Sumits Yoga Chandler

I have tried hot yoga before and decided to start again even though it has been more than a year. I loved it! New ownership since I have been here and love the atmosphere. Just tell the owner Jen what you are looking for and she will help get you started again. I am already feeling better and am looking forward to better balance and happy joints.
I do not know what took me so long to get back into practice. Happy me!

***PACKAGE FOR SALE!!! 46 CLASS PACKAGE. VERY GOOD DEAL!
ORIGINAL PRICE– 50 CLASS PACKAGE– — $ 529– $ 10.58/ CLASS
MY PRICE– 46 CLASS PACKAGE– $ 200– $ 4.34/CLASS
Unfortunately, I ended up moving to North Scottsdale right after I purchased a 50 class package. :-(The drive is too far for me!
–The 50 class package is listed on Sumits website, the cost for the package is $ 529. I only used 4 classes, so the package I am selling is for 46 classes and expires 09÷15÷16. I am selling this package for $ 200. That’s $ 4.34 per class as opposed to $ 10.58 with the 50 class package purchase. Message me via Unilocal and we will figure out a time for me to meet you at the studio. I’ve already spoken to the owner, whom was as helpful in the situation as she could be. It’s very simple, I would just give authorization to transfer the package to you. Thanks!

What a wonderful experience! Such positive energy and people at this location. My 1^st HOT yoga class and the amazing instructor Alysse Hrey made me feel right at home! She walked the class through everything she wanted from us with such confidence and ability it got the best from her students. The good feelings you get here is from start to finish. I highly recommend Sumits !

After being absent for around 4 months or so I came back to a newly managed Sumits Yoga. New beginnings for a new workout regimen. The setup was changed up with a couple high tables and chairs, as well as a table for retail goods immediately when you walk in. I appreciate the cozy look of the layout but I just wonder how often yogis are actually hanging out on the high tables and chairs. I prefer an open layout. Change is good so maybe people might like it more! :)
I noticed that the Monday 530pm class was highly sparse than the last time I attended months ago. What happened?! At the same time it was nice because it wasn’t too crowded and you can have lots of space around you.
The instructors from the past 2 classes I attended this year were friendly yogis. I’m looking forward to more hot yoga classes! Who wants to join? :)

Sumits Yoga Chandler is a fantastic place to get your Yoga on.
I had my Sumits V-​Card validated at a Unilocal Elite Event in their North Phoenix Studio, and was instantly hooked.
SHOCKER.
Thankfully, there was a new student deal: 2 weeks of unlimited classes for $ 20.
This studio is just as beautiful as the North Phoenix one, spacious, welcome lobby with seating, yoga apparel available for purchase.
And no bleach/​sweat assault on your olfactory senses, thank goodness.
My first class was with my good friend Amy B.; we went to Evan’s Thursday night class.
He did a great job adjusting our posture, and overall encouraging and positive.
I also had the pleasure of taking several of Heidi’s classes.
Those two were my favorite instructors.
Sumits plays fantastic music — Think Florence and the Machine, Iron and Wine, Bastille, City and Colour remixes.
I wish I could attend more often as the heat is AMAZING for my arthritic knees + flexibility required for hammer throwing (Track and Field). .. But this place is E-​X-​P-​E-​N-​S-​I-​V-​E and why I’m deducting a star.
That doesn’t stop me from dropping in every couple of weeks ($ 16).
Come to Sumits to practice mindfulness, and get a solid workout in in the process.

Any exercise at this point is good, no matter where you go or who you are. For me, I’ve done Yoga in the past, but I usually do Bikram, which consists of the same 26 poses in a heated studio.
Since I wanted to relive some stress and get Yoga on, Megan and I came here to have some fun together. I’ve never been to this studio before, and we had a really good time.
The studio has 3 different studios inside. One appears to be a practice studio, the other one had people doing random stuff in it, and the third was where we held our class. The studio we were in had wood floors, which was a first for me. I’ve never seen that before!
The lady who checked us in was really helpful and told us what to expect. I rented a mat for an extra $ 1, and the drop in fee was $ 16. I’ve seen other studios charge $ 18, so that wasn’t alarming.
The lobby area was specious with some limited seating. We waited for our class to start and in we went. Here’s where things get confusing. Okay, I thought it was going to be like my previous Bikram with the same 26 poses. The poses here were totally different with only a few similar poses that I was used to.
The instructor was cool and did a good job keeping us focused, but I got lost!!! I wish he would have done some explaining of what was going on. He would call out poses and I was wtf is he talking about??? Can you stand at the front of the class and give some of us an idea of what you are talking about? Show us? The other people in class totally knew what was going on, so I followed them for the most part.
It’s not that the instructor sucked because he didn’t. But, he knew we were first timers and I wish he would have spent a little more time at the front of class at least showing what some of us *cough* ME *cough* should have been doing. So I struggled and tried to keep up.
Afterwards the instructor said I did a really good job, which made me feel better. I was worried that I had embarrassed myself but I did not. I got a lot out of this class, and feel like a million bucks right now.
Thank you Sumit Yoga for a good hearty work out!

Really enjoyed sumits yoga but the price is up there. If you can afford to go, I’d recommend it– but for people such as i (who have to count their pennies) it’s difficult to make sumits a regular yoga stop.

I feel so rejuvenated when I leave a hot yoga class. Sumits yoga is where it’s at. They don’t have lockers for your belongings just cubbies. So leave your valuables in your car or home for 60 or 90 mins depending on the class.

Sumits Yoga is a wonderful yoga studio. The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful. I have been going there for awhile, and I love every minute of it. The music played is great and keeps your motivated throughout the 80 minute session.

