My first yoga studio in Arizona. I highly recommend it, their are alot classes to choose from. The teachers I've met are lovely. Sherry Liz read more

Beautiful studio with a peaceful, yogic feel. I felt so welcomed by the front desk staff and instructor. Great instruction and adjustments. Class was great and I like the variety of time and styles of yoga they offer here. From Ashtanga to Qi to Yin, they offer a good selection. On the schedule, they also indicate whether it is all levels or not. I would have liked more used of Sanskrit for my practice, but I did attend an all levels class so the use of English was actually good for any beginners in the room. First Class Free is always a bonus. I will be returning to Metta Yoga soon. read more

This is a wonderful studio! There are a variety of classes and the rooms are quite nice and peaceful. All the teachers have delivered a great experience. read more

I'd like to apologize in advance. The reason being that I tend to mostly rate businesses with 5 stars. Why am I apologizing? Because, often you will see a wide array of reviews by most yelpers. I tend to stay away from places that really screw things up and i don't always think it's fair to blast all businesses for every blunder. Yelp is great when traveling or in your own neighborhood, it gives the answers that you are looking for ( alot like google) and without hesitation. There are no sputters or maybe's when Yelp doles out an answer, it is what it is. I often feel the same way about the businesses that I frequent. I CHOOSE to mostly visit businesses that are local. To spend my hard earned cash at places that accept me as I accept them, without judgment or hesitation. That is why, my yelp friend's, I give out Five Star Reviews. In my honest opinion, they are the best. Metta is a quiet haven if you are seeking Yoga for the first time or not. It is situated in a small plaza and always has plenty of parking. The staff is happy that you have decided to walk in their door and it shows. Last night, I attended Max Cohen's class with Sara G. at 5:30pm. Expecting it to be packed (as is often the case at the Camelback Village where he also teaches), we arrived about 15 minutes early. Plenty of room for us. The class was typical, meaning I LIKED IT. Yoga isn't a work out, it's a work-in. Think about that for a second. 2 weeks ago, I visited Zuzana's class at the Phoenician, Candlelit Flow. Did you know that Metta is also the Yoga Studio at the Phoenician Resort? Yes, it is awesome. Imagine driving to your Yoga class, then having a massage at the Center for Well-being. A mini-vacation just for you. And it is possible, almost everyday! This is why the Five Star review. What other studio in town has the intimacy of a neighborhood studio, with a sincere staff and the prestige of a world-class resort like the Phoenician? read more

The ambiance of the studio is calm and inviting. Everyone welcomed me from employees to fellow yogis. I felt right at home. The instructors are knowledgeable and inclusive. I'm looking forward to trying all the variety of classes they offer. read more

Love Metta! I've moved around the last several years and the first thing I do to get grounded once we settle into a new city is find a good yoga studio. My first visit to Metta for what I believe was a slow flow class told me instantly, I found my place. The instructors at Metta are top notch, the classes are perfectly balanced and there is something for everyone from beginner to advanced. Zuzanna the owner of Metta teaches a lot of the classes and if she can't get your Zen on...no one can! There is a sense of community at Metta that is hard to explain and harder to duplicate..it's special! It would be impossible to feel intimidated at this studio, it's everything a fantastic yoga studio should be and more....highly recommend Metta! read more

This studio "gets it". Some yoga studios feel sterile and soul-less and this is not one of them. It has true heart, soul and provides a plethora of workshops and tools to truly connect with Self, and others. I particularly enjoyed Zuzana's clases. Can't wait to try more. read more

What can I say except this is one of my favorite places in Phoenix! Zuzana, The owner has created an incredible community and you really have to try it out for yourself! read more

I Came to Metta yoga w one of my friends because she kept raving about how amazing this place was. And you know what? It really is!! Even though this place is about 30 mins away from me I don't mind coming here. The instructors are so nice and very welcoming. I enjoy going to yoga nidra classes with Jennifer and always look forward to seeing her. The atmosphere and rooms are very relaxing and comfortable and I love that they provide all of the equipment for you. (towels, mats, bolsters, etc) it makes my life a little easier knowing I can just grab my clothes and change in their Very clean restrooms. I love not having to bring anything w me. Def try the 30 days for 30 dollars new client special. You won't regret it! read more

