Yoga near Madison Heights

“This studio is not only exactly what I was looking for as a beginner, but Jessica(the instructor)was able to guide me along my journey of healing. The classes are the perfect size and the price is right! It’s a treat to have someone as kind as they are professional at the front of the class and Jessica @ Studio One provides that with every class I’ve attended.“

“Great staff! Great service! Dr Keith has helped improve my back and neck pain tremendously!“

“I've had a great experience at Fit Park - I love that I can get a workout in during lunch. Mark changes things up too, so I never get bored! I'll always hate Burpees and Mountain Climbers, but that's another story :)“

“Rebecca saves my life Everytime I show up! She's also targeted many area of relief for me and I'm always excited to see what we can work on next.“

“Back in September, I came to one of the dinners to show support for a family member, and yet, during the presentation I found myself raising my hand to some of Nicole's questions, nodding, and even tearing up. I knew that this journey here at the WTI was one I needed to explore, because that day, for the first time in a while, I ended up feeling as if there was a "glimmer of hope".... for myself.Before joining the program I experienced a lot of "crumby" feelings: from frequent headaches & migraines, debilitating tension, bouts of unexplained anxiety, to irritable bowel flare-ups. I felt as if there were more bad days than good. I was miserable. Looking back I realize that I wasn't living life to the fullest. I dreaded making plans with anyone because I never knew how I was going to feel. There were so many times that I'd be excited about something but then I would have to cancel because my body was hurting in some way or another. It's understandable that over time, with this type of pattern, the invitations eventually stopped coming.I'm learning and have learned so much from the WTI team. I'm a visual and hands-on learner so the cooking demos, the handouts, and yoga classes have all been very helpful. This is one of the reasons I'm confident that I'll be able to continue with my healthier-me journey because the information presented; the "whys", the "whats", and the "hows" are all laid out nicely and make sense.Through the guidance and support of my WTI team, I've been able to stop relying on prescription medications, ("oral Band-Aids") and can proudly say that it has been a little over 7 months since needing refills on any of them, including the beta-blocker! I have built a healthier relationship with food and have even identified a few that cause sensitivities. I've finally kicked the unhealthy relationship that I formed with caffeine; I used to drink 2-3 energy drinks and at least a couple of cups of coffee with copious amounts of flavored creamer, daily. I don’t need it and realize that there are so many better choices out there.Since joining & completing the program: I've also lost about 16 pounds, am much more hydrated, my skin looks brighter, and all around I'm starting to feel better. I've started venturing out, planning engagements and committing to plans again. I've found a new love and appreciation for yoga, as well as deep breathing. I know that I'm a work in progress and that this is something I'm mindfully going to need to stick with, but that doesn't scare me. What scares me (or scared me) was the thought of forever feeling the way that I did before.Today I feel hopeful, unstuck. I feel as if I'm starting to take back my life, I'm starting to actually live it.Thank you all for the knowledge, courage & support you've given me throughout these last few months. I will forever be grateful.“

“I started with the 10 day for $10 beginners package and tried a variety of classes, then I signed back in for another month. I'm an older woman and a true beginner - zero flexibility and terrible balance. In just 2 weeks my balance began to improve. The flexibility is going to take a little longer but I know it will come. I enjoy the peacefulness of yoga and the participants are really nice, non-judgmental and very supportive. In the studio, there are no expectations. The level you are at is the level you are at. I like that I can progress at my own rate and am not intimidated. So far, the only instructor I've had is Patty. She's great and makes very gentle corrections. If you're thinking about yoga but worried about being intimidated by a room full of perfect people doing perfect poses - try the beginning classes at Strongheart - whatever level you are at is acceptable and you won't be disappointed.“

“I had great help with my frozen shoulder here. I knew I had to get some good help and the PT there sad they knew what to do. They were right“

“Love the mommy and baby classes. Instructors are engaging and fun. On top of yoga, they incorporate music, songs and free play for the kids. Great thing to do to get out of the house with your little one, especially during the colder months!“

“My name is Samerah Al-ayoubi . I wanted to say that my therapy there improved so much after I had shoulder and arm pain. Thank you to the team and the best doctor !“

“I’ve been practicing here for almost 12 years (on and off due to moving and life) and no place is cleaner, kinder, and more inviting than Thrive. Every single instructor is so incredibly patient and the atmosphere is always relaxing and invigorating at the same time. I recommend them to everyone and look forward to many more years of practice at Thrive!“

“Welcoming community for all skill levels with a great variety & wonderful instructors. Have been happy with every class I have attended!!! My favorite class is the Somatic Yoga one on Tuesdays!!!!“

“This is the best yoga studio around. Very welcoming. Extremely knowledgeable teachers. Their focus and wisdom on anatomy is top notch. So glad I found Explore Yoga!“

