Here, people can pursue their health goals, grow their yoga practice, and deepen their skills and awareness.

I was dealing with lower back tightness for several weeks. Just two classes with Jim and it vanished - this is the best yoga studio in PHX.

The 2024 Yoga Nirvana retreat in France was amazing. The location was beautiful and the food (favorite part) was perfect. It almost felt like a family vacation/trip to me. I attended a Jim’s class back in 2013 and immediately felt a genuine connection with the studio and the way he instructed the class. To this day, I still attend his classes whenever I can because they keep me grounded and in one piece (lol). Yoga Nirvana is a community of friends!

I have been coming to Yoga Nirvana classes for several years now and also joined a recent retreat trip. Jim's advanced guidance and attention to detail for each student during class is the best I've found in the area. I really like the Ashtanga improv style class for a more traditional but varied flow. I've always felt supported, challenged and inspired to improve my practice here.

Both Jim and Vanessa were a delight during the retreat as well, where they took care of all accommodations, meals, yoga, and social gatherings. It was a wonderful retreat experience to say the least!

I highly recommend Yoga Nirvana and consider it a local gem! Check them out!

Every time I go, it is as rejuvenating, and I feel just as welcome as when I was a more regular student. The 2024 retreat to France was one of the best trips I've ever taken and a much needed re-set. 10/10 would recommend Yoga Nirvana for your yoga journey.

I've been taking Yin Yang yoga online at Yoga Nirvana by Jim Keegan. I used to take Jim's yoga class in Tempe, AZ when I was a grad student at ASU. After so many years, I've got a chance to join Jim's Yin Yang yoga again. This is not just a yoga class, it also teaches you a broad spectrum of philosophy.
Jim's Yin Yang yoga is powerful. When I'm emotionally churned inside, I burst into tears during the yoga, and get rid of negative energies and thoughts, from the cellular level. I can renew my energy and soul just by doing the one hour yoga.
Surprizingly, it's only $12.50 for the class, and can refresh my body and soul. What could be better things you can do in one hour! The deep slow breathing will also detach your thoughts from mind and listen to your body and heart. Once you learn, you can't live without it. Jim's yoga is that powerful.
I strongly recommend Jim's Yin Yang Yoga to keep your mind and body healthy.

5 stars is not enough for Jim and Yoga Nirvana! I have been a practicing Yogi since 2017. I tried many different studios and classes once I moved to the Valley in 2020 which thankfully led me to Jim. His expertice in biomechanics paired with his mastery of the whole of yoga provides for an instructor like no other. No matter where you are in your journey, from beginner to the most experienced Yogi, working with Jim is guaranteed to elevate your practice✨️💜🙏🏽

Classes here are amazing! After a search for a high quality online yoga class, I am home. To be perfectly honest, I was skeptical how it would all work but my schedule didn't allow for in person so I went for it. Initially, I felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed as I fumbled my way through the first few classes but Jim was extremely supportive and helpful with feedback to get me into a better space. The depth of stretch and personalization is incredible. He is super knowledgeable and addresses both the body and mind which I find rewarding. Highly recommend these classes!

Jim guides class with support, not just what he says but how he says it. He describes and encourages mindful participation. Yoga is really about how deeply can you start so that you can gracefully support your possibilities. Jim's classes give you that opportunity.

I discovered Yoga Nirvana when classes became available online and outside in person in 2020 - yoga became my lifeline. Despite the chaos happening in the world and in my house, if I can find a way to my mat, I can find myself, my breath, and re-connect during class. I can’t imagine my life now without it and I have so much gratitude that Jim’s classes are still available online. Online has made it possible for me to practice regularly with an incredible instructor even with little kids at home. These aren’t typical online classes, he’s watching each person on the screen, coaching micro-adjustments through the entire class as needed. And when I get the chance to participate in-person by the pond at beautiful Singh Meadows, it’s next level incredible.