Metta Yoga is the best yoga studio in phoenix and Scottsdale. I started yoga practice in Metta yoga 6 months back I am able to see so much difference in myself in all the aspects, All experienced teachers will give you more suggestions, encouragement and so much friendly. These days are the best days in my life and I don't want to give up my yoga practice to the end of life. In every class had an experience that what should be my situation/condition if I don't start yoga practice(enjoying the every class that keeps motivating me to continue my classes). I am feeling very much good physically and mentally getting more awareness, I started loving myself, my family and spending the very good time with friends spreading the positive impact to my surrounding people. I am very much thankful to Zuzana(you are great human being, all your classes are my most favorite) and all the teachers are great. I want to give more than 5 rating system allow me to give only 5. This is the first time I felt like writing the review. I am very happy to be the part of this family. namaste _/|\_ Naga read more

Best yoga studios in town! A vast variety of great classes with fantastic teachers, this is THE yoga studio! During the pandemic, there are many online Zoom classes to keep you in shape, both physically and mentally. I am coming up on 20 years of finding bliss among this amazing group of teachers and students that has become a second family to me. read more

I love this place for yoga. Originally came on special which was Beyond reasonable something like $39 for unlimited month. Classes are large and booking the ones at Phoenician are extra special, but only 2 openings for Metta Yogis the rest are for hotel guests. Great teachers that inspired the yogi inside of me to come out! They offer classes for ever level and many types: Kundalini, Aerial, Nidra ect. Classes are pricey after specials but worth the cost. read more

SO glad to be able to get back to the new, bigger AND even better location! It's been years since I've been back to PHX. It's bigger and still busy, so glad to have this epic break at the lovely larger studio. Good to see some things improve with age! read more

I've been coming to Metta for the last three years and I must say this is what a yoga studio should be. I do Yin and Yang and silk aerial restorative classes and they are so well done. I've learned in yoga it's all about the energy and the space. The studio is warm and inviting and the teacher energy serene, inclusive and competent. Metta teachers are so well versed and fun! Sometimes a guitar gets played or there might be silent yoga disco, or a Friday night event to raise awareness of a community charity in need. Metta is all about community and inclusiveness and so glad I get to show up and experience it every week! read more

Metta yoga is a welcoming wonderful community that is constantly giving back to the community as well. Teachers are professional and warm and have been consistent! Any kind of class is available. I can't imagine practicing yoga anywhere else! I feel like its "family" to me! Come try a class and see for yourself. Thomas Avenue or the Phoenician Resort! read more

This is hands down THE BEST yoga studio I have ever been to. Their schedule is diverse, and the times in which their classes are offered are abundant. The space itself is beautiful, calming, and clean. Every instructor, without exception, is warm, kind, non-judgmental, patient, knowledgeable, experienced, and down to earth. No matter where you are in your practice, you can rest assured that you will be accepted with a welcoming spirit and smile. So far, I've had the tremendous pleasure of taking classes from Brittany (Vinyasa Flow), Kari (Ashtanga), Lorilee (Ashtanga), Kurt (Slow Flow), Veronika (Happy Hour Power and Restorative), and Shawna (Ashtanga and Aerial). I feel so fortunate and thankful to have found this amazing studio. read more

