good and often worry I am too "Blissed out" to drive home. read more

Yoga village is a great studio with great instructors. It can be pretty hard to find and parking may be limited in peak times, but I've never had a problem since I don't come during peak times. read more

I love, love, love Yoga Village, especially the 6 AM Morning Flow on Tuesdays and Thursdays with Michele. It's too bad more people don't drag their asses out of bed to make it to this class! Oh wait, that just makes it better for me! Michele Rusinko is an amazing Yoga teacher! She blends her Yoga skills with her training background to arrive at the perfect early morning class. You'll get the benefits of a yoga class combined with her professional instruction. I have learned so much from her that I have never gotten from anyone else. No kickstanding in balancing poses; jump to the top of the mat...no way for an old guy with degenerated discs; core strengthing...yes you'll be doing up/downs - yogi plank/forearm plank; genuine interest in helping you improve your practice - that's Michelle's M.O. You'll get an awesome workout while making sure you don't get hurt. On so many occasions I've walked in at 5:45 AM tired, anxious and completely out of energy not knowing how I would get through the class only to have Michele leads us through a perfect class to kick off the day. Now it's time to get out of bed a few minutes early on Tuesdays and Thursdays and join us. read more

It was my very first time at Yoga Village and my very first time taking a Yoga class or touching anything Yoga-related. I took the Level 1 Basics class. The receptionist (I so wish I remembered her name!) was very nice and helpful, letting me know that this class was perfect for beginners and reassured me that it was going to be great when I expressed that I was nervous. She even took the extra step to let the substitute instructor know that it was my very first Yoga class, and I was introduced to her. She remembered my name throughout the whole session and gave me some helpful pointers on my positions during the session. Overall, I can't wait to go back to my next class. I have pretty bad sciatic lower back pain and after many efforts of trying to get it worked out through massage and chiropractic work, my friends convinced me that Yoga would be the answer. I am excited to watch myself become stronger and see how it benefits my back! read more

This is by far the greatest yoga studio I have experienced in n.scottsdale. Couple reasons include: the classes are small and not crowded. 8-10 people tops. the staff is respectful and the owner makes you feel at home. the instructors work with you as an individual and educate you as well if you have questions after class. they offer family, prenatal,child, beginner and flow to name a few classes. the schedule is always changing. one wish i do have is they would offer a sunrise class that would be terrific! one other plus: AZ on the Rocks is downstairs so you can always go climb after you stretch out. I practice here 3x a week and look forward to continuing. read more

We bought a 10 class pass on Groupon for Yoga Village. This was my first ever experience at a yoga studio and if you're not 100% sure about yoga I can see how their style could turn you away. It's got a very hippie vibe with om's, chanting and bells. The vibe overall is more serious as well, the music (depending on the teacher) usually some rinky-tink sounds. The colors and decor are outdated, but the place has potential. The teacher's are all very nice and everyone is welcoming. They are great with really guiding you through poses and correcting your stance, etc. We frequented Elena's class because she was younger and hence had a more chill vibe, slightly more upbeat music and good routines that were always different. You went in thinking - what will today be?! Anyhow, after trying out a couple of different places I don't think I would return. Not my cup of tea. It's just not "current" and I think it's important to stick with the foundations, but also progress with the times - IMO at least. Namaste. read more

The folks at Yoga Village are great. I've attended several events at the studio and each time they are welcoming, have some great food with them and really live the yoga spirit. The instructors love their students and work hard to create unique experiences each class. They are not just a cookie-cutter, same class each time kind of place. Each instructor seems to bring a piece of themselves to the class which adds a lot to the spirit of learning and exploring yoga at Yoga Village. The workshop presenters they bring in are wonderful as well. Very approachable and sharing of their time and gift. read more

This yoga studio (I say yoga, though they provide other similar services) is my all time favorite one I've been to so far. The classes are not large so you feel like you have plenty of space and are comfortable. The atmosphere is calming and after each session I felt very relaxed. I originally found this place through Groupon which had a promotional deal for five classes for $20 I actually only end up going to one of them but thank God I did because I discovered my home away from home there. If I were you and I was interested in starting something like yoga or meditation I would check this place out first. They also have another location. read more

First, I love the Restorative/Nidra class. I come to it every week and look forward to it each time. I leave feeling amazing! However, once I forgot my yoga mat and I figured like most yoga studios they would gladly lend me a mat. Nope. The receptionist was persistent that she collect a $1 for lending me a mat. I said I was a little surprised and most places wouldn't do that to a returning, loyal customer. She ended up charging my credit card $1.... I hope the ~95¢ they actually received is worth it to them instead of the hundreds of dollars for classes for keeping a returning customer. read more