I wanted to start taking yoga classes to help stay active and limber because I sit at a desk all day. My friends regularly attend classes at Yoga Nirvana and highly recommended them. I have now attended a handful of Jim's classes at Singh Meadows and watched a number of his videos. He is an exceptional instructor with a wealth of experience and biomechanic knowledge. I really appreciate how he takes moments during the practice to teach, the personal corrections he makes, and how he emphasizes the class be mindful of our bodies and to do the practice to the best of our abilities in that moment. The classes have always been a great mixture of challenging, relaxing, thoughtful, and I learned something new every time I have been to a session. I highly recommend Jim and his classes for people of all experience levels.

These are really great yoga classes. The location outside is beautiful. The instruction is A+. The sequence of the poses allows me to get into deeper stretches than I've ever been into at home. One thing I love about the way Jim teaches is he makes the class accessible to any level - he sets up the pose so that anyone can get into it, and then he brings in the modifications if you want to challenge yourself. I always leave his class feeling amazing. Whatever your comfort level with yoga is, I would recommend this studio.

Best yoga classes in Tempe. Great value and beautiful location (weekend classes). Online classes on weekdays are excellent. You will receive individual attention, be challenged, and get relaxed. In particular, Jim's knowledge of biomechanics and ability to get to know his students' bodies and what adjustments they need is truly exceptional. Do yourself a favor and book a class.

I've jumped studios around the valley for about 4 years now, and this is the one I intend to call home from now on. The owner, Jim, is extremely personable and knowledgeable. His cues are pretty superb -- I feel I'm still learning new things about postures I've done hundreds of times. Jenna also teaches a really awesome flow class (creative flows with fun transitions). The community here is pretty spectacular as well. The staff and fellow students alike will ask for your name and look happy to see you when you return. A true gem of a studio.

I've been to several studios throughout the valley and I always return to Yoga Nirvana. Jim has such an advance understanding and education of the human body and how it works that he is able to make you do things you didn't think you could. To make things even better he does this by just describing to you what you need to do. Very amazing. I won't go anywhere else anymore because I see no reason to be disappointed and waste my money. On top of all that they are reasonably priced and offer a variety of classes every day.

I bought the new student, unlimited classes, 2-week pass for just $25 and enjoyed being able to sample lots of different teachers and classes. Then, once I saw they were legit, I bought the 6-month, unlimited classes package and I’m very pleased. The teachers are well grounded, well trained, competent and caring. The studio is simple, clean, comfortable, well-organized and run like an efficient business to serve the client.

The founder, Jim, and all the teachers, have an extraordinary understanding of exercise/sports physiology, biomechanics, orthopedics and the musculoskeletal system. It is rare to find teachers who both understand the ancient art of Yoga and also have a modern, scientific, and medical understanding of the body. Also, they give excellent verbal cues during classes that guide the student.

I started Yoga because my dance teacher told me she had taken me just about as far as she could. I needed to step into body work, to advance my dance practice. I specifically appreciate the Align & Center class taught by Marissa Ross; it feels custom made for dance majors. However, all the classes I have taken at Yoga Nirvana have been great. I can already feel the difference and my dance is becoming more fluid, spontaneous and balanced.

Their motto is “Come as You Are”, which is nice for us people who are not necessarily looking for a religion or an alternative lifestyle; but rather just great yoga.

Jim Keegan has changed my experience with yoga. He was able to take me to the next level in my spiritual quest for nirvana. His studio is the quintessential place where one can go to find stillness through movement. His one on one is out of this world. I highly recommend Jim Keegan and this spiritual place.

Yoga Nirvana is a gem.

I am grateful that life brought me here. It is a place that heals you from inside out, and makes you a better person no matter what stage of life you are in at the moment. I enjoy walking to the studio, letting the calming scent, the nicely colored paints on the door— “come as you are” embrace you. The vibration here has vitality, and is peaceful at the same time. Every detail in the studio makes you physically and spiritually ready for yoga. When I walk out of the studio, my body is happy, and my heart is happier.

