Floating Lotus Yoga Studio

I was witness to a minor argument at an unassociated business near Floating Lotus, and to see normally credible contributors use Unilocal as a personal flame thrower was disconcerting. Unilocal is here as an assessment tool for the quality of a business, not for personal vendetta. I love and use Unilocal to know where to spend my money, and I used Unilocal to find Floating Lotus for healing and health, and I stand by the positive results I have received from the owner and Floating Lotus. Personal skirmishes «off-​the-​clock» should not be the measure of a business. The owner is a consummate professional and has never shown any bias based upon sexual orientation, and I will continue to patronize this business.

I love this studio
If you want to know Zen at an affordable price, then I recommend coming here. I have been attending this Studio for two years now and cant find a flaw.
The classes are wonderful, the instructors are knowledgeable and its located in a quaint historic part of Mesa.
I love taking Kai and Sean’s classes the most. If your an Ashtangi then I highly motivate you to move yourself over here to experience a flow with Sean, the energy in his classes will move you to a deeper sense of yourself.
If you like to Sweat and have fun with your flow then I encourage you to take a lesson with Kai, who will show you there are no limits to what you can do.
Even the owner Steve is a wonderful guy. he wears his heart on his sleeve and you can see he really does care about the yogis that flock to this studio. He is also the On Site Chiropractor, whom I suggest you use to your advantage.
This studio has it all and is always growing to improve upon itself, with holistic therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and of course AHHHHHMazing Yoga Classes to boot.
Namaste

The teachers here were great. I loved the atmosphere and never had a compliant about the yoga. The owner on the other hand is a crook. Please never give this guy your credit card. I was on a monthly plan and had to cancel a few months ago. I went in a turned in the required letter stating I was canceling my membership. Since then money has been taken out of account three times. I finally had to call my bank and have Floating Lotus blocked from removing anymore money. I called and left multiple messages trying to get this fixed and never once had my calls returned. When I finally did get him on the phone he was very rude. Please save your money and take your business elsewhere.

I’ve taken several classes at this yoga studio with different instructors. I am never disappointed! The variety in the classes keep me engaged and wanting more. The instructors are absolutely wonderful and push me out of my comfort zone while always maintaining a grounded and peaceful space to practice. The studio itself has beautiful energy and light. This is the studio you want if you are looking for not only a physical workout but also a place to add to your spiritual practice.

Paid 700 dollars for massages with Jerry costa and after he secured payment he became very moody because i wanted tues, wed. back to back massages and to focus on the lower body. He wanted to do it his way. It’s my money, and i layed out my terms to begin with. Won’t return calls or money. Thief. Floating lotus should have returned my call to help but didn’t.

Such a great studio in downtown Mesa! I love Deborah’s class on Mon and Wed at 5:15! If you’re looking for an unpretentious studio offering yoga at all levels, you can find it at Floating Lotus!

I’ve been to yoga studios throughout the country, and I found floating Lotus to be one of the most beautiful and diverse studios I’ve ever encountered. Namaste!

I started with a generous Groupon offer about two months ago, looking for a chance to try yoga as other exercise options are severely limited due to health concerns.
Love the variety of classes from really beginner to gentle nudges to challenge yourself; there are power yoga, sculpt and tone and Zumba classes for those who really want to rock out!
Too many great instructors to mention; though there’s been some turnover recently, but hey, life happens to all of us. Membership options were clearly explained and prices are the best in the area that I’ve found. One of my friends joined me for a class recently and was warmly welcomed by staff and instructor; thanked for coming and I was thanked for inviting her.
Love the ambiance and love the philosophy: that this is your practice, do your best practice today and don’t worry about comparing it to other people’s or even to your own previous efforts. I like that, since mine is a bit hampered in spots by physical disability.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a studio to make their home. Construction issues on Main right now due to light rail install will be a pain thru the summer, but I wouldn’t let that stop you!

First time yoga student
First time at this studio
Received a nice warm welcome from Steve,
My instructor Kai was amazing
I never knew you could sweat this much doing yoga
Really impressed, the studio and mats were clean
And the atmosphere was relaxing
I will definitely go again!