The community at Yoga Village was very welcoming, I could tell right away that this was a great studio by the friendly conversation amongst students. I felt accepted and introduced right away. The yoga was just what I needed with a mid-day meditation and a slow flow class, it was a beautiful offering. read more

First time. Easy check in. Instructor was very polite, paid attention to level of experience of students. Students varied in age and experience. They had an accommodating shower and large bathroom. I travel for work so the location was fitting for my day. I will be coming back. read more

Hmmm. Been here before and the teachers are great, nice variety of classes to choose from even for those 8-5 yoginis. The facility is nice and clean, just the right temperature at all times. My only disappointment with this place is it's location. I got here too early one night for a 7pm class and the door was locked which is understandable. This is located in an industrial area and it was dark, there were lights with sensors not not bright enough. I was a little bit nervous and sat in my car until the door was opened... read more

This is a wonderful studio. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a new student, you'll find this studio has the classes and the teachers that will help your practice grow. One of the many great things about this studio is that the teachers are always warm and welcoming. The class offerings are nice and diverse. There are fun flow classes as well as wonderfully centering classes. If you're looking to trying a new yoga class or start yoga, check this studio out. I love it! read more

Started here in Jan, after doing hot yoga for a couple years. Since it was up the street from my house, figures I'd give it a try & am SO glad that I did, only wish I had come sooner:( The instructors are wonderful, never crowded, very personal with total hands on instruction. I can't say enough great things about it. read more

I joined this studio about 2 months ago and have developed a real love and interest in it. I have always been into hard core exercise (think Insanity workouts) but needed a change in pace because of my job. I am a provider in emergency medicine which means my body needs time to come down after the stress and long hours at my jobs. So I decided to try yoga and was amazed at how well my body responded to it. I am naturally a skeptic of many 'alternative' things because of my medical background but many of my patients swear by the results. I also have a heart condition and saw my cardiologist the other day who specifically asked me if I was practicing yoga. I hadn't mentioned it but told him I had recently started it and asked why he was inquiring about this specific exercise. He said that my ECG had significantly improved and HE said he thinks it was due to the yoga. He told me if I wasn't doing this I would probably not be feeling as well. I have tried many different classes at Yoga Village and have never been disappointed with any of the teachers, they're excellent! I am the type of person who gets bored with redundant exercise but I can honestly say I've never been to a class that isn't completely unique. I 100% recommend this place for anyone looking to try something new and life changing! read more

I was invited to the Yoga Village by a friend of mine over Thanksgiving. I was surprised to find such a following on such a wonderful day of thanks. The instructor was warm, encouraging and accepting of all students (even those of new to this yoga studio)! Due to the large class size there was also another instructor available for assistance to help with modifications and adjustments. I was able to attend a second class a week later with another wonderful instructor. Even with a smaller group I found the same compassion and level of expertise of a quality yoga instructor. As a yoga instructor myself I would easily be able to find this as a place for my personal practice. The Yoga Village has created a wonderful yoga community! read more

I had an enjoyable experience! I did a level 1 basics class and it was actually harder than I thought it was going to be. I'm not new to yoga, so it was actually a good level for me!! The studio is really cute and the instructor was good and very welcoming. read more

Extremely relaxing, informative, refreshing, addicting! I'm pretty much a newb to Yoga, but Jen B.'s beginners class just might have me hooked. She made it so easy to follow along in the class without having to look up at her to see how to do the moves, she takes you through every step. She instructed a class of 28 today without any problems. What I really liked about her class compared to other classes is that she really talked about the theory behind Yoga, so that you could see the bigger picture. She did a great job of talking while we were in the flow of it without seeming like it was taking away from our motions. Every move we did was all fluid motion, no awkward pauses and readjustments to get in position. I left the class feeling like I couldn't even remember anything I was stressed out about before I got there. read more

