Finding the right yoga studio can be the key to deepening your practice, unwinding after a busy week, or simply discovering your new favorite way to move. Whether you’re searching for a no-judgment beginner space, crave hot yoga intensity, or love a side of sound healing with your savasana, Mesa has plenty of options to explore.
Let’s get to it.
Radius Fitness
If you’re looking for a workout spot that feels like a supportive friend, Radius Fitness in Mesa hits the mark. It’s not flashy, but it shows up consistently and makes you feel at home. From cycling and strength sessions to a yoga sampler with All Levels Flow, Hatha, Yoga Sculpt and even yin-restorative classes, you can keep things low key or crank up the intensity.
The instructors, Samantha, Renee, Kiley, Amber and Kelly, bring serious expertise in Yoga Nidra, Reiki and other certifications. Classes happen in a cross-training style gym so the vibe is laid-back and no one’s judging your form. Mats, blocks and props are available to borrow… or you can bring your own. Spinners will like the bikes that track your stats.
Schedules make sense for people who work normal hours or need some shut-eye, and they offer nutrition support, military discounts and weekly community workshops. It all adds up to a place where fitness feels helpful instead of intimidating.
Upward Light Healing and Yoga
When you swing by Upward Light Healing and Yoga in downtown Mesa, you find more than your average mat and sweat session. They offer massage therapy, chakra energy work and a yoga menu that really stands out. All Level classes meet you where you are, and Crystal Magic lets you set the mood with your own stones. Chair Yoga provides extra support, Healthy Back classes teach gentle spine care, and Kids Yoga gets the little ones moving with age-appropriate stretches.
The founder, Kara Ford, has a 25-year massage resume, and the instructors bring specialties from Ayurveda to Aerial and Kundalini. Classes run every day, plus signature workshops like the Butterfly Effect ceremony in spring and Winter Solstice celebrations. No RSVP is required and your first class is five bucks if you want to give it a shot. The vibe stays clean and quiet with personal lockers and gender-neutral bathrooms. Bring your own mat or borrow one on site. Parking is easy and there’s even drop-off Kids Yoga if you need childcare. It all adds up to a welcoming wellness hub.
Yoga Pulse Studio
Stepping into Yoga Pulse Studio in Mesa feels like a choose-your-own-adventure, except you’re probably sweating. The main room stays toasty around 102 to 104 degrees with humidifiers cranked. If you prefer an unheated option, check out the Red Room for a change of pace. And don’t skip the free community class every Sunday. It’s a nice way to try out different styles.
Their class mix is wild. One minute you’re grounding yourself with crystal singing bowls, the next you’re flipping upside down in aerial yoga or grabbing your mat for a Kid Basics workshop. They really mean it when they say All Levels, All The Time, so beginners and pros get the same care and attention.
The teachers layer in aromatherapy and sound healing for an extra rhythm boost. After class you can hit the smoothie bar and rinse off in real showers with towel service ready. Parking is plentiful, and mats plus blocks are available to rent. They even host women’s self-defense sessions and full moon meditations to keep the community vibe alive.
The Foundry Tempe-Mesa
Hot yoga at The Foundry Tempe-Mesa somehow feels inviting instead of intimidating. They crank up the infrared heat for classic 90-minute Bikram sessions and Hot Flow vinyasa classes that add a fun twist. If you want to mix it up, try Hot Pilates or Barre, which blend strength and cardio in that warm, glowing room. Saturday afternoons bring a free Basic Yoga class that’s great for complete beginners, and you’re welcome to skip the mat setup if you’re new. They’ve got blocks and other props on standby.
Classes stay small enough that you aren’t just another body in a packed studio. Instructors are certified, and a few even train other yoga teachers on the side. The app makes booking a breeze and you won’t panic in the spacious changing rooms. Guest parking is available right on site, so you can roll in and roll out without stress. If you need to cool down, their on-demand video library is robust, letting you sweat or stretch at home any time.
Exhale Yoga AZ
When you step inside Exhale Yoga AZ in Mesa, you’ll immediately feel the community focus and good vibes. They offer yoga classes every day, from early mornings and lunch breaks to evenings. If you love hot rooms, they’ve got heated yoga, and if you want something less steamy, their Warm Flow keeps humidity in check. You’ll also find Yin, yoga Nidra, restorative sessions, and even weekend kids yoga for ages three to ten.
The instructors here are top notch. Many hold E-RYT 500 credentials and have extra training in Reiki, oncology yoga, bodywork, or triathlon prep. Everyone is welcomed with a nurturing, spirit-filled energy without overdoing it.
Pricing is hard to beat: your first class is a dollar, or you can try a month of unlimited classes for $60. They even run small teacher-training programs if you’re dreaming of leading your own classes. With expert staff, solid facilities, and a true sense of heart, Exhale Yoga AZ is more than just a place to stretch and sweat.
Mountainside Fitness Cadence East Mesa
It kind of feels like the “everything” gym your cousin mentions at Thanksgiving when you walk into Mountainside Fitness Cadence East Mesa. As part of a big chain, you get multi-club access and perks you didn’t know you needed. There are full-service locker rooms, a smoothie spot called MCafe and MKids childcare that gives you a break. Parking is never an issue so you can head inside without a workout warm-up of the car hunt.
