surya yoga is a studio in sedona where yoga is taught alongside sound baths, yin and restorative practice. The studio describes its work as healing the whole self, mind, body and soul, with classes that draw on ancient yogic teachings while leaving room for each student's own expression. Vinyasa flow is the most common style, and the day runs from early morning into the evening.

What the classes are
Most of the classes at surya yoga are yoga, and vinyasa is the style you will meet most often, with about a third of the timetable given to it. Flow, gentle and restore classes come up regularly, and a fair number of sessions pair movement with sound. Sound baths, gong and bowls form a steady part of the week, often in combination with restorative postures, yin stretching or yoga nidra.
Yin, restorative and calm classes make up a smaller share, but they give the schedule a quieter side. Titles such as Candlelight Lullaby Yin, Yin to Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga with Sound Healing show how the studio blends the two. Kundalini, meditation and strength-oriented classes appear less often.
Times, teachers and class length
Classes are spread across the day, with about half of them in the morning and a fifth in the evening. Some of the busiest start times are 9am, 10:30am, 4:15pm and 5:30pm. Weekends also carry about a fifth of the classes. Most sessions run for an hour, and a few longer classes run for 75 minutes.
The studio is run by a couple of dozen facilitators, and Amy Diamondstein Sutter, Irene Pak, Hemal Karna and Jeanne Staron are among those with the most classes. Jenna Hedstrom, Angie Cox Ward and Sara Marcy also lead a regular share of the timetable. Classes are taught in English, and the studio's own pages describe its teachers as kind, committed and inspirational, each with a different style and background.
Surya Yoga: questions and answers
Can I practice online or outdoors as well as in the studio?
Yes. The studio's own page says they offer in-studio, outdoor and online classes, so you can choose the format that suits you. Vinyasa flow and gentle hatha are among the classes most often taught.
Is surya yoga good for beginners?
The studio describes itself as a safe space for both beginners and advanced students. Classes such as all levels vinyasa flow and gentle hatha with extended savasana are a good place to begin, and yin and restorative classes ask for a slower, more supported pace.
When do classes usually run?
Most classes start in the morning, with the earliest at 8am and the latest at 7pm. Busy start times include 9am, 10:30am, 4:15pm and 5:30pm. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays see the most classes.
Where can I find sound baths?
Sound baths appear in a good share of the timetable, often combined with gentle yoga, restorative yoga or yin. Gong and bowls, and yoga nidra, also turn up regularly, and a few classes mix sound healing into a relaxed practice.
What should I know before my first visit?
The studio's website asks students to arrive about 10 to 15 minutes before class. Purchases of classes and workshops are non-refundable, but a regular class credit can be used for another class if you cancel at least three hours before the start time.