I've been practicing and teaching yoga for over 10 years and really enjoy experiencing yoga classes in different cities and countries. I was excited to find this studio but my enthusiasm was quickly dampened. The studio itself is very nice and the staff welcoming, taking the time to introduce themselves to the students, learn names and ask about injuries. Unfortunately, at the beginning of class each instructor spent the first 10 minutes talking about herself and then tried to tie her monologue to a theme for the class. (One instructor acknowledged that we'd heard her story before but insisted on telling it again.) Another instructor was very particular about the class doing what she instructed and not veering from her direction - even if it was to move to a more advanced or modified version of a pose. Rather than encouraging students to feel free to explore their own practice she limited us to the confines of her sequencing without variation. With so many classes packed mat to mat, it's no wonder that this studio was barely at 1/2 of capacity in any of the 5 classes I attended. Sadly, I would not recommend this studio. read more

the classes are limited but the instructors are really nice. the studio is hardly a studio. i guess this place is just a lot smaller and "family business-y" than i was expecting. the last studio i came from was corepower! would not recommend or go back read more

A coworker and I bought the 10-class Groupon/Living Social deal, and we have been to Yoga Village 4 or 5 times now. We've had just as many instructors and they have all been good. We chose this studio specifically based on location (close to our office) and class times (conveniently begin right after we get off work), and I have been pleased with our choice. I practice yoga at home several times a week. but I do enjoy going to classes occasionally to learn new poses, be challenged, and have an instructor correct and encourage me. The instructors at Yoga Village aren't intimidating and they make you feel welcome no matter your skill level. We even inadvertently attended a teacher training class and thought we were going to be severely out of place but the teacher was warm and accommodating to our level of relative (in)experience. I have been to several different yoga studios and this one is very much about the yoga practice as a whole, not necessarily just the physical practice. Classes start with mantras or quiet meditation, some have even involved essential oils, which was a nice additional element to enjoy. One thing I have noticed is that the instructors do a lot more verbal instructing (vs doing the poses with you) than I have experienced at other studios. I have been to classes where the instructor does just about every move with you, and that is not always the case with Yoga Village. If you don't know the names of the asanas/poses, you have to hope your neighbor does so that you can copy them. To their credit, if most of the class seems lost, they'll happily demonstrate. The studio is cozy, but not too small. Plenty of room for three or four rows of students to practice comfortable without being on top of each other. Bathroom is large, with thoughtful amenities (ponytail holders, sanitary products, etc.) that really go the extra mile. It's unfortunate that a regular price membership is so expensive, otherwise I would seriously consider continuing to attend after our 10 classes are up. Unfortunately for me $90 a month is a little more than I can spend for a yoga membership. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this studio a try for all levels of yoga and if you're looking for a studio that focuses on the heart, mind AND body. read more

Great studio. Don't get to this part of town very often, but I will make the effort to drive up on weekends for special events. The teachers are experienced and welcoming. There are multiple classes available for every level of practice. read more

I LOVE Yoga Village! This is a sweet studio with kind, genuine, well-trained instructors. This really is a great place for beginners to get acquainted with yoga, as well as advanced yogis to expand their practice. They have great workshops too. My only regret is that I didn't find this studio sooner! read more

I've taken yoga classes at various gyms and studios in Scottsdale and Yoga Village beats them all by far. The unlimited membership is the best price you'll find anywhere, the studio is beautiful, and the people are wonderful. There is a wide variety of classes and times, so it's very easy to fit into most people's schedules. read more

The best studio around. Lots of classes and very well trained teachers. I recommend highly. Each class is great and clients are friendly!!

I started going to Zenergy yoga after my daughter was born beacuse it offered a Baby and Me class and it was close to where I work. It quickly became my favorite place that I've ever done yoga. Ali, the owner, taught the baby and me class and was always friendly, and knew all of us by name. They also put on great events from time to time, like "Vino and Vinyasa." It's also great for the whole family because they offer children's classes,family yoga and they'll even do birthday parties and other events. I've really liked all the instructors for each of the classes I've taken and I would highly reccommend this studio to anyone. read more

I love this place. The slow flow class is a great way to deepen my practice. There isn't a lot of hustle and traffic, which allows for a more intimate experience while connecting with oneself. read more

Zenergy merged about a month ago with Yoga Village. The new studio is located in the Scottsdale Airpark, and has a big open room with high ceilings and natural light. Most of the Zenergy teachers came over and the schedule offers classes 7 days a week from 6:15 to 7pm. There are classes for every level, and both the instructors and the students are warm and welcoming. I've been practicing here about 9 months and it has seriously transformed my life. read more

Zenergy is like no other Yoga studio you have EVER attended! Ali and her wonderful team of instructors set the bar for top notch yoga instruction, a warm and friendly atmosphere, and personal attention to each and every student. No matter what level your practice is - from beginner to advanced, you will be welcomed with a warm smile and encouraged to do your best each time you step onto your mat. Careful attention to proper positioning is guided by all the instructors. Zenergy is yoga as yoga is meant to be practiced! read more

