It's not just business, it's personal.

"The logo of the Phoenix is a symbol of transformation; emerging a stronger version of yourself by embracing physical, mental & emotional trials in a positive, healthy way. Learning to be 'comfortably uncomfortable' is what yoga is all about. Manifesting this transformation through support and results is what UY&W is all about."

Utah Yoga & Wellness was created by Elise Jones in 2015, as an information website uniting communities through wellness in a fun lighthearted way. Creating "Unity in Community," what began as promoting local wellness events & products, grew into a family operated Studio/Wellness/Training center from 2018-2020, with 24 instructors/therapists.

Elise has since founded Utah Hygge Retreats, Utah River Retreats & Utah Yoga & Wellness Festival, also dedicated to teaching public classes, workshops & events.

Striving to strengthen 'Unity in Community,' we believe in the culmination of camaraderie, dedication, and a little laughter to achieve positive results and overall wellbeing. -Laughter is healing too. Keeping it real and more personal, brings value and connection to our community.

It's not just business, it's personal.
