Anton has become an integral part of my life through a blend of almost daily on-demand sessions and occasional in-person classes. Rolling out my mat for one of Anton’s exceptional classes is the highlight of my day. His creativity, succinct cues, and focus on body mechanics are truly remarkable, and I appreciate the flexibility he offers to tailor my experience.

Anton has profoundly helped me understand the importance of being present, a lesson I carry into my daily life and share with others. Whenever I face a challenge, I find strength in one of Anton’s empowering mantras: “I command my presence, I own my power, I know who I am.”

Moreover, it’s a joy to witness how much Anton enjoys syncing his cues with the lyrics of his music, adding an extra layer of connection to each session.

Thank you, Anton, for your unwavering dedication and for making such a positive impact on my life.

The more I take John's class, the more impressed I am . He is really helping me build my practice, and more importantly, gain a better understanding of Yoga itself. Thank you!

John is nothing short of phenomenal.
He offers crystal clear instruction, the best adjustments, wonderful playlists and modifications for all levels. I have been teaching classes for almost 40 years yet I learn something new every class I take with him. Simply the best!

The best studio in Scottsdale by far. I relocated from Denver and was having difficulty finding a legitimate yoga studio. I wish I had found Modern much sooner!

Outstanding is an understatement. Kristin is the most creative and talented teacher at modern yoga. Every class gets better and better. Everyone must take her class at least once, hard yet so rewarding.

I found a home at Modern Yoga, after having been to many studios. You will find a wide variety of types participants in each class (young, old, big, little, experienced and new comers), I feel no judgement or pressure at this studio and their instructors are amazing.

It’s been a long time coming. I’ve been spoiled with rock solid yoga teacher titans. I can’t just take a class anymore. I have standards, and “special needs”
I was, inspired, motivated, and corrected with total respect. My husbands 3rd class ever, he was safe, and had an amazing time. It’s not easy to keep the focus of a veteran yoga teacher, and an absolute beginner with legs the size of an oak.

What I can tell you, so far, is every single person that works at this school, and teachers there has been taught well. They love yoga, and it’s obvious they live yoga.

John Salisbury, and his highly respected crew over-deliver. We drive anywhere from 30-45 minutes to take his class.

Thanks a million 💛🤙

My first time with John and probably my favorite class thus far! John led with just the right pace and such wisdom, focusing on the breath and the right form. Appreciated the individual attention and correction / guidance and demonstration of postures. Thank you! Will be back :)

One of my very favorite yoga studios! I've attended many classes by most of the instructors, and I am always walking out better than I walked in.

The classes are well-paced, with clear instructions and modifications for different skill levels. I especially appreciate how each instructor focuses on both physical alignment and the mental aspects of yoga, always encouraging mindfulness throughout the practice.

The environment they create is calming and supportive, and I leave every class feeling rejuvenated, centered, and stronger. I highly recommend their classes to anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice in a positive and encouraging space :)

It was a lovely class with Christina. Her instruction is very clear with great cues and reminders to keep your muscles engaged, yet also to stay with the breath and feeling of the practice. This is a great slower flow class, and it was just what I needed. It brought joy to my day- thank you!

AMAZING yoga studio! I've taken several flows and yin classes and every time I feel like a new person. John gives wonderful hands-on corrections and really pushes his students, but gently. I've also noticed how friendly and welcoming the students are which to me is huge. Classes are heated but reasonably so. I work up a great sweat but don't feel like I'm going to die after. I'm looking forward to practicing here more - thank you for the wonderful classes and community you've created, John! <3

I haven't had this type of yoga experience in almost 5 years. It's a place of learning while practicing with a great energy level. My 3 'new members' classes were with John Salisbury and I couldn't have been more pleased with his teaching methods. Hands on adjustments are the norm!

I've been consistently coming now for 4 months. I normally would just jump around to studios. I had a few people recommend coming here. I loved the vibe from day one! It's so educational, I absolutely love the music, and all the instructors are great in their own way. I have seen and felt a difference not only in my body but in my mind and spirit as well. So grateful for this place. Looking forward to more progress.

If you are looking for mindful, breath to movement yoga - this is the place for you! I LOVE this studio. I tried a whole bunch of studios around the valley and all of them felt more like a workout class than yoga. The studio doesn't use artificial humidity and is kept warm but not overwhelmingly hot (don't be confused though, you'll still get a great sweat) - I think it's in the low 90s if memory serves. The classes are all different (so not the same sequence each time) and I love that. They are challenging but in a way that makes you feel good (and strong) and not like some of the other hot yoga studios in the valley that just leave you feeling depleted.

If you are a man reading this review, you won't be alone in class. While I've found that yoga classes are typically dominated by women, there are a lot of men at this studio which is a nice change of pace. I suppose it may seem like kind of a strange thing to mention but thought it could be helpful to someone out there!

I also love the Sunday night Yin class as a great reset for the week ahead! So, so thankful I found this studio!

Modern Yoga is a great spot. John is extremely knowledgeable but is also very humble and open which I especially appreciate. His fundamentals class is very helpful for all levels. There are a wide variety of teachers, music and something for everyone.

Some of the earliest references to yoga date back to the first half of the first millennium BCE (1000–500 BCE). Yoga is full of history, traditions, and teachings. For this reason, the study of yoga takes time and patience. Modern Yoga of Scottsdale takes such an approach. John Salisbury is patient; he takes all styles of learning into consideration. When I attended Modern Yoga, student ages ranged from 18 - 78. John accommodated everyone's learning style. He did not cram material or promise to have students certified with unrealistic timelines like other yoga studios. As an older veteran, this program was a game-changer for me.

Excellent heated yoga studio and really enjoyed the class taught by Adam.

Studio is very spacious, with multiple rooms for yoga practice. I came here on a Monday night for a 6pm heated yoga session. Doors were locked to about 15 minutes prior to class beginning. Ample parking available.

Check-in was easy and if you're new to this studio, there is a current offer for $30 for 3 classes in 2 weeks.

Female locker room has a large changing area, also with bathrooms and showers available. Complimentary towels were available for shower only.

There are bolsters and blocks available, if your teacher chooses to use them.

Class was solid and you will definitely sweat and work! I really enjoy these types of heated yoga classes with a bit of Vinyasa blended in.

I will definitely be back and really had a very nice stretch session in a heated room!