I got a Groupon for this and have tried two classes at this studio so far — Sumits Yoga & Sumits Flow. The Sumits Yoga class was way too hot and long (80min) for me; Sumits Flow however was 60 min long and wasn’t as hot. The studio is beautiful and the instructors are very patient and helpful. I’ll definitely be going back.

Wish I had jumped on the hot yoga bandwagon much sooner. Really enjoy going to Sumits. It’s an incredible 80-​minute workout that, thanks to the music, actually gets me to shut my brain down and not think about all the days’ challenges. The workout is ideal for all yoga levels, and I feel like I can push my practice each time. The instructors are fantastic.
They’re open seven days a week, and the weekend classes are really relaxed — not so crowded. The weekday evening classes can get pretty packed so get there early to stake out your space.
You can bring a friend for free on Tuesdays. Great way to try Sumits for the first time. Watch for deals around the holidays.

I have done a lot of «cold» yoga in my day and purchased this groupon before I realized I was buying «hot» yoga. I decided to give it a try, anyway. Even though I have yoga experience, I consider myself a beginner because it has been a while since I have done any yoga.
The staff at the studio was extremely helpful. The instructor asked if I was new and proceeded to give me a lot of information about what to expect in the class. I ended up taking the «flow» class as my first experience, rather than the Sumit class mainly due to the time it was offered. The flow is different in that it is heat only with no humidity and it is only 1 hour instead of 1 hr 20 min. The poses in the class were very advanced, however, the instructor does encourage you to take as many breaks as you need and not to try the advanced positions until you are ready. I did pretty well keeping up but the heat did get to me about 45 minutes in. I guess you just have to get used to it.
The staff was great, the facility was great. I’m not sure if I like the hot yoga yet, but am going to give the Sumit class a go tonight and see how it compares to the Flow class.

My wife’s wallet was stolen while she was in class. The studio provides no security for valuables other than «cubbies.» Either someone came into the studio from the outside or someone in her 4:00 to 5:30 PM class stole her wallet. Supposedly there is always someone at the front desk, so the filthy scumbag thief is probably someone in her class. This scumbag tried to ring up charges on my wife’s debit card at CVS and at a Shell station, but Bank of America declined them. Next they tried her Mastercard and charged $ 161 at Walgreens and another $ 59 at Virgin Mobile. Then they used her Visa card to for another $ 300 in charges. All cards are cancelled scumbag and the charges reversed.
We had to spend several hours on the phone with the police, credit reporting agencies, bank, and credit card companies. Even worse, my wife lost precious, irreplaceable pictures of her deceased father.
Due to the lack of security for valuables, I would not recommend this business and am encouraging my wife to NEVER go back.

love this place

A different kind of yoga. Upbeat and music. I like this studio, But I need more meditation.

Unbelievable! This studio is the best!
Incredible instructors and clean, modern studio.
Sumits is a Hot Power Flow Yoga, perfect for ANYONE.
The music is always good and classes are always full.
Bring plenty of water and towels, you will need it.
Its 80 minutes long and you will be wrenched when its over!

I had a friend who was doing hot yoga and raved about how much she enjoyed it. When a groupon came along for ten sessions I couldn’t resist. Yes it is hot. Not AZ hot but like steamy jungles of South America hot! In just a few sessions I could really see and feel that my body was changing. My groupon is used up, but I am still going to Sumits.
What I appreciate is that you determine how hard you are working. The staff encourage you to listen to your body in determining how much or little you do during any one session. The staff also offers gentle corrections on posses so you don’t injure yourself.
Men and women attend the classes. Guys don’t be intimidated thinking its a chick thing. There are lots of guys who attend.
TIPS:
Drink lots of water day of practice. A lot! You will be sweating like you never have before and it is very easy to get dehydrated.
Don’t eat anything for a least of couple of hours prior to the class.
If you are not sure what kind of mat or towel to get, you can rent them at the front desk. They are good quality and very sanitary.
Dress for comfort. Every part of you will be soaked thru with sweat. Think of that when determining what you are wearing. Many of the ladies will wear Yoga Capris and a long sports tank. Wearing a tee-​shirt was too distracting to me as it would bunch up and stick.

This studio is probably the best hot yoga studio I have been to. I went there several times a week for about a month over the summer and enjoyed it every time. I love the music they play and I love that the teachers are knowledgeable and motivational. I really got a great workout while going. The space is clean and even smells good… that’s pretty awesome for a hot yoga studio. I like that they have wood floors… it makes me feel like they can keep it cleaner and it’s easier to balance on. The reason why I knocked it to 4 stars is because it is simply unaffordable. I have a fairly good job, but I don’t think I could afford to keep going. If this place was reasonably priced, it would definitely get 5 stars from me.

Just signed up for 2 week option. Went to my first «hot yoga» class today at Sumits. I use to do regular yoga at Lifetime. I really never felt I was getting any benefits (weight loss, muscle tone etc…) from regular yoga. During this «hot yoga» workout I was really sweating! I hope that means I was getting a good workout. Anyways… I did enjoy it. The 80 minutes flew by!
About the facility. The staff were amazing. Jodie taught the class and was so sweet, and made the workout stress-​free. The place was clean and had a an upbeat atmosphere. I loved the music they played.

Before moving to AZ last Dec, I practiced Bikram yoga in LA and loved it! I had never heard of Sumits yoga until moving here. I decided to give it a try and I’m really glad I did. It’s a great workout and I like that it incorporates power flow in between postures. The fast pace and music really get me pumped up during the session.
The studio itself is very clean/​modern and the staff are always very friendly.
Now for which hot yoga style I prefer between Bikram and Sumits — I like both! They are very different from each other, but both a great workout and a great way to flush all the toxins out of your body.
This is one workout I actually look forward to going to. :)