Jim Keegan, whom I have so much respect for, truly is amazing beyond words. As a yogi himself, he is bringing light and peace to people who come to the studio, to spread the love and make this world a better place. Indeed, all the instructors here are very dedicated to yoga. If you want to live a happier life, come to Yoga Nirvana every day, simple as that!

I've tried so many yoga studios since moving to the Phoenix Valley and finally found Yoga Nirvana through a friend. I'm so thankful I did... the energy is welcoming and the instructors are very knowledgeable. With a history of injury/trauma, I really appreciate Jim's approach to the body & the guidance he gives during class. With the variety of classes & knowledge of the instructors, there are classes for everyone, at any level.

I was a student at Yoga Nirvana for almost three years and every yoga studio, class, and teacher I’ve had since then at 10 other studios in two other states and countries has disappointed me in comparison. The teachers offer a wonderful balance between the mental and physical aspects of yoga and motivate students to exceed their own expectations. I recently returned to the studio for a class after almost three years of being away and everything was just as I remembered: I love the opportunity to learn about yogic philosophy during classes and the emphasis on all aspects of physical alignment, but most important is the warm, welcoming atmosphere for all students regardless of experience or ability. I can’t recommend Yoga Nirvana enough.

I've taken yoga classes from a wide variety of studios in the Tempe and Phoenix area and Yoga Nirvana is by far the best. I love simply walking into the studio - it feels like home. There is a strong sense of community at Yoga Nirvana among the teachers and the students. I've taken a class with almost all of the teachers at the studio and have never had a bad experience. Jim, the owner, is an exceptional instructor. His alignment cues are incredibly detailed, his adjustments feel fantastic, and his classes are challenging and fun. You will fall into savasana in a blissful puddle of sweat.

I started practicing yoga in October 2016 and Yoga Nirvana was my first studio I tried. It was everything I expected yoga would be and more! I'm in love with the studio atmosphere Jim, the owner, and his fellow instructors have created. I felt welcomed immediately and have never felt self conscious about my flexibility despite being unconfident those capabilities most of my life. The instructors are very good at encouraging you to make each class your own and to push your limits as far as you are comfortable doing.
Not only is yoga an amazing workout, it's also incredibly for your mind. I love the meditation factor and the positivity and love it emanates. The instructors do well in spreading this also.

I really can't recommend this studio enough. I've loved every minute. I'm a yogi for life because of Nirvana.

As it turns out, I live in Los Angeles, CA. My girlfriend lives in Phoenix so I am in AZ quite a bit. Living in LA has made me incredibly spoiled in terms of Yoga because the quantity of incredibly talented teachers there is mind boggling. My standards with respect to the people whose classes I take are extraordinarily high.

So with that said, this studio's founder, Jim Keegan, is one of my two favorite teachers that I have ever practiced with worldwide (the other being my primary teacher back in LA). His knowledge of yoga is truly impressive, both in terms of the physical and philosophical components of the practice. I often refer to him as my Yoga Yoda. He takes teaching very seriously, and chooses the other instructors at his studio carefully to ensure that they do as well. I'd say that as a group, they are really just incredibly dedicated to a principal goal of making their students better.

If you want to watch your teacher demonstrate very advanced poses you can't do, show off fancy new workout clothes, or spend inordinate amounts of time working on flashy looking asanas, then this is probably not going to be a studio where you should spend much time.

On the other hand, if you want to get deeper into your practice, learn about yoga, and get a lot of highly personalized attention and instruction then please come by and try out a class. You won't be disappointed.

Yoga Nirvana is the best place to do yoga in town. Jim Keegan, the owner, has a wealth of knowledge about physiology and is able to help students with their individual needs, while working holistically with the class. He is kind and supportive, as are the other excellent teachers at Yoga Nirvana. Further, there's a feeling of intimacy and community in the studio.