Awesome studio, instructors, owner and medium for yoga on all levels. Sean is a particularly capable, experienced, thoughtful and calm professional instructor.
Ignore anything in previous reviews about the owner and Nicole spat. That was about the difference between an ashram (not) and studio (yes) and then ethical professionalism (yes) vs. unethical business sabatoge and stealing (not). I have been involved in yoga for 15 yrs from Seattle to Phoenix, from Indian and Bali trained instructors to original newbies such as myself, and this is in the top five of 20+ experiences. Plus downtown Mesa is up and coming and great to check out. Check out Floating Lotus. You have a good chance that it will work for you on at least one level :)

I began going to Floating Lotus on on of their groupon passes. I had a fantastic teacher, Nicole, who has since opened her own studio Radiant Love. The owner of Floating Lotus, Dr. Lynch, is outright rude. I cancelled my monthly membership after Nicole left, but continued to go in once a week for an organic farm box delivery program that I really enjoy. Some times Dr. Lynch has invited me to come back for classes, and I have declined. Today, Dr. Lynch called me a very demeaning sexist name when I came in to pick up my package. How he expects to run a yoga studio while being demeaning and rude to those who walk through the doors is nonsense. Practice yoga. Practice Love.

I tried this place out because of a groupon deal and loved the varied classes and the warm instructors. Non-​judgmental and friendly atmosphere.

I started yoga in April with a groupon to the Floating Lotus thinking I would use the groupon and that would be it. I fell in love with the studio/​/​the instructors & the friendly attitude of everyone there. I feel at home when I walk in and after each practice I am refreshed and ready for the rest of my day. The instructors make each class unique/​/​guide you through the poses and make you feel comfortable. I would recommend this to anyone.

Just got a $ 10 groupon for 10 classes, what an amazing deal is that!?! Great location in downtown Mesa and the room is spacious with perfect lighting. With so many classes available I can always turn to this place to get my yoga fill.

Awesome studio, amazing instructors, awful management from the owner. He goes through instructors and directors like nobody’s business, and if there’s a conflict or misunderstanding, he’s always right and you are always wrong. Stay away from Dr. Lynch and you will do fine. Everyone else there is amazing. Just don’t get too attached to your favorite instructor — who knows how long he or she will be there.

It is a very relaxing studio, where you feel welcome and not judged. I had never done yoga before, and was very self conscious about going now I can’t wait til my next class!

Great hot stone massage session from Michele.

I bought a groupon for this studio and went to classes several times a week for a month. All the staff were friendly and addressed me by name after just a couple sessions. Most of the classes I attended were beginning/​intermediate and they were always willing to work with anyone regardless of their level. I’m not sure if there would be enough classes each week for someone at the advanced level to attend but it is a fantastic studio for those at the beginner/​intermediate level.

I have taken about 5 classes now at Floating Lotus. The yoga basics class taught by Nicole is the best yoga class I have ever taken (I have practiced for 2 years and all types, Basic, Bikram, Yin, Flow ect.) The studio is clean and really spacious, though the Yoga basics class fills the room. I have to bet it is because of the instructor Nicole. She makes me both laugh and cry (in a good way) with her teaching and inspiration. It is the best 90 mins of my day most weeks. I can’t recommend this place highly enough for that reason alone.
Like other reviewers stated, the owner Steve is also friendly and caring. I forgot my punch card recently and he had no problem trusting I would mark it off on my next visit. This type of business practice along with Nicole will keep me coming 2 – 3 times a week.

Love this yoga studio. The owner Steve is incredibly nice, the prices are really good, and the studio is BEAUTIFUL; hardwood floors, pretty blue paint on the walls, yogi-​like artwork all around. It really sets the mood for relaxation! Plus I feel totally welcome here, it’s not snobby at all like some elitist yoga studios.
The two yoga instructors I’ve had for Level I and Gentle Yoga were both great. Full of tips for all and also one-​on-​one suggestions. They also had very soothing words to go with our practice. We’re also currently doing the CrossTone class every Mon Wed Fri and it’s butt-​whooping GOOD! Nothing like a 6am cardio/​strength/​interval class to get your endorphins pumping!
