YOGA

OUR YOGA PROGRAM

Whether you’re training Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, or hitting the gym hard, your body is constantly being pushed to its limits. Over time, tight muscles, reduced flexibility, and nagging aches can slow your progress, or even lead to injury. And it’s not just the body—mental stress and lack of focus can hold you back from performing at your best.

If you skip recovery, your training suffers. Limited flexibility means less mobility on the mats. Muscle imbalances increase your risk of injury. And when stress builds up, your ability to think clearly in high-pressure situations—like rolling, competing, or even daily life—takes a hit. Without the right recovery and mobility work, your body and mind never reach their full potential.

At ARES Arizona BJJ, our Yoga program is designed specifically to complement martial arts training and support a high-performance lifestyle. In every class, you’ll experience:

Improved Flexibility & Mobility – Move more freely, reduce stiffness, and open up your range of motion.

Increased Strength & Balance – Build stabilizing muscles that improve your performance in Jiu-Jitsu and other sports.

Faster Recovery – Stretch and release tension to speed up healing between hard training sessions.

Stress Reduction & Mental Clarity – Breathe, focus, and recharge your mind so you can train sharper and live calmer.

Our classes are beginner-friendly yet challenging for advanced practitioners, making them perfect for everyone, from complete yoga newcomers to seasoned athletes looking to take their recovery and performance to the next level.

🧘 Train smarter, recover faster, and perform better. Join us for Yoga at ARES Arizona BJJ and feel the difference on and off the mats.

Real Student Reviews

Read what our students have to say about our program.

Rafael “Centenario” E

"My family joined, but my three sons mainly go ages 14, 13, and 7 years old. I find the academy to be a great place for people of all ages. The coaches are patient, understanding and will knowledgeable of the Brazilian jiu-jitsu art, and a very youth friendly environment.

"It's a Great Academy"

Peter Settles

"This place is truly amazing. I’ve never done any martial arts or wrestling or fighting. I took my family for an intro class and it was exactly what we’ve been looking for. Something for me, my wife, and my daughter. Very inviting! Going into a gym for the first time is always intimidating. Between the other students, the coaches, and the atmosphere that intimidation goes to zero almost immediately. This is the kind of place that makes advanced students better but also gives white belts a seriously well balanced base in fundamentals. You will not regret checking this gym out."

Steven Collins

"Paul and Leslie Nava and all his coaches have created an amazing atmosphere of learning. I love being part of this family and community! BJJ will change your life, and if you ever want to take that step ... Ares BJJ is the place to start the journey!
