Barefoot Studio

Enjoyed my simple evening of yin in this beautiful studio. The space is well kept, clean and organized. A lovely temperature setting. There are extra yoga mats, blankets, blocks and bolster's. Open shelf space to place belongings in during class. Barefoot has bathrooms and a changing room available should those be needed during your visit. Find this diagonally across from The Charro Vida restaurant, second floor.

I did the restorative class with Kim, and it was so great! To anyone needing a class to just rest and breathe and release any tension or stress, this class is perfect for you! The studio is large allowing for space between people. They have tons of props to use in class which is awesome! Props always make classes more interesting!

I got to attend a yin class as a Yelp Elite event - but the five stars aren't for the free class, it's for the quality! Nicole was super inviting and welcoming to my friend and I, who were both new to the studio. The space is large, but still feels intimate and comfortable, offering a great view if you're near the window. I look forward to coming back here to attend yoga with kittens sometime! Barefoot seems like an asset to the community and area. Everyone else I encountered in class was very sweet and made me feel right at home!

Visited this place for the first time for a Yelp event and was hooked at the sound of the meditation bowls. The owner did an absolutely amazing ending class on these and I had to start showing everyone how this is. Just went back last week with a friend and tried out the 30 min end of day class and it was nice, it didn't feel as loud or soothing as I previously experienced. I think everyone must do it a little differently, so I hope one day to hear the owner play these again with family or friends around because it was a wonderful experience.The room is very aesthetically pleasing with the lights and very spacious. They have a lot of items you can use including mats, blankets, bolsters, etc. this is a nice touch and very appreciated.

I am so impressed with Barefoot Yoga. I have kept trying yoga over the years because of the health benefits but couldn't find a place or pace of yoga that I liked. Fast forward to 2 months ago and now I can say I'm a regular!Thia review will highlight a different kind of yoga class for those of us who loce to sweat, work out, but need to slow down and breathe too. Sound like you? Then check out Booty Yoga. This class is core and glute focused and you will FEEL IT. It combines meditative breathing and traditional flow with lots of targeted work. I cannot reccomend this class enough. Check out Barefoot's Booty Yoga. I wouls give it 6 stars if I could.

Love that they have an app where you can see the schedule, book, and pay for your classes/membership. I found it easy to navigate and use.The studio is clean, inviting, and for my Sunday hatha class, the front half had lights on and the back half had them off so you could choose the ambience you wanted. Love the various membership options they offer such as the 10-class punch card, monthly classes, and unlimited classes membership.

Barefoot Studio was the cutest spot for yoga! Honestly, the twinkle lights just upped the vibe in there. I really enjoyed the glow and flow class on Saturday and found that Yvonne was a great instructor. It was relaxed, but I still felt like I got a great workout. She had a soothing voice and I really liked that Barefoot tries to put the focus more on the health/physical therapy aspects of yoga, rather than just the power and difficult parts of practice. I've always just practiced at home because I was nervous about what in-person practice might be like, but really was surprised by how comfortable I felt there. Our class also got to experience the sound bowl meditation for an extended period and it was very relaxing (albeit a little loud at times) and kind of took me to a different headspace. I will definitely be recommending this spot to friends!

It is with much regret that I submit such a poor review...If I could make a recommendation to Barefoot Yoga on Oracle Road...shut it down for one day to learn more about how to be inclusive towards all races when capturing the yogi spirit.I was greeted by the instructor Julie of the 9am class Wednesday morning on 2/27 with a frown and avoidance. Julie never acknowledge my presence nor asked about my yogi experience even just for a second...clearly understand about timing and class start time but she appeared very distracted of my presence.The owner Briana was NOT pleasant at all...No eye contact nor good communication skills...just an attitude that possess the following..."whatever girl...go on back because you see I'm busy" ...now I see why this studio has such a bad reputation as the owner model the good old girls mentality...this establishment appears to be not open nor privy what is coming ahead for the yogi world and what is new and upcoming for the year of 2019. I found this studio to be very outdated and very unfriendly...one and only one member said hello very quickly to me as if she was afraid of my presence. Yes, black people are yogis... Not sure if I was the first black woman to step a barefoot in this studio but it was stepping back in time. I'm currently working on my yoga instructors certification and live out of state and was hoping to keep my practice going while I travel back and forth...well...I will go back to Yoga Connection in Tucson even though I have to drive 45 mins to get there...I left there due to the distance and my recent move back to Seattle...at least Yoga Connection welcomes you by name...Pricilla the owner go out of her way to ask if she can touch and make adjustments when conducting sessions...Julie, during the 9am class appeared labile when she helped me with a (very cold attitude) adjustment and never asked my name...her moves was very outdated.Julie, not sure if you went to the most recent training... It is downright impossible to know all of your student's personal, cultural, and other boundaries when it comes to touch or adjustment.I'm heart broken that as a black female...I have to continue to look for a yoga practice outside Oro Valley and possibly travel a 45 mins hike to gain an awesome and welcoming yogi experience. It is nothing like being greeted at Yoga Connection with a smile, or hug...or good day...after you conducted your restorative pose.... My last words...Barefoot Yoga...you will see more people of color in your studio and hopefully you will have conducted your cultural competency training for all of your practitioners...happy to provide you free training surrounding this topic anytime...trauma informed yoga training and body positivity is something you should be upgrading your facility because at this time the topics on the wall appears to be outdated especially when I called and your own staff was confused about the topics. This is only feedback as your own staff concur last year about these trainings. Just say hi to the next black person that enters your establishment...acknowledge their presence...because when you don't...you do not live by the yogi experience...NamasteI acknowledge your presence...grow open in 2019...,Dr. Jocelyn Enabulele

I've been to this location twice. Very new and clean! I had a great experience with gentle yoga, the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the second time I went there was a ton of people in the class and people towards the front were being loud and not being courteous to those who were trying to meditate. Not the studios fault at all, partially my fault for not getting there early enough to get the spot I like in the studio (closer to the wall). The later the time the busier the class so make sure you get there at least 15 minutes early!

I wish I could give this place a multiple minus zero rating. This is in addition to my previous review. They unbelievably are continuing to charge me in December after I injured myself in August,called the owner in early September, because I had started physical therapy. The billing continued because they apparently weren't satisfied until they had my cancelation in writing, which I sent. However, they have continued to bill me monthly regardless. It may take a lawsuit to make them quit. Buyer beware. This place is money hungry at all costs. I should sue just for the harassment and stress they are causing me.
