Gilbert Yoga

I’m visiting from out of town and trying some yoga classes in the area. Gilbert Yoga was wonderful! I took a class with Lisa who was a lot of fun. She really focused on the joyful aspects this class. The studio is very welcoming, no-​nonsense, inviting, and unpretentious. I had a great experience!

I LOVE this place! On the advise of my physical therapist (neck/​shoulder pain) I needed to find a yoga studio, and I am SO GLAD I found this place! I knew nothing about yoga when I joined and everyone there is incredibly helpful, kind, sensitive and just genuinely caring! I only go once a week, but it is the one day a week I really look forward to. Cassandra has such a peace about her, as do all of the instructors I’ve encountered. As soon as I walk in the door I feel more calm. It is not one of those uppity, assuming yoga studios where everyone tries to out-​dress each other. It is very welcoming and comfortable. I have even started attending their sound healing once a month and it is AMAZING! What are you waiting for? GO, GO, GO!

ALL the events here, from the yoga class classes, to sound healing, to the Kirtan offered are heart felt and wonderful. I did the teacher training here as well, so I’ve spent a lot of time there! Life changing, wonderful experience. Gilbert Yoga has a special place in my.

I found Gilbert Yoga at a time in my life when I needed it most, I didn’t realize at the time how much I needed it but I did. Gilbert Yoga helped to awaken me back to me, back to my life, back to being present and following my passion. Since my introduction to Gilbert Yoga, I’ve been blessed to say it’s been my sanctuary, full of inspiration and community. When you enter the space you can feel there is something special in the air, you see and or experience the welcoming hugs, smiling faces, and kinds eyes. Not just from the instructors but the students as well. The students know there is something special at Gilbert Yoga and you can see how they too radiate with gratitude for being part of it. Every teacher I have encountered in this space has been humble and very attentive to mine and others needs in a practice. Thank you Gilbert Yoga for all you have given me, thank you Cassandra for keeping Gilbert Yoga as a beacon of light in our community! So what are you waiting for… give it a try!

I love Gilbert Yoga! You can feel the vibe of peace and love when you walk in the door. Cassandra and the girls are fantastic teachers and wonderful people in general. I never thought I could feel comfortable in a yoga studio. I’m so happy I have found a place where I feel wonderful! Namaste

It’s been such a long time since I’ve been here, so my review is for years ago when I went here. Cassandra, or whoever she calls herself, was amazing and wonderful. Learned a lot and I took my little girl here, too. Loved it, but was too involved in my other exercise stuff to stick with the yoga. My loss.

This is my FAVORITE yoga studio. The teachers have the spirit of yoga. It is a welcoming place, non-​competitive, and true to the true practice of yoga teaching several kinds of yoga. I appreciate this place so much. Many yoga studios are just exercise classes or they seem competitive or elitist or do not teach to «honor your body.» Gilbert yoga is true to The TRUE PRACTICE OF YOGA.
I love it! After going to India and experiencing amazing gurus, I returned to realize that this studio really had the spirit of yoga.
Sidenote: I went to a class with a friend at another studio I used to attend years ago. The teacher was irresponsible as a teacher and encouraged discomfort, encouraged being at the edge … of injury, I think. And shivasana was just a few minutes, which was a shame.

I just moved to the area and after much research, decided to try Gilbert Yoga for my go to studio.
I just participated in my first class tonight and can say that I’m glad I found this awesome space.
The facility itself is clean and has a soothing feel. Great lighting. Prices are very reasonable as well.
I will definitely be back!

Gilbert Yoga has a welcoming energy and atmosphere that will draw in every level of person. I have only attended prenatal yoga at Gilbert Yoga and it is hands down the best experience! Lisette and Lanita are incredibly skilled and knowledgable. Their energy flows into the mamas and offers strength, gratitude and trust. I really cannot wait to be pregnant again, just to return to prenatal yoga here!

One of the very few not-​only-​bikram yoga studios in Gilbert. I’ve been taking classes with Paige (Yoga Therapeutics/​Conscious Alignment) for a couple of month. She is awesome: finds adjustments and modifications for all levels /​conditions, seems to be very knowledgeable and, undoubtedly, enjoys what she is doing.

Authentic… I know when I need to practice without all the extras. Gilbert Yoga is where I want to unroll my mat. They are passionate about sharing yoga with the community and it reflects through their teachers and studio. They are creating a true space for us to find the essence of yoga.

Gilbert yoga is great! The instructors are very knowledgeable and conscious of proper form. I’m so greatful for that. If your looking something other than yoga this is not the place but if yoga is what your looking for Gilbert yoga is the best.

I am not much of a Yogi but I do love yoga now and then. When I feel the urge to put on my yoga pants and do a few sun salutations I head over to Gilbert Yoga. I have been there for several workshops as well and even my kids have enjoyed the kid’s yoga class. I highly recommend Gilbert Yoga!

LOVE this place! I recently did a search for local prenatal yoga classes and found Gilbert Yoga online. Their excellent Unilocal reviews made me even more encouraged to try them out. I’m so glad I did! The prenatal class with Lisette is phenomenal, I feel so good afterwards, both inside and out. It’s not intimidating or overwhelming as some yoga studios might feel. They welcome everyone, new and experienced and really focus on your overall happiness and the experience. The classes are donation-​based so you contribute whatever amount of cash you can afford/​feel comfortable with. What a great concept! I would HIGHLY highly recommend Gilbert Yoga!

