Ayla's classes are unlike any other yoga class you have been to before. Her orange classes are very dynamic, promoting strength and mobility. After one year of taking Ayla's classes my mobility had improved tremendously. After almost two years of taking her classes, I have much increased strength!
Ayla is so welcoming and friendly to all of her students and gives clear and patient instruction.
Starting to take her class has been one of the best decisions I have made and has significantly improved my quality of life.

I have been attending Ayla's classes for several months now. First of all, let me say that I have tried yoga several times before over the years, but have never enjoyed it for a variety of reasons, including weak wrists and a bad knee that has not allowed me to do simple things like "child's pose" and "down dog". I had given up on including yoga as a form of exercise, but I had heard so many positive things about Ayla's classes that I decided to try it.

Ayla is an incredible human being and an amazing instructor. Her attention to detail, and her care for her students shines through in all she does. Each class has been carefully thought through, and your entire body gets a workout during each session. She helps you make modifications if needed, and she gently stretches you to do more, to get stronger, and commit to the practice of yoga. I leave each class feeling stronger, more grounded, and knowing I am doing such good work for my overall health and body. I never thought I would look forward to yoga, the way I now do. She is the real deal.

I have been attending Clarity of Heart Yoga classes with Ayla for almost two years now. My life has changed so much for the better since starting her classes. If you need help physically, and if you can get up and down off the floor by yourself, this class is for you. There are people of all ages and conditions— I have 65+ rotations around the sun and it is perfect for my body. Not only do I get physical vitality and strength from the classes; I also get all the benefits of yoga; which means to yoke with your higher power whatever you perceive that to be. It is for every person out there, whatever your belief systems are. I am grateful for Ayla beyond measure, and I’m sure you will be too. There is a lot of ways you can keep up your practice. She has in studio classes, as well as an online platform so you can make the practice fit your life. If you need a solid anchor in the crazy world we are living in, no matter your age or shape, these yoga classes with consistent practice, will certainly change your life for the better. I am quite confident in that statement!

Ayla’s unique yoga instruction helps you find angles of movement, many supported and weighted by props, allowing relaxation into tight areas. I’ve noticed improved mobility and the release of pain from a months old hand injury. The sound bath at the closing of class will add calm and fill your soul with appreciation. Her classes are highly recommended!

I’ve done yoga for 30 years. The Therapeutic Yoga practice that Ayla teaches is the most innovative and successful practice I have ever been involved in. As long as I am vertical I will continue with this practice. Namaste!

This yoga is different from most any other in that it gently eases your body back into the way it is supposed to be. You discover places that you never knew were tight or that you have held in a certain way, and it is a beautifully awakening experience to both discover that and to be able to see improvement. I've had all kinds of body work trying to correct an uneven pelvic girdle, but I have finally found this gentle, easy way to get it back in line. And I believe my experience is shared by everyone in the class. It's a great community! Ayla, the owner/instructor is extremely focused and gets the most out of every moment. She's amazing. I leave there feeling so peaceful, in the moment, and aware of my body.

I discovered Ayla’s Therapeutic Yoga Method one year ago. The changes I’ve noticed in my joints, nervous system, and relationship to pain as a result of this work are remarkable. Ayla is a gifted teacher who offers a unique and gentle approach to healing and restoration. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to preserve function and/or reduce pain.

I've been attending Ayla's Therapeutic Yoga classes for 8 months and have so much praise for how much it has helped me. I can reach up to put things away without having any pain in my shoulders. My back no longer aches, the change in movement has been amazing. Ayla is a gem and I look forward to going to class every day.

I have been practicing Therapeutic Yoga Method with Ayla since January of this year. Her unique style of yoga is the perfect combination of active and passive poses. Ayla is an amazing teacher in how she cues directions and her attention to detail throughout the class. Also adding in nuggets of insight and wisdom for living daily life. I always leave there in a better state of mind…. more relaxed, centered and grounded. Not to mention the physical benefits with better range of motion and flexibility in my body. I highly recommend coming in and experiencing all the benefits yourself. It has been a lifesaver for me and exactly what I’ve been looking for in a yoga class for many years! 🙏💖

I’ve taken yoga classes for over 20 years, and the offerings at Clarity of Heart Yoga are unlike any yoga classes I had ever taken. The closest comparison is Restorative Yoga.

But I’ve taken those classes and holding a pigeon pose for 5 minutes did me more harm than good.

In Ayla’s class posses are held for a more manageable time, using props to get the benefit of the stretch without the pain. Ayla is attentive to all students helping them make adjustments to fit the needs of each student. I’ve never had a yoga instructor who is so focused on making each student experience the best for them.

And having taken her classes for a number of years I’m amazed at Ayla’s extensive library of posses which keeps your interest and uses different muscle groups.

These classes will improve your health and make you feel better.

As one of the other regular students said to me: Ayla’s classes are addictive but in a positive way!

I started attending Therapeutic Yoga classes Feb '24. As a 74 year old golfer, I needed to improve my overall flexibility. This is not your sister's yoga class. I have not only improved my flexibility, but also I have fewer mornings with Snap, Crackle, and Pop. My previous injuries have all been improved, as a result of these classes.

