” Relax your body and the rest of you will lighten up.”

One fierce tree

The Ironwood is a powerful slow-growing tree that has survived rugged desert conditions for hundreds of years, providing a nurturing and diverse sanctuary for countless living things including animals, wildflowers, and our secret mascot, the pygmy owl.

To us, the Ironwood represents the outward force of the masculine, as well as the gentle, nurturing strength of the feminine, serving as a perfect metaphor for our approach to yoga. 

A good yoga practice is equal parts strength and flexibility – Grace & Grit.

“Initially, attending classes confirmed how inflexible and weak I was and how extremely hard it was to be still and calm during savasana. Now I feel my mind, body and spirit are on a path of rejuvenation. Poses are easier and I am beginning to know what stillness is”.

~Ann Browning

About Ironwood Yoga Studios all-levels yoga

We have all levels of vinyasa yoga for those either looking to ease in and get back into shape, as well as more advanced classes for folks who want to sweat.

Or perhaps you’d simply like to relax and unwind, in a dreamy restorative or yin yoga class. (hint: these classes are actually for you type-A’s—you just don’t know it yet).

And for the really adventurous, we also offer kundalini yoga, a powerful practice based on ancient secret technologies that will rocket you into the fourth dimension—if you dare.

You will also find specialty classes like Qi Gong, Yoga Nidra as well as shorter more targeted classes.  We have many options to suit where you are at and allow you to go at your own pace.

 

 

 

 

Who’s in charge around here, anyway?

Leah Bosworth is the founder and owner of Ironwood Yoga Studios.

Leah began studying yoga in 1997 while pursuing her acting career in NYC, and quickly fell in love with the practice.  

Her 20 years plus of yoga experience, in combination with 10 years studying and teaching alongside Fay Simpson, creator of the Lucid Body Technique, have given Leah a deep understanding of the power of precise alignment, the intricacies of the human mind and spirit, and how to teach with an open and fearless heart.

In 2005, wanting to escape the harsh winters and confined concrete jungle, Leah’s adventurous spirit took her to the open spaces of the warm and arid desert where she decided to set up her home base and focus on her passion—teaching.

In 2014, she discovered a raw industrial space in North Central Phoenix and instantly knew it was the perfect place to build her yoga home.

The stars aligned and Ironwood was born.