REVISION: First of all, thank you Zuzanna for offering a refund. I have bumped up the experience one star for that offer. Second, my review was removed by Yelp. So I shall repost: I went here for about 18 months on and off. Major love that faded as good teachers went away. I adored Kat's 5:30 Fri class. But that's gone. It was also the main reason I re-upped twice with the studio. 6 p Wednesdays features a 'mean girl yoga teacher,' S is not "all welcoming" You'd better be invited on her 4:30 Saturday or pay the interrogational price tag. The class alienates anyone who is not in her posse but wants to give it a shot as it fits into the schedule. Your heart does not matter to her, only the amount of Lululemon on your bod. I took a Monday class that was an experience into the male yoga Bro-ohm-mance culture. Example the instructor, Mr T, response of, "that's what SHE said" to a fellow female instructor, commenting on the hot temperature of the room, is never appropriate in a yoga studio. Perhaps a bar out with the guys on a Saturday night, but not a Yoga studio. Bonus- he was the only male there. For the record, looming over a person in savansana (sp) so that she thinks she's in Father BadTouch's clutches again is not going to gain a second visit to your class. Perhaps the "JESUS CHRIST" I screamed at a blurry (my glasses were off) looming creepy face, made an impression. I hope this yoga instructor has eliminated that from his practice. Also,the instructor had students pull every single prop out, then we didn't use all them all plus he gave a zen practice when the website promises flow. I want my $ and 90 minutes back. I'll cut the male instructor slack on the prop pull as it was his first class, but inappropriate Bro-bar talk should never be excused I also had a bad Zen practice (that I specifically went for) with another instructor but that's more me than her. read more

Metta is my "home" yoga studio. It is truly a wonderful place to experience yoga. Real honest to goodness Hatha yoga. No hot yoga, no yogarobics, just a very good selection of healing, present, peaceful, strong, positive yoga. The entire staff of this studio is kind, comfortable, helpful and skilled. I love to be here and enjoy the community that you automatically enter just by going to class here. They also have a lovely selection of boutique items, in just the right amount. I am so grateful for Metta! read more

I love this studio! I ended up here on my first night in Scottsdale and haven't wanted to go anywhere else. It's a beautiful studio with two rooms, a nice boutique area and quality props. I enjoy the friendly, welcoming staff and variety of classes. I feel grateful to have found this studio on classpass and be able to continue practicing here! read more

Very welcoming...easy-peasy check-in and purchase procedures...professional and gentle instructors...varied practices and convenient schedules LOOOOOOVE IT HERE! read more

Metta Yoga - Oooooooommmmmmmm - Yoga Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I admit it: I'm a studio-hopper. Metta Yoga hadn't popped up on my radar until my favorite teacher started leading some classes there, so I went to her class this weekend. Of course I loved her class (she's my favorite teacher!) so my review is about the studio in general. Metta is such a calm, peaceful, no-fuss studio. That's what I like! The people are lovely. You'd think that this kind of description is true of all yoga studios but such is not the case. My only negative is the layout of the studio. The bathroom is in the back so you have to walk through the studio to use it, which means if there's a class going on you'll just have to cross your legs and hold it. It's also very narrow so sometimes getting more people in class can be awkward. But really this isn't much to be complaining about! read more

Tonight I went to my first class at Metta Community Yoga. First off, it's so close I can walk and that is beautiful, man. Secondly, MCY offers new students a 15 day trial run for $30, and considering the drop in rate is $14, you will have gotten your moneys worth in just 3 classes. They also offer a 25% if you buy a package (there are many, see website) within that 14 day period. rad! I took the 530PM Yin class which is very mellow and emphasizes deep stretching for ultimate tension release by holding certain poses for about 5 minutes each. The instructor Regina really enhanced the atmosphere with her calming words of support and inspiration and i really appreciated that she came around to help people move deeper into poses or help them modify their moves. It seemed like there were a few other Metta teachers in tonights class which says to me that 'community' isn't just a marketing ploy. I am so excited to practice at MCY - the ideal spot to really focus on learning about and improving your body, not to mention your spirit. read more

I love everything about this yoga studio. It may be in a strip mall, but you'd never guess once you're inside. There's also the option of taking your classes at the Phoenician, which is always beautiful. I got a 10-class pass from Groupon and have only used the first so far, but I can't wait to return next week--and every week after that! Overall, if you're looking for an honest yoga studio with great instructors and MANY class options, this is the place for you. read more

Can't say enough about the atmosphere and feeling of community at this studio. Zuzana and her entire staff provide a high level of instruction and professionalism, while at the same time maintaining a very warm and welcoming environment--regardless of your experience or level of practice. Having practiced at this studio for many years, I highly recommend Metta. Be open, have a big heart, share what you have and ask for what you need! read more

I have never been a member of any other Yoga Studio so I have nothing else to compare it to, but after being with Metta for about a year, I can with all sincerity say that I never want to leave... (although I may have to once I move :() Suzanna is my favorite... her classes are never the same. She also has a wonderful personality, you can't go wrong with metta. read more

Hidden in the corner of a strip mall. Beautiful inside. Love the silk yoga classes with Zuzana.