I started classes at Clarity of Heart Yoga approximately 1 year ago. I needed to stretch my work outs to alleviate stiffness and mild pain. I am so impressed with the results from the leadership i received from Ayla. I highly recommend this studio

Ayla is absolutely amazing and is such an intuitive instructor. She has a naturally calming presence and clear understanding of movement and personal limitations. It's also obvious that she has experience in other forms of movement and and I'm so appreciative of her ability to adapt her instruction to my own personal needs. My interactions with Ayla have always left my mind and body feeling peaceful and refreshed but somehow also energized.

Ayla’s class is gentle, loving and measured. I leave grounded and calm. Over time I notice my nervous system more open and less reactive. Ayla is sweet, open hearted and grateful and holds and transmits that energy to the participants. Thanks much Ayla.

Last month a dear group of my girlfriends and I traveled to Sedona for a long weekend of hiking, yoga and girl time. We happened across Clarity of Heart Yoga when Ayla so kindly reached out to one of us after seeing one of our adventures posted on IG and how fortunate we were, she invited us to come to one of her therapeutic yoga classes, after days of hiking this was very enticing! As practiced yoga instructors ourselves we have all been to many types of classes but I will tell you the car was buzzing with excitement and chatter after taking this incredible journey! To try to describe it would do it an injustice, for all levels please go take this class not for just your body as it will thank you, not just for your soul as it will be nourished, but for your mind, senses and spirit- it’s incredible!

Thankful for Ayla and her dedication to therapeutic healing! Her classes are a one of a kind in Sedona and something that must be experienced! She uses a variety of props to help aid the body in healing and I got to enjoy my class on a bio mat today, which was a great bonus. Clarity of heart is my only spot for yoga!

Ayla’s Therapeutic Yoga class I have found to be so beneficial . Her classes are well planned and vary from day to day . She is a lovely, knowledgeable and loving human being . It is clear she is passionate about her craft and works with each students individual needs. After several months of dedicating my practice with Ayla , my range of motion has improved and I have less resistance / aches . I highly recommend her and the benefits gained from participating in multiple classes weekly .

While visiting Sedona I had the pleasure of taking class at Clarity of Heart Yoga! Ayla is incredibly gentle and kind, and has a naturally healing presence. The therapeutic yoga classes were accessible for all ages and skill levels and I felt mentally and physically rejuvenated afterwards. The studio space is clean and warm, and has beautiful natural lighting with a view of the red rocks. I look forward to returning to the studio next time I am in Sedona! :)

I recently had the pleasure of attending Ayla's newly opened yoga studio, and I must say, it's a true gem. Ayla is not just a yoga teacher; she's a therapeutic guide who has created a haven for mind and body.

From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of calm and serenity. The studio's ambiance is inviting and Ayla's classes are a therapeutic experience, a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Ayla's teaching style is both knowledgeable and intuitive. Her cues are clear, and she emphasizes mindfulness and self-care. It feels like a therapeutic class where you can truly connect with yourself.

What sets Ayla apart is her passion for yoga and her dedication to her students. She offers guidance, modifications, and a listening ear, creating a supportive community. It's clear that she's not just a yoga teacher but a therapeutic mentor on the path to well-being.

I highly recommend Ayla's studio for those seeking therapeutic yoga. It's a place to find balance, strength, and inner peace, all in a warm and welcoming environment. Thank you, Ayla, for this therapeutic oasis. I can't wait for my next class. Namaste.

Ayla's teaching approach of gentle therapeutic yoga brings relief and relaxation to my aging body. The classes are as aggressive as the individual wants them to be because there is no forcing your body into positions that cross the line. Ayla's is always reminding the class to not over do it, but to take yourself into positions where you feel safe and comfortable. The practice shows me hidden tensions I wasn't aware I was carrying around. It's great to get rid of unnecessary tensions and tightness. Great class for maintaining balance and keeping your happiness level up high. Thanks, Ayla!! -Steve Hunter

This was the best yoga class I have ever been to. The space felt inviting and peaceful the moment I stepped inside. It was clean and spacious.
Ayla combined gentle restorative yoga postures with a sound bath at the end. My body felt more relaxed than I had in months. I was blissed for days following and will only attend Clarity of Heart for my yoga. Thank you Ayla you are gem and I am so happy you are here in Sedona.

Therapeutic Yoga is LIFE-CHANGING and Clarity of Heart Yoga is the best yoga studio I have ever been to. I attended many classes here during my time in Sedona and I could not recommend it more. This was my first time trying therapeutic yoga and I didn't know what to expect, but now I can say it is the only yoga classes I want to attend. I felt the healing results in my body after the first session. Ayla is an incredibly gifted teacher who guides you through not only a yoga sequence, but transformative wisdom and sound healing. A must for anyone visiting or living in Sedona.

Ayla is such a present, grounded, amazing teacher with a really unique approach; her work is equally therapeutic as it is transcendental and shamanic, and her knowledge of her practice is profound. I absolutely recommend everyone living in or visiting Sedona go visit Clarity of Heart Yoga, you’ll love it, I did! Thanks Ayla!

I am so grateful that I have found Ayla and therapeutic yoga. I am 81 and have not always been kind to my body. But when I spend 75 minutes in her class, I come out refreshed and relaxed and feel like a new man. Thank you, Ayla.
