Welcome to Flagstaff!

We are so excited to announce…

the reopening of the beloved Bikram Yoga studio in downtown Flagstaff! There was so much love, sweat, and transformation that took place in this space and it is our great joy to reignite this fire once more. We have given the space a beautiful facelift (new studio rooms including new floors, paint, upgraded the bathrooms, locker rooms, lobby and more!).  

For those of you I have not yet met, my name is Nicole Deacon and I am the co-owner and founder of The Foundry AZ.  I did my first yoga Teacher Training in the fall of 2005. Since June of 2006 I have been running Hot Yoga Studios in the Phoenix area. My husband Andrew Miller was born and raised in Flagstaff. We are happy to call Flagstaff home now with our son, Bodhi, and our 3 dogs, Rootie, Bisbee & Copper.

We are so excited to open our 4th yoga studio in our new hometown! Our downtown Flagstaff location is next to Fratelli Pizza in the rock building, in the same parking lot as Beaver Street Brewery!

In addition to offering daily 26&2 hot yoga classes, our schedule will also include Hot Pilates, Hot Barre, Hot HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), Meditation and Restorative Basic Yoga. The response from students at the Foundry locations in the Valley has been overwhelmingly positive to the addition of these specific modalities and it is our experience that they are each an exceptional compliment in their own right to the 26&2 hot yoga practice!

We hope that you will join our Foundry Family and help us make the Flagstaff studio a place that brings health, happiness, and transformation.  

Warmly,
Nicole

Park & Studio Update 8-19-2020

Hello Foundry Fam!

As many of you have noticed, some gyms and studios around the valley have started to open. This past weekend we submitted our Covid-19 Procedures and Guidelines to the Arizona Department of Health. They are reviewing these case by case and we are very hopeful that our approval from AZDHS to reopen is coming soon! You will be the first to know! Our teachers and studios are ready and we can't wait to sweat with you again!

Due to City of Phoenix Park restrictions, we have moved a couple of our classes:
Starting tomorrow morning:
Thursdays 7am HIIT & Tuesdays 6pm Yogalates will be at Cactus Park

7202 E. Cactus Road
Scottsdale, AZ 85260
(NE Corner of Scottsdale Rd & Cactus)

We appreciate you and hope to see you at the park (or in a studio soon!)

Sincerely,
Nicole, Todd, Heidi Jo, Niki, and the rest of our Foundry Team

An Update From The State: 8-11-2020

Hello Foundry Family,

As some of you may have heard, we were given guidelines yesterday afternoon from the government regarding our reopening. Currently, no indoor gyms or fitness centers are permitted to open. The new requirement states that we will be able to reopen when Maricopa County moves from "substantial" to "moderate" community spread. Since we have such strong safety measures in place at The Foundry, we are petitioning to reopen sooner, but for now, we must remain closed for public classes.

Based on this new information, we are adding more park classes (starting Wednesday, August 12th), giving a discount on private appointments, as well as a discount on the foundry-online.com to help more people stay active during this time! See more information below. And feel free to reach out to us with any questions or concerns! 

Only love,

Nicole, Todd, Heidi Jo & Niki

An Update from Us

Dear Students,

On June 26th we celebrated our 14th anniversary in business! It was an anniversary like no other... no party... no sales... no real celebration. As owners we anticipate challenges, but never did we imagine a scenario where we would be mandated to close the studios and not to be able to provide the hot yoga and fitness environment that makes such a huge impact on our wellbeing, health, and for many of us our sanity.

Luckily we practice yoga... we believe in finding peace no matter what the circumstance and we are flexible enough to change with the times. And luckily we have the MOST AMAZING COMMUNITY. We have seen many yoga studios and small businesses close, but because of the tremendous support we have received we are able to remain operational and keep some of our staff and teachers working. Thank you! Thank you!

Yesterday we were informed that the mandate to keep fitness centers closed has been extended at least another two weeks and they will continue to evaluate and extend until Arizona's COVID numbers are more manageable. 

We know that many of you are missing the HOT room! Starting immediately we will be selling Private Class bookings at all 4 studios. See below for more info! Planning a trip to Flagstaff??? Nicole would love to see you. Book an apt with her or one of the Flagstaff teachers HERE. You can create your own PRIVATE retreat!!  

We will also continue OUTDOOR classes. Starting in August these remain FREE for active members and will be $10 for visiting students.

It was so nice to be open and with all of you in June. We learned a lot about what the future holds!! Operating at 50% of our capacity with our operational expenses staying at nearly 100% is not a long term option for us. In order to stay viable and also to give you MORE opportunities and options we have to change our membership structure. If you have an active membership you will stay at your same rate and you will be able to practice up to 8 times each month! Unlimited Memberships will be available at an increased price and you will have the freedom to take more classes with more availability.

If you have an active membership throughout the rest of the year you will continue to get access to The Foundry Online (TFO), your rates will stay the same (membership will change to be able to take up to 8 classes), FREE outdoor classes, and 20% off of your membership in 2021!  

We know that we are not the only ones trying to figure out how to make businesses and finances work right now. Please keep moving and stay connected. We have a free section on TFO that updates every couple of weeks and Outdoor Classes available at discounted rates!  

We are so grateful for all of your continued support! If you have any questions please let us know.

See you on the Mat Soon,

Nicole, Todd, Niki, and Heidi Jo