Whether you are an experienced yogi or trying yoga out for the first time this place is for you. I discovered Yoga Nirvana after my old college roommate recommended it to me and now I can't imagine going anywhere else! I am going to be moving downtown and plan to make the commute to tempe just because I have grown to love this place so much. The studio offers a variety of classes and the instructors are top notch. I have had unique and wonderful experiences with Jim, Jenna, Jake, Clarissa, James, Edyth, and Craig as my instructors. What I love is that each teacher makes the practice their own and shares this with their students. I really feel like I've grown in my practice this past year both physically and spiritually. If you're looking for something that stimulates the body AND the mind then stop in and hopefully you'll keep coming back too :)

When I moved to the Phoenix area three years ago, I shopped around for a yoga studio and, after exploring several options, ended up at Yoga Nirvana. I've been a regular since. The instructors are knowledgeable, and there's a good ranges of types of classes and class times offered. Whether you're looking for a more physical practice, a yin class, or both, there's an option that will work for you. Jim's knowledge of alignment is exceptional and especially valuable if you happen to be an athlete getting over an injury - or just interested in not getting hurt in the first place. Jenna's flow classes always have great sequences that force me to focus on the present moment and not all the stuff that's waiting for me outside the studio. In addition, Jim Keegan (the owner) has also worked hard to create a sense of community that is too rare. As I travel and visit other studios, the more I realize that this is the aspect of the studio that should be most celebrated. It's what makes Yoga Nirvana such a great place to practice yoga.

I'm visiting on a trip from Maryland and this was a great experience! I practice a couple times a week back home but this was totally different. It was great vibes from the moment I walked in and wasn't chastised for not being early.The practice was also very unique. I loved that we went through some meditation and centering, flow, inversion practice, and more meditation - basically everything I look for in an ideal class setting. Not to mention he was super helpful hands-on and hands-off helping everyone into the proper form for each pose. If I lived in Tempe I'd make this my regular studio! (Also they have great rates, whether you're a student or not, so there's that.)

I was referred to Yoga Nirvana by a good friend of mine specifically to take a class instructed by Jim Keegan. That was last September and I've been attending 2-3 times a week since then. I was a Track & Field hurdler in college, now practicing in heavy weight lifting with Crossfit to feed my competitive nature. The last thing I thought i'd grow to love was yoga as a challenging addition to my regiment. It's amazing to see my progress not just physically, but mentally and spiritually; which no other sport has been able to provide for me. It has helped every aspect of my life, and I can't imagine not continuing my practice. I believe our instructor Jim, has made the difference for me to commit to my practice at this particular studio after trying many. He is very knowledgeable in the mechanics and kinesiology of the body. He challenges us and provides excellent tools for growth physically and spiritually with awesome pearls of wisdom. I'm grateful that I'm finally realizing the yoga lifestyle, and how it deals with all aspects of our being.

I've lived next to campus for 4 years now, and never new that this gem of a yoga studio existed (it's hidden inside Jentilly square behind pranksters). After a rough week, I spontaneously bought a groupon for 10 sessions and showed up to Jim's flow 2 class. I have practiced all genres of yoga, and this class was exactly what I needed to brighten up my Wednesday evening. The studio is welcoming and decorated well. I will be returning very soon.

Don't waste your time going anywhere else. Yoga Nirvana is where you will be gently guided in ways to strengthen and cleanse the body, calm the mind and fill your heart with loving compassion. This is a sentiment that remains, allowing one to apply these lessons in every aspect of life, softening into adversity, even while you are off the mat. This studio is where I find my weekly medicine and I am grateful to have found Yoga Nirvana, it is where you will learn to be a true yogi.