Back in January, I was feeling incredibly stressed and decided to try out a true yoga class for the first time. (It's hard to believe that a California girl like me had never done yoga before, but I was so into Pilates before moving to Arizona that I never really thought about switching over). My main focus was on the meditative aspect, although of course, physical toning was important to me. Metta gets four stars because of the flexible class times (really nice to be able to make something before or after work), clean studio, nice front desk staff, great intro pricing ($30 for 15 days of unlimited classes), and encouraging instructors. The only drawbacks for me are: 1) they don't offer hot yoga, which I think would be a nice plus and something I would have liked to try; and 2) the instructors were sometimes a bit too hands-on for me to really focus on my energy. I'm all for helping me learn the poses better, but I also was there for personal reasons and the interference was distracting, at times. All in all, I think this is a solid place, and I'm glad my first yoga experience was here. Now that I work downtown, I'll probably try something in that area, but I would definitely return here if I had a workplace or home nearby. read more

My mother and I had a great first experience on the silks with Rhonda. What a fun time! I would highly recommend it to anyone. If my 74 year young mother can do it, most anybody can!!! read more

I frequently stop in for aerial yoga classes and each experience is wonderful. I'm glad that a former lady friend introduced me to the place. Sound Meditation, Aerial Flow, and Nidra are my usual drop ins. They also have an excellent arsenal of instructors. Keep up the great work! #namaste read more

I started my relationship with Metta Community Yoga as a student attending classes taught by Cathy, Lara and Lindsey. I loved the casual atmosphere and beautiful practice they provided. I am a certified yoga instructor and just couldn't resist approaching them to get a class of my own on their schedule. I have been teaching and taking classes at Metta for almost two years now and always encourage everyone I know to check them out. There is yoga for almost everyone offered there. They have a great, full schedule of classes so no matter what your other activities look like, you can find time to take a class at Metta. My 8 year old daughter as well as my 3-9 year old nieces and nephews have gone yoga crazy at Regina's kids' yoga class offered once a week at Metta! It's is so lovely to see children take an interest in such a beautiful art and Metta makes it fun and accessible to kids. This is my first review on YELP and I couldn't be happier that I can praise Metta. Go see for yourself! read more

Metta is amazing. I've been to a few other yoga studios in the area, and nothing compares to Metta. The teachers are amazing, and Zuzana - the owner - is just great. She remembers names and really cares about the little community she's built. read more

Just took the BEST yoga class of my life! If you haven't tried Aerial yet, you must. This class was ultimately perfect. I can't wait to come back, there is some great retail products and a service for facials etc as well. This is a haven to escape to.i really can't say enough good things!! read more

Metta yoga is by far the best yoga studio I have ever experienced! The owner Zuzana is such a good teacher and She has hired a very experienced staff of teachers. If you are brand new to yoga or very experience metta has everyone covered. I have been going to metta for almost a year and a half and I look at life in a different way thanks to the different teachers outlooks on life. I am a very keen golfer and yoga has helped my golf game mentally and psychically! Metta offers every type of yoga you could think of! Certain teachers will make you sweat and burn calories. while others will concentrate more on restorative posses helping you to let go and relax. Every class is very rewarding in it's own way and I feel like I learn something new in every class. A real plus to this studio is that the have quite a few classes per week at the the Phoenician Resort just down the road. The studio room at the Phoenician has spectacular views from the floor to ceiling windows. When the weather is good in the winter they offer outdoor classes at the Phoenician which is a real treat for anyone! Metta also offers a wide range of interesting workshops and they believe very strongly in giving back to the community. Every 2nd Friday of each month they have a free evening class followed by wine with donations going to local charities. read more