I love Gilbert Yoga. The vibe is amazing and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve taken mostly Cassandra’s and Kim’s classes and they have helped me discover my passion for yoga. I’m an ex football player that’s used to doing weights and competitive sports which I still do but nothing comes close to how fulfilling yoga has become for me. I’m always reminded its not a competition and to be in the present moment which has not only helped me physically but mentally and spiritually as well.
They also have many varieties if your a beginner or if you want to sweat and detox in hot yoga or if you want to do a relaxing deep stretch class they have that as well.
The fact it is based on a donation system tells me its not about the business its about bringing yoga to the community. That tells you what they are about right there. I donate every time I go though, the teachers just put their heart into every class they do.
Take a class you won’t regret it!

Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like Yoga has become a «fad» in the last couple of years than just a great form of meditation of exercise. A lot of new studios open all the time and they all try to offer something «trendy» to stick out from the pack.
Gilbert Yoga truly deserves the 5 starts that it constantly gets because its the essence of the legit ‘old school’ yoga. Its incredibly unpretentious, simple and focused on the exercise itself. The teachers are caring and very relaxed, the rooms are nice and kept clean and their schedule is filled with different classes to fit anyone’s crazy agenda. I am a big fan of their 6am M-​W-​F classes (when I managed to wake up that early) and their 7pm hot yoga class.
They offer classes for pregnant women and children, as well as different temperature rooms and different yoga types. I am a big fan of their «donation» system– every class has a suggested donation of $ 12. Whatever donations they collect goes to the teacher giving that class. They have it as a donation (instead of fixed price) because they believe all people should have access to yoga regarding of their finances. They don’t want people to miss out because they are $ 12 short.
If that’s not zen, then I don’t know what is.

Gilbert Yoga captures what yoga really should be. Hands down the best studio I’ve been to in the entire east valley. Nice range of classes to choose from. Caring and unpretentious. A very comfortable place to practice. Knowledgable instructors. The cost is lower than most studios, which I believe speaks to their generous philosophy, because nothing at all is sacrificed.

I have been practicing yoga for years and have had the opportunity to be in class with some wonderful teachers in a few different cities. I am now «full-​time RV-​ing» & many times have to practice yoga with a cd or iPhone ap or just put together a practice of my own. I prefer this type of home practice over a studio or teacher that does not inspire me. But when I am lucky enough to happen on a beautiful space & inspiring teacher I really appreciate it.
Such a place is Gilbert Yoga! I practiced this morning with Heather who I believe was subbing for someone else & boy was I lucky! And because we will be in town for 6 more weeks I purchased a 10 class pass & look forward to returning.
I have returned twice since the my draft above & had the opportunity to practice with Cassandra, who was also a wonderful teacher — thoughtful, peaceful & full of happiness.
Namaste

It’s nice to have a yoga studio in Gilbert, really nice. There seems to be an abundance of studios in Phoenix, Tempe, even Chandler but Gilbert definitely lacks in that department.
I started going to Gilbert Yoga after I took a job that no longer allowed me to go my regular studio in Tempe. I live in Gilbert so at first, Gilbert Yoga was more of a convenience than anything. Honestly, I’ve been thrilled with every teacher taken and specifically Ingrid and Robin. Now, it’s not just convenience, I love everything about the studio.
I really enjoy taking yoga classes with a mix of people and it makes me happy to see a studio that caters to all levels, all ages, and doesn’t turn anybody off. I’ve seen more 55+ yoga enthusiasts here than any other studio and it puts a huge smile on my face.
The studio has expanded. I took a class years ago and at that time the studio was only one room. They now have two rooms and a cute little entry way. It must mean they’re doing something right! I love the studio, it’s a breath of fresh air in an otherwise muted suburban landscape.

Easily the best yoga studio I have been to and I have been to quite a few.
Full disclosure, I started going to yoga and studying with Cassandra (now, NIschala) about 8 years ago. She is one of the main people at Gilbert Yoga. For me, it is her voice in my head telling to «create an inner spiral», «tuck my tail bone», and «take your practice off the mat». It was her great guidance and care that got me REALLY into yoga. It was her enthusiasm that helped me unlock some really great things in my life. So I am biased, sue me. If that is not enough of an endorsement, keep reading.
The teachers at Gilbert Yoga are awesome. Nischala, Ingrid, Diane, etc. All wonderful. They are helpful to beginners and very knowledgeable and encouraging to those moving along the path.
The space is great. The vibe is wonderful and I always leave classes with a big buddha smile on my face. I take as many people as I can to this studio. I even took my dad and brother. They were visiting from CA and we went to a Friday morning «power yoga» class. Oh man! Two big buys (my bro and dad are both over 6 foot 3) who love beer and meat and football… doing hand stands on their first try. Unbelievable!!! I laughed for like two weeks. They don’t practice yoga, but they totally «get it». They told everyone at our family events how they «went to yoga». Dude. Hilarious.
So if you are thinking of trying yoga for the first time, or trying to find a studio and that is friendly, fun and challenging, check it out.