Before coming to Yoga Nirvana, I felt I'd practiced with some top notch yoga instructors. All of the individual qualities I appreciated about those other instructors are all wrapped up into one instructor, Jim. He does an amazing job of demonstrating and explaining how to flow into the next move, providing cues and adjustments when needed, all the while, telling stories and sharing wisdom from his vast knowledge and life experience! For me, the stories and wisdom he imparts help keep my mind from wandering during practice. He has a rare gift and definitely found his calling as a yoga instructor. He also offers massage services unlike any massage I've ever had. I feel fantastic for several days afterwards, rather than for just an hour or two! He's created a mini yoga community with his studio and his genuine interest in the health and lives of his students. He attracts the kind of students and teachers that I want to be surrounded by when I'm practicing yoga. I've found my yoga home!

Before coming to my first class at Yoga Nirvana, I attended a small beginner class down in my home town. After my first class at Yoga Nirvana I fell in love. The teaching style and overall impression I received there was astounding. Although I came in at a very beginner level I fit right in even though some people's practice consisted of poses that I could not yet get into. I have only been practicing at Yoga Nirvana for about 2 months now, but I have seen a huge improvements in my practice and I have gained a new confidence to try new things. I have recently started to attend two classes a week, and I can see my yoga practices working through my life on a daily bases. The instrustors there inspire me live a better life and practice daily. I could not have asked for a better studio to practice at. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I really really really enjoy this studio. The staff is wonderful, the place has an amazing vibe, and the instructors have your back.
I have seen a significant improvement in my life since coming to the studio. I was not aware of how much the body, mind, and spirit were connected!! Getting my body in harmony (physical aspect of yoga) has lead to an overall greater mental clarity.

It is fun to be alive. :)

If you are a beginner/curious, I say go for it. Especially if you are a student! They have great deals for 2 weeks so you can try it out and see if its a good fit.

After trying out many different yoga studios/teachers over the past few years, none quite compare to Yoga Nirvana. Jim (the owner) is incredibly knowledgeable on the movements of the body, and brings both passion and wisdom to each class. I appreciate how he ensures his students are in the correct alignment and isn't afraid to assist with adjustments. I leave each class feeling strength within myself, gratitude for the chance to practice yoga, and at peace in the present moment. Classes are also reasonable in price (even more so if you are a student!). I would (and do) recommend Yoga Nirvana to my friends, family, or anyone interested in yoga.

Best studio in the valley!

No matter what you are looking for you will find it here.

I have practiced all over the valley and Yoga Nirvana is my home. I don't feel like I have to wear the coolest lulu lemon gear or be able to do all the poses nor I don't feel ashamed for having to sit down in class...I don't worry about what others might be thinking of me. And for the first time in my life - I don't feel like I have to push my body to extremes to get results...I accept my body along with its abilities and limitations. There is simply no judgement and if it weren't for YN I am not sure I would be walking today.

The teachers at YN understand the body and the practice of yoga - not just asana/poses. You will begin to understand the true origins of yoga and the other 7 limbs besides just doing poses (HAH I BET YOU ARE SAYING LIMBS? 7 LIMBS? WHAT ARE THE LIMBS OF YOGA?! - THAT'S BECAUSE MOST STUDIOS DO NOT TEACH THEM =)). You will learn to build heat from the inside while learning poses that you have probably never even heard of...you will be challenged beyond measure and accepted where you are at. Every teacher knows how to offer adjustments and accommodations for any body type. Yoga is not a mass prescription and you will see that here. Your yoga practice is just that, it is yours! Manifest the light that is within and just come to class and see for yourself!

Jim Keegan is an amazing instructor who incorporates many asanas into his classes. I love how he breaks down poses to allow further understanding of ones body. His classes are an indicator of his strong personal practice, which incorporates a vast knowledge of not only yoga, but also the anatomy, yoga sutras, and meditation.

