When I made the appointment I explained what type of massage I was looking for. She told me the price would be $38 and to let the person doing the massage know what I was looking for. Halfway through the massage, the therapist asks how the pressure was. I told him it was perfect. He told me that this was considered a deep-tissue massage and that they were going to increase the price. They charged me $56. I think it is incredibly POOR business practice to tell you the price is going to change once you are on the table. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is because I thought the massage was good. read more

Enjoyed starting my morning with a little or a lot of vigor. Briana will help you find your Tukas! Thanks to the entire staff for such a welcoming experience !Namaste,Kelli G read more

Took a really wonderful class there this morning. I'll start by saying I've practiced yoga for about 15 years and I'm a certified instructor who's taught in her past life. However, since moving to Tucson about a year and a half ago, I let go of my yogi self. Instead I've been taking lots of kickboxing and circuit training classes, which has been a fun adventure, but has also been really hard on my joints. I've found myself with a very sore lower back lately, stiff joints, tight muscles, and a serious need for a yoga fix. I tried Barefoot's yin classes a couple of times, which were pretty good, but I was totally blown away by today's "yoga basics" class now being offered. The instructor managed to make one posture last the entirety of class (besides a warm-up and savasana), yet it still felt challenging. She broke it down in a way that rivals most workshops I've been to, but managed not to lose the yogic philosophy component in the midst of the spot-on physical instruction. It was a great yoga refresher and my SI joint somehow felt better than it has in months upon leaving. Will definitely be back. read more

The classes are ok. I like that they're fairly small. But I've been trying to cancel my membership for 3 months now with no response. DO NOT JOIN as a member. It's next to impossible to get them to cancel the membership. If you go, pay as you go or buy packages. read more

This review is of the Thornydale location: Yoga is personal so please take my review as one person's "personal" opinion. I have tried Barefoot Studios only two times but I won't be back. The first time was just weird. (I won't elaborate as I don't even know if that teacher is still at Barefoot so it wouldn't be fair.) Today I tried the studio again but have the following observations: There is not dedicated space IN the studio classroom to put your belongings, such as your car keys and phone, and the door was shut during the class separating the front office from the studio. Hopefully there is an attendant at the front desk at all times to mind your valuables. The studio was nice, warm and large and today it was very full. Not usually a bad thing but it felt too crowded for my comfort. A woman was allowed to bring her DOG (no, not a downdog!) but an actual real live canine into the class. He was a nice dog and small and didn't make a peep but it was still just weird to have a dog in the studio during a session. In the front row, too. Very weird. Virtually all of the lights were turned way down during class. Really quite dark. Too dark for my taste then off completely during Shavasana except for a candle in the front. Never experienced that before. Again kind of weird. Although I have taken hundreds of yoga classes in five states I am still a happy Level 1-2 student. I have experienced all range of teachers but this teacher did not use enough of the common Asana terms I hear elsewhere. She mostly just directed where to put our hands, feet etc. The tempo ranged from super slow to downright frenetic. Usually there is a distinguishable warm-up, an exploration of poses, with or without flow, and a cool down followed by Shavasana. The description for this class was: "Start your day the Barefoot way! Wake up and dive into this refreshing invigorating, interactive class. Beginners will learn yoga language and be given the opportunity to explore each pose to its fullest in preparation for different level classes, while the more advanced yogi can enjoy holding poses for a little longer than usual to maximize their strength and flexibility. All levels." Um, no. While I was most definitely not the least experienced yogi in the class I think I was the only one who declined to do an inverted pose such as a headstand. Yikes. Even I know enough to know that's not right for beginners. Also we were directed to poses which put pressure on the neck. Keep in mind that the room is full and quite dark. The teacher could not have monitored all of her students enough to justify safely including these poses in her program in my humble opinion. I also missed the mind/body connection that I get from other teachers of yoga. A couple of group chants seemed to suffice for most but I did not get the inner focus from this teacher that I found common in other classes in other cities. For a good yoga class in Tucson, I guess I will keep looking. read more

I've been a consistent monthly member at two different yoga studios over the last 5 years and really love doing yoga as part of my daily routine. I recently moved to Tucson and have been looking for a new place that meets my yoga needs. Barefoot Studio is NOT the one for me. I had heard from others that they offered a free first time visit to try the studio. Both of my previous studios offered a free week of unlimited visits to try the classes out, but I felt one class is better than none so I made a 5 mile trip to attend a class. My first visit was the last day of July, yet the front desk people told me that their "free visit" policy just ended in July, although they ran that promotion "forever". I reminded them that it was still July but they would not honor that promotion. Discouraged, I reluctantly purchased a discounted first month promotional deal. I crossed my fingers that Barefoot Studio would be at least OK. I went to three classes and felt these classes were not great, but at least relaxing after a tough day at work. I brought my wife in at my 4th visit during my first week of trial membership. She wanted to try a class before purchasing a promotional trial, so she paid a one-time walk in visit of $12. Again that class was just OK although way better than what you will find at any local gym. I went 3 more times by myself and enjoyed one of those classes a lot. I encouraged my wife to go again, so she decided to purchase a Groupon for 10 classes at $51 so she could occasionally attend with me since she wasn't sure if a monthly membership would be as useful to her. Her purchase was also a good deal yet much more expensive for her than the promotional month that I purchased. When we attempted to check in together, the front desk person would not accept her Groupon because she previously visited the club. No exceptions, they would not take it. What kind of policy is this? It is obvious to me that this club does not need new business. Not only have they lost my wife as a potential regular monthly member, they have lost me in the process. I will not go back even though I have two weeks remaining on my current membership after watching how they treated my wife. There are many other options for yoga studios here in Tucson, and I'm on my way to a better, less greedy studio that treats new members with added attention and respect. Can anyone recommend an awesome yoga studio in Tucson? read more

I didn't find the staff at the studio particularly friendly. Most of the time the members of the staff at the front desk were talking about other things and I felt like I was interrupting to ask questions. They didn't care that I was new...didn't bother to welcome me or to learn my name. I went to a variety of yoga classes they have to offer. I like that they have different styles but would definitely like to see more power flow. Most of the classes I left feeling like I wanted more. The sequences are good but could use more fluidity. I dislike all the random pauses between poses. With most classes being about an hour...the sequence must be fluid to maximize time and the amount of poses/time in holds. After classes, I found the teacher to disappear or run behind the desk to talk to others...it was hard to ask questions or get suggestions. Most other studios I've been to, the teacher stays in the practice space and offers to answer questions. Overall, okay experience. read more

This is a comfortable, calm studio. As someone who never thought she'd do yoga, I can tell you I feel comfortable here and am enjoying it! This is a great local Tucson business! read more

I just had my second massage with Brianna at Barefoot. She is a great massage therapist and has a very compassionate and healing aura. I would recommend her highly. read more

A welcoming front desk staff, knowledgeable instructors, a meticulously clean studio and affordable pricing combine to make Barefoot Studio an oasis in the desert. In addition to their regular classes, Barefoot regularly offers special workshops with interesting themes. I participated in two and learned a great deal. read more

I love Barefoot Studio! The yoga classes are great. There are a wide variety of teachers and class types, from relaxing to strenuous. I love being able to pick any class level depending on the mood I am in. The owner is so nice and treats everyone wonderfully! I always feel welcome when I walk in the door. read more
