I've been going for about 7 months. The instructors are helpful and interested in my progress. There's a good number of classes each week. I was so pleased that I signed up for a year.

Gentle Judgement free zone, as a student I love all the workouts here my favorite is the beginning intermediate classes here as well as the workshops provided here. Educational and balanced

Really affordable, judgement-free place to practice yoga. There are lots of classes and instructors to choose from, all throughout the day. Some of the instructors are better than others, but all make an effort to learn your name and greet you at the door!

I have been going to Yoga Connection off and on for many years, with the "off" being just because I can't always summon the energy to drive 25 minutes to their lovely studio. This is the only yoga studio I have found in Tucson that focuses on what I consider the total practice of yoga rather than yoga as one more gym feat. In fact, at another popular studio in town, I was once told "No pain, no gain, " which to me is the antithesis of the yoga spirit.

I go to Colleen's class almost every Sunday, and she is an amazing, low-key almost-spiritual guide through the practice. I am a caregiver to a spouse with Parkinson's, and her class never fails to uplift me. My only wish would be that they use more time for shivasana at the end of the class and much less at the beginning. Maybe it's just me, but my mind doesn't start to quiet until I've been absorbed in the various postures for an hour. All the staff I've ever met are wonderful, and the workshop offerings complement the yoga so nicely.

Over the years I've tried yoga at other places but it wasn't for me or so I thought. When my elderly mother needed some exercise we tried Chair Yoga here. The instructor was so kind and considerate of her limitations. She felt very welcomed and the other students were quick to welcome us. I enjoyed the class as well. After she passed away I decided to try the beginning/continuing classes and felt every bit as welcome there. The staff and students are kind (this is NOT competitive yoga!) the setting is lovely, and the prices affordable. Tucson is lucky to have such an organization.

Being in Tucson for just a day I did a drop-in Sunday Beginning Continued class at Yoga Connection and stumbled into one of the best, most thoughtful practices of my life! I've been practicing for more than 15 years on and off, and just getting back into "yoga shape" after a shoulder injury and broken wrist, and this class and studio were of the highest caliber. I highly recommend giving this studio a try, I wish it was in my neighborhood!