Metta Yoga is literally 2 & 1/2 minutes from my house, which is a blessing because I go the 6:30am classes most of the time. I roll out of bed, mat down the mad scientist bed head, spray some cologne (sorry if you are next to me and get distracted by my irresistible scent), and go relax and stretch with the help of some experienced instructors. The environment is great. It is a small, quaint studio by the looks of it, but can surprisingly hold a good number of people. They designed the lighting elements of the studio to block out the sunlight so you can create some dim moods with candle light or just a dimmed light. Good sound system for that type of peaceful music. The instructors are all good, but of course there is some personal preference. I prefer Rasoul on Friday mornings. He is all about posture and alignment. I hurt when I'm doing the pose as he suggests, but it feels so great the rest of the week. I'm tempted to buy his DVDs he has for sale but I know that it will probably be an expensive paperweight as I'm unmotivated to do it by myself. I need the peer pressure of the group to do my Yoga. Peer pressure aside, it is a good place to go with a plentiful number of classes to go to. Namaste. read more

I'm very new to yoga and I saw this special 30 days for 30 dollars and decided to go for it! I'm so happy I did!! Zuzana is very welcoming and sweet. She talked to me about the classes and made me a list of yhe ones that would suit me. The 3 (Nan, Kurt and Michelle) instructors that I've seen are all fantastic and I love every class I've done so far. I'm excited about trying new things and look forward to my next class. read more

This studio is wonderful! There is a big variety of classes to choose from so when I want some relaxation and time to become centered, I take the restorative yoga, yoga nidra classes. When I want to feel energized, I take the Slow Flow class or Vinyasa flow class to gain strength and enjoy the challenge. The teachers are excellent. Most of the classes are "all-levels" so I can take any class, depending upon my mood and energy level. There is no judgment from the instructors or other Metta members so the environment is very supportive and welcoming. The Metta studio is a positive and supportive community. I highly recommend this studio and all of the classes that are offered. You will leave any class feeling positive and peaceful. read more

I am so happy I found this place. Zuzanna was the teacher for my first class. I knew I will become a regular member right after her class! All the teachers there are so experienced and truly love yoga. I fell peace and calm every time I practice there. Come try it out, you will love it here too! read more

Loved the aerial yoga. Teacher very patient and methodical for us beginners! Easy to get to. Easy access

As an avid skier I used to start my conditioning early in the fall. Over the years I could feel my body telling me either condition year round or tone down your aggressive ski style. With options in Phoenix being limited by the long drawn out summers, I was told by a fellow snow lover about Metta. I had tried Yoga when I was younger and found it to be so so. Metta was different. It has a unique vibe and the people who go are totally tuned in as are the instructors. I always come away feeling that I need to do more than my weekly session. After the last year at Metta I can only say I wish I would have found them sooner. read more

Where should I start? Zuzana's yoga classes offer the best of any type of yoga class I've ever taken. They are challenging, rewarding, and the skill she brings to the studio is very unique. I have not had the pleasure of taking all of the classes that Metta has to offer, but have taken enough of the other instructors classes to know that Zuzana has employed a great group of people that love to share the experience of yoga as much as she does. The 2nd Friday of ever month (also known as the Vino Flow Night) is a great way to meet other teachers & students & see just how friendly the community of Metta is. This is a free evening class, so a donation to a local pet charity seems like a very small price when you consider everything you get in return. Metta also offers classes over at the Phoenician Resort & Spa (where I take my primary class) so new students can always meet teachers & students over there it it is closer to their home, and have the beautiful grounds of the Phoenician as their backdrop for a great yoga class. Saturday yoga on the lawn at the Phoenician is especially wonderful during the cooler mornings in late winter through early summer. I would definitely recommend Metta Yoga to anyone visiting from out of town or especially if you're a local area resident. They offer lots of different classes for all types of skill levels! read more
