Banerjee
Founder & Head Teacher

Classes that are the perfect blend of fun and challenging.

Sumit Banerjee founded Sumit's Yoga in Scottsdale in 2000 and has spent over 25 years refining a method that is simultaneously accessible to beginners and demanding enough to transform experienced practitioners.

His teaching is known for bringing positivity and precision together — a rare combination that produces real results without the ego or intimidation that can accompany other intense practices.

Sumit personally trained every teacher in the network and continues to lead workshops, teacher trainings, and special events throughout the year.

Bikram · Yin Yoga · Hot Pilates · Sound Healing

After years of training and competing in the fitness world, Carole discovered Bikram Yoga helped heal her back pain. She became a Certified Bikram Teacher in 2013, went on to manage a studio in Orlando, Florida, and continued expanding her certifications. Through clear dialogue, encouragement, and love, her goal is to help students leave class feeling healthier, stronger, and more at ease.

A certified Mat Pilates instructor focused on slow, intentional movement. Jennifer's classes emphasize control, deep muscle engagement, and mindful movement so students feel the work in every exercise. She creates a supportive space where all levels can challenge themselves while staying connected to their bodies — with the goal of leaving class feeling stronger, grounded, and confident.

Kim

Yoga · Mindfulness

Kim Ewan has been teaching since 2006 — nearly two decades of experience. She is passionate about creating a welcoming, inclusive environment, encouraging students to honor their bodies and move with mindfulness and acceptance. Her non-aggressive approach allows each individual to work at their own pace, fostering balance, self-awareness, and ease both on and off the mat.

Michelle
Michelle
Sumit's Hot Yoga

Michelle has been practicing yoga for nearly two decades and has been teaching the Sumit's Hot Yoga sequence since 2016. Teaching is what grounds her and was ultimately the catalyst for major life upgrades. She feels blessed to witness students transform and grow in their practice. Michelle also owns an advertising agency and is a passionate mom of two sons.

Quin
Quin
Yoga · Breathwork

Quin is a yoga teacher with three years of experience who believes yoga is more than a practice on the mat — it's a way of showing up for yourself in everyday life. With a deep love for breathwork, Quin guides students to connect their breath with movement, building strength, presence, and resilience. The most meaningful part of teaching, for Quin, is witnessing students choose to show up for themselves.
