We love having you in class and as part of our community! Thank you for the kind review :)
Rosa is such an amazing teacher. Her sculpt class was the perfect amount of sweat, weights, and yoga. Best workout class I have taken in a really long time.
Love to hear this ! Rosa has been a great addition to our team. We hope to see you in class again soon ...
I’ve been coming to this beautiful studio since around the time it opened and it has been my most favorite find! The variety of classes that are offered between yoga, Pilates and barre makes this my one-stop studio for all my fitness needs, and I love that this studio caters to all types of people who are at different levels in their fitness journeys. Celeste and her team of teachers do an incredible job creating an inclusive community and providing a supportive environment for students to practice.
Our South Tempe studio wouldn't be the same without you!
This studio was so welcoming! Everyone inside was kind. There were no mirrors which made me feel super comfortable and focus more on my body. I will be back next time I’m in town!!
We are so glad to hear you felt grounded and comfortable in our space. Next time you're looking for pilates, barre, or yoga, come visit us in Tempe! Thank you for sharing :)
I absolutely love Protea Movement Studio! The hot pilates and steady warm flow classes are amazing, and the energy in the studio is always so positive and welcoming. There’s truly no judgment, and all of the instructors are so kind and helpful with modifications. As a bigger girly, it means so much to have a place where I can work out and feel included instead of judged. If you’ve been nervous about trying a class or starting your fitness journey, this is such a safe and encouraging space for everybody. I always leave feeling stronger and more confident. Highly recommend!
We love hearing this, Luz! You movement practice is inspiring to all of us and we love your energy. See you in a Hot Pilates or Steady Flow class soon!
I have taken classes with both Celeste and Edana, both wonderful teachers! I love the Saturday morning Sweat to Sound classes (hot pilates + sound bath). It's the perfect combo - I get my butt kicked with a good workout and then get to relax and breathe to the sound bath to set my intentions for the day.
We are so glad you are finding the medicine you need!~ We can't wait to welcome you back in to class soon here in our South Tempe studio:)
I truly enjoy coming in and the classes I've taken I've loved. My only issue honestly is the availability of classes when I'm not working, but I know that's a very hard thing for new studio to have.
We try to accommodate with some early am and evening classes, and I'm so glad you are finding class times to get your practice in! As we grow we can't wait to expand our schedule. Thanks for the feedback and looking forward to seeing you in studio again soon!
Protea Movement Studio absolutely delivered the perfect reset. I took Sweat (Hot Pilates) to Sound with Edana Roberts, and it was one of the most balanced, intentional classes I’ve experienced. The first half pushed me exactly how I like to be pushed. Focused core work, steady intensity, and that deep, earned heat that makes you feel strong and alive. It was challenging without being chaotic. Every movement had purpose. The transition into restoration with sound bowls was seamless. The shift from effort to surrender felt deliberate and powerful. After building heat and fatigue, melting into the sound immersion allowed everything to integrate. It was not just relaxing. It felt recalibrating. Edana holds the room with calm confidence. Clear cues, grounded energy, and a presence that makes you want to lean in and work harder, then fully let go. If you want a class that strengthens your body and resets your nervous system, this is it. Highly recommend.
We appreciate such a stellar review! Looking forward to seeing you in studio again soon ;)
I LOVE this studio! Not only is it beautiful and intimate, but Celeste and all the facilitators here are so sweet. I took a yoga class with Deb and it was so nourishing. Come check them out!
Thank you Tiana! Looking forward to welcoming you back in soon.
The most beautiful space with classes that fit all ranges of abilities! I love Deb & Celeste’s classes, especially slow flow and yin. You can tell they truly care about their students & their community. Love this studio!
So glad the studio is resonating with you. Love having you in class !