After seeing all the good feed back on this place I decided to try it, my first time on a yoga mat and Jen was awesome. She noticed I was new and said hi before the class started. I took the beginners class, It was great, they do short meditation sessions at the beginning and end which I really enjoyed. Highly recommend it read more

I attended flow classes here while on vacation in Scottsdale and had an amazing experience. The owner (Ali Kamen) is gracious and welcoming. The studio is inside the AZ on the Rocks facility. It is on the smallish side, but was certainly suitably sized for the classes offered. The classes I attended were taught by Julie Blew and Ali. The classes were dynamic and challenging. I look forward to attending more classes on my next visit to Scottsdale. read more

Yoga Village is my fiancé and I's favorite yoga studio in North Scottsdale. Class sizes are always consistently at a great number of about 10-12 people. Enough room to spread out and not be touching the person next to you in any poses but enough people in the class to motivate you. All of Jen's classes are amazing and but all of the classes are great! Try this studio out, you won't be disappointed! read more

The way Ali shares her passion for yoga and balances that with her unique ability to engage and motivate all age groups is truly amazing. There are not many fitness instructors, let alone coaches, who can cross all age groups; Ali accomplishes this through her enthusiasm for a healthy lifestyle and ability to explain the techniques and benefits of yoga on a level each group will understand and enjoy. Watching my seven year old son, Connor, become more engaged and enthusiastic about his yoga classes is a testament in itself given he is like many other active sport going seven year old boys. Each week he looks forward to participating in Ali's class and asks about it when we are not able to attend class. read more

Yoga Village is one of the few if not only non heated yoga studio in North Scottsdale. It is a small studio with one room for practicing yoga among a wonderful community of people who range in all ages, sizes, backgrounds, gender, etc. It is by far the most diverse yoga studio I have been to in North Scottsdale and I am happy to have found them. I have had many bad experiences in North Scottsdale trying to find a yoga studio that actually respects the practice and isn't just about posing for Instagram. The Level 1 classes are very approachable for beginners and all alike with variations offered for more or less of a challenge/growth. All of the instructors are knowledgeable, respectful, and friendly. The clientele here is so warm and inviting, this studio attracts great people. I did a 2 week intro and went to 3 different classes (Level 1, Gentle Yoga, and Sunday Stretch), each class I went to I asked around about what to expect as some/most classes require props which the studio provides such has bolsters, blankets, blocks, slings, or sandbags - everyone I spoke with was so encouraging and pleasant. This is not a place where you will feel judgement. I read a review saying it has a "hippie" vibe - I would call it an accepting atmosphere where they help you better, perfect, and challenge your practice. I have been coming here for a year now and cannot recommend it enough to people interested in practicing yoga. read more

Best yoga studio I have ever taken classes from, and the only studio in the Phoenix area that teaches true yoga form. Yoga instructors at Yoga Village are extremely knowledgeable and enable students to advance their yoga practice by providing individualized direction on how to adjust yoga poses to achieve a deeper and more precise form. read more

Just started Yoga for the first time two months ago. This is an excellent place to start. The instructors are knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and give each student personal attention. If you are considering Yoga, this is perfect for you. The classes are fun and upbeat yet not overcrowded. read more

Yoga Village has always been the best place for yoga but now that they've merged with Zenergy Yoga, it just got better. The instructors are so knowledgeable, professional, and fun. Every class is a little different which makes it interesting, and because each and every instructor is so good at what they do, you can take a class at any different time and know you will be challenged and satisfied. I've been practicing yoga here for at least 6-7 years, and couldn't be happier. Keep up the great work, Yoga Village! read more

I almost despaired of finding a welcoming, supportive yoga studio in Scottsdale, one that didn't feature "hot" yoga and blaring music. I am a relative, but eager, novice and all 3 classes I have taken thus far have been wonderful including: flow, Basic anusara and basic level 1. All the instructors I had, Mae, Clara and Katrina were welcoming and explained things well. In addition, they were very focused on the students, correcting poses, offering modifications, etc. None of the classes exceeded 10 people so not sure about people complaining about the groupon offers. If you sign up online, you are going to get a spot I have found so, plan a bit ahead and stop whining. read more

Clean, full of smart people and a very well freshened studio, just some of the things that I come to love about this place. This is one of the best places in the city. read more