The Serenity Yoga Studio is a standout. It’s tucked away from the weights area, so you almost forget you’re in a gym. It’s not heated, which is a plus if you prefer a gentler flow. The lighting and sound system keep things mellow while classes range from easy stretches to sessions that will leave your legs wobbling. Instructors often teach barre and Pilates too, so they bring a lot of know-how. With about eighty group classes a week and virtual on-demand options, you can drop in or roll out your mat at home. Props are ready in every class, and your membership covers it all, with no surprise fees.
Yoga Nirvana
Over in Tempe, Yoga Nirvana offers a no-fluff, old-school yoga experience inside Singh Meadows. The space feels genuine and unpretentious. You’ll find daily classes ranging from beginner Vinyasa flows to Ashtanga, power yoga, and slow-release Yin sessions that really test your flexibility. If you’re up for something different, they host brewery yoga nights and quirky community pop-ups on occasion.
New students get their first class free, which is perfect for testing out the bring-your-own-mat approach. While you usually bring your own props, teachers are happy to loan a block or strap if you ask. If you want in-depth training, they offer Yoga Alliance registered teacher programs covering alignment, Bandhas, and authentic yogic philosophy.
Parking is straightforward with free spots in the lot or along the street. You can join classes online or in person, and they even organize retreats in Italy and France. Yoga Nirvana keeps it real for serious practitioners who don’t need flashy extras.
The Zen Den of Gilbert
You’ll find The Zen Den of Gilbert tucked into a cozy suite, offering yoga and Pilates for anyone looking to unwind. There’s no hot-room sweat fest here, just a variety of classes like Vinyasa, mid-day Kundalini with Kim, and evening Candlelight Bliss if you want to wind down after work.
Darien, the owner, leads meditation and Reiki sessions, while Sarah and Brittany guide most of the restorative offerings. The small-studio atmosphere feels homey, and they also host workshops in sound healing, women’s circles, and pop-up park events.
Up front you can shop a few wellness items, and you’ll find services like massage, Pilates classes, sound baths, and energy work. Drop-in prices are about $25, with class packs available, or you can opt for a two-week trial if you want to test the waters before committing.
The Healing Tree Collective
At The Healing Tree Collective, yoga goes hand in hand with a full range of holistic wellness. You can take Hatha, Yin, Restorative, or their unique Vibration Flow, which feels more like a gentle experiment than a workout. The daily schedule shifts often, keeping things fresh for everyone—whether you’re a total beginner or just someone who loves variety.
They also offer breathwork sessions, Reiki, and even occasional Witch~Craft circles or mini-retreats. If you prefer to lie down and listen, the sound-healing classes are perfect for those days you just need to decompress.
The studio stays cool and calm, with no gym vibes or blasted heat. Every teacher brings their own style but shares a solid background in helping students feel at home. Memberships have no hidden fees, and you can try everything during a $35 unlimited week. Whether you join online or in person, the focus here is on community and gentle support.
Arizona Yoga Co.
Down in downtown Tempe, Arizona Yoga Co. occupies a historic Mill Avenue basement, complete with no-shoe etiquette and cubbies near the door. Classes run on a donation basis—ten to fifteen dollars suggested, but you pay what you can. If you’ve only got a few bucks, you won’t get side-eyed.
The vibe is cozy and low-key, without overpowering incense or surprise birth-chart chants. Certified instructors offer clear cues and modifications for all levels. You’ll find classes for early birds, lunch breakers, night owls, weekends, and even holidays. Power Vinyasa with candles some nights, slow flows, Yin, yoga Nidra, meditation, and sound baths—there’s always something happening.
All levels are welcome, and you can drop in, hop on a Zoom link, or head to park yoga when the weather cools down. They don’t supply mats, so you never have to worry about someone else’s sweat smell.
Protea Movement Studio
Protea Movement Studio in Tempe brings a cozy, boutique style to every class. With room for just 24 people, you get plenty of personal space and zero judgment. The studio still covers all the yoga basics, but they mix it up nicely. You can flow through a slow or fast Vinyasa, melt into Yin Yoga, drift off during Yoga Nidra, or explore some Kundalini moves.
If ballet-inspired workouts are your thing, they run Barre classes too. The schedule ranges from gentle beginner sessions to more intense, performance-style flows. Each month they host workshops like a Women’s Circle or a sound bath—perfect if you’re curious about deeper practices.
Instructors are pros at what they teach: Lauren leads spiritual classes, Edana runs Vinyasa, and Michelle and Celeste are your go-to for Barre. Mats, towels, even a locker to stash your stuff—it’s all included. Parking in Tempe isn’t a nightmare here, and the touchless check-in is a breeze for everyone.
YogaSix San Tan Village
If you’ve ever worried you need to audition for Cirque du Soleil or join a candlelit cult just to roll out a mat, YogaSix San Tan Village offers a fresh alternative. It’s one of over 200 studios in the chain, but this spot feels like a cool, modern boutique rather than a hushed temple. You won’t feel out of place if your Downward Dog wobbles more than usual.
The class menu has something for everyone. Try Y6 101 if you’re new, or Power Flow when you’re ready to sweat. They’ve got a heated room for signature classes… but you can also pick non-heated sessions, which is clutch in Arizona. Six instructors rotate through a packed schedule, starting as early as 5:15 AM and running into the evening.
Extras like mat rentals and free on-site parking make life easier, especially when you’re juggling bags and water bottles. There are community events all the time, and chair-friendly access means pretty much anyone can join in.