I've been attending Nirvana for quite some time now, mostly level-2 classes on Mondays and Weds by Jim Keegan, but I do enjoy other teachers as well. I find this place unique in the sense that it combines great quality of teaching the traditions and fundamentals of yoga, an invigorating and challenging practice, a great knowledge of the body's anatomy and the biomechanics of yoga, with a good sense of community. Their rates are very affordable for the service one gets, they offer student discounts and very attractive packages. They have Kundalini lessons, which are not easy to find in the Valley, different workshops, a community class on Saturdays, a free class with the teacher of the month (if you haven't tried him/her before), summer retreats, and even a monthly happy hour social event.
If you are the kind of person that sees the practice of yoga as something that goes beyond a mere workout routine, and more as an integrated life experience then you should definitely try Nirvana Yoga, and be prepare to sweat.

Yoga Nirvana has been my second home since the very beginning when their doors opened and welcomed all. After trying different studios around the valley, I found the one for me with this studio. Over the years the instructors have brought knowledge, passion, and their own love for yoga to share with the students. There are a wide variety of classes offered so that no matter where you are in your practice, you will feel and experience the benefits of yoga. The instructors do an amazing job at helping people understand what to focus on during a pose and what each pose is working to achieve. Yoga Nirvana offers the perfect the amount challenge, education, spirituality, and overall wellness. I have yet to find another studio in the valley that offers the same.

Teachers at Yoga Nirvana have a passion for yoga that they bring to this studio every time they teach. The asana practices are infused with the philosophy of yoga so that you leave the studio not only feeling great physically but feeling that you've participated in an ancient tradition that benefits the mind and spirit as well as the body.

Yoga Nirvana is more than a yoga studio , it is about personal and internal growth. As a college student I know that the external and society factors effect everyday living, causing distractions. I have been to other studios and this by far focuses more on servicing people physically, mentally, and spirituality rather than just the poses. Learning how each position connects with the internal body and its life long effects. Yoga Nirvana and specifically owner Jim Keegan gave me inspiration to look at myself and work more holistically on life to achieve that stability and happiness.

I've been coming to Yoga Nirvana for the past few months and have noticed my practice has grown immensely thanks to the teachers and student community at this studio. They offer a great selection of classes (Yin Therapy, Flow, Kundalini and Ashtanga Improv are my personal favorites) and have some of the best teachers in town, including Jim Keegan who is the founder of the studio. His classes will take your practice to a whole 'nother level. Highly recommended!

Wonderful studio, I have tried other studios in the area, and this is the best by far!!! They have a variety of classes at all different times, as well as great instructors who are very knowledgeable (Jim, Tommy, and Brittany are my favorites). I really enjoy the personal feel the studio has, it is a hidden gem. If you are looking at trying yoga for the first time, or looking at expanding your practice, I would go here.

I love Yoga Nirvana! I've become addicted to the relaxing atmosphere and empowering classes, and my classmates are now my friends. After 2 months of practicing at this studio, I'm the strongest I've ever been and running long distance has become easier. I highly recommend taking classes here. Thank you to Jim and all the great teachers!

I've been going to Yoga Nirvana for just over two years. Prior to that, I'd always been interested in yoga but too intimidated to try it. This studio really provides a welcoming environment, free from pretension or expectations. It's just a great place to learn and practice. I do still consider myself a beginner, but I've come a long way thanks to the fantastic instructors at Yoga Nirvana. One thing I enjoy is not only the variety of classes available, but the variety of instructors. Their unique approaches and personalities keep things fresh and interesting, which is important if you're like me and you get bored or unmotivated easily!

This studio offers a beautiful variety of classes! Whether you are looking to relax and re-energize, or for a more vigorous physical practice, you'll find what you are looking for. It is accessible by bike AND affordable to students at ASU and elsewhere. The studio also offers special workshops and classes where music, chanting, partner yoga, etc. are incorporated. This is one of my favorite studios in Tempe:)

This was the best yoga experience I have had yet. Jim the instructor was amazing and helpful. I loved getting lavender blown into my face at the end, it was a nice touch.

Yoga Nirvana has been a welcoming place for me after moving to Tempe almost 2 years ago. Yoga Nirvana is not only a place to practice yoga, but also a community. They have classes during everyday of the week and even on most holidays. Yogis of all levels of experience can find a class to fit their needs.