“Almost the perfect set up for my yoga addiction. I live in Ohio and have only experienced Detroit Yoga online. They have a fantastic streaming set up - which works just about all the time. The few occasions there are technical issues, they have a wealth of recorded videos available in their library. The studio offers a lot of classes every day and many great instructors. During the week, there noon, 4:30 and 5:30 classes which fits my work schedule great. I work from home and enjoy taking a lunch break or catching a class to end my day. The only thing I would like better is more yin/restorative classes and a little cheaper monthly fee. I highly recommend you check it out if you are at all interested.“

“Hands down one of the BEST studios in the city. I wish they had more classes, more instructors, && more available classes. All the instructors are sprightly delightful, && welcoming. Non judgmental atmosphere . Love it “

“Amazing classes for everyone from beginner to advanced. Instruction is top notch and offer modifications that help me get deeper into the practice through breath and movement. I love the traditional yoga feel of ashtanga and also enjoy the modern upbeat of vinyasa. Five Stars! xx“

“Lots of variety, friendly staff, and convenient location ( we'll see how that new hotel affects us)“

“I highly recommend the Center for Iyengar Yoga for all who have an interest in connecting body, mind and breath to serve your well-being. Under the instruction of the Center Director, Christopher Briney, everyone can learn to make these vital connections within. No matter your age, perceived physical limitations, Chris will work with you and meet you where you are on your yoga journey. Whether you are a beginner, new to the Iyengar method or advanced and looking to deepen your practice, this is the studio for you. The sessions are like semesters which are great for development of your practice. Drop-in classes are also available for those wanting to give it a try. There is much value in having a teacher who is also a continuing student. The Center Director continues to take classes from Prashant Iyengar and the value is passed on to those fortunate enough to study at The Center for Iyengar Yoga Royal Oak. Classes are also available online. In person classes offer the additional benefit of all necessary equipment being provided including mats. The studio is beautiful and clean. The teaching includes philosophy of yoga and personalized attention to detail as the Director takes the time to get to know you and any physical limitations that may require alternative pose options. Classes at The Center for Iyengar Yoga Royal Oak have a positive health impact that goes beyond the physical.“

“Trina is Absolutely Phenomenal! Her Services are Beyond Effective. I get SO much from her yoga. I experience relaxation, opening up to myself and God and putting my body in a more well state though the stretching and poses. So Beneficial!“

“Excellent facility. Yvette was a remarkable yoga teacher. She lead us into various breathing exercises, movements, mediation and played soothing songs. I highly recommend this facility and Yvette.“

“I recently attended a hot yoga class led by Jake at the Rochester studio, and it was a wonderful experience! Jake's guidance was both calming and motivating, the session was enjoyable and challenging at the same time. He offered space for variation and was encouraging. The studio itself had a welcoming atmosphere and the woman at the front desk was attentive and kind. I left feeling refreshed and excited to return for more sessions. Highly recommend giving Jake's class a try for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice“

“My friend and I did a stay at the room here that was listed on AirBNB, which also gets you free admission into The Schvitz as well during your stay, so it was really cute! The room itself (a bedroom and a living room space) was super cutely decorated and the perfect amount of room for the two of us doing an overnight stay. The overall Convent space is pretty interesting and unlike anywhere I've ever stayed before. The downstairs space is a very large rooms/event spaces that are all decorated with bits of art from local artists that you can purchase and is independently run from the AirBNB. There was an event they were setting up for in the downstairs space for later that evening when we showed up and I believe the event happened and was taken down in the span of time it took for us to go out to dinner and come back, so that was interesting lol! The upstairs space is a long hallway with various different businesses in rooms on either side of the hall, with the high majority of these businesses focused on holistic healing and arts. My friend and I took advantage of our close proximity to these businesses and booked individual sessions with an energy healer that did energy readings of us, which was very enlightening for the both of us! The bathroom for the AirBNB is communal and located at the end of the hallway on this second floor closest to the AirBNB, but I assume that everyone in the building can access it as it has two stalls, two sinks, and a shower if you're so inclined as well. All in all, it was a good experience and I'm glad to have done it, but I don't know that I would personally do it again. I felt a steady level of anxiousness the entire time I was here, which I'm not entirely sure where that came from, but I think I could just chalk it up to me being in a space where I didn't feel completely safe even though there wasn't anything specific that made me feel unsafe here by any means. I just felt a tiny bit on edge the entire time I was here.“

“Warm, welcoming, clean studio. Top notch instruction, overall five star heated vinyasa flow for this experienced yogi. Thanks Steph!“

“We had our sons birthday party here and Juliana was our host. We had a fantastic experience, the space was perfect and so cute and cozy. Juliana was so helpful and made us feel so comfortable: offering to get music on, helping set up and clean up, being so kind and patient as this was the first birthday party (outside of just family) I’ve thrown for our little guy! The space has lots of options for creative, low stimulation, imaginative play. I do think the space is best suited for 3 and under birthday party as any older you may need a bit more space. But our sons 3 year old party where children were all 3 and under: it was perfect and definitely recommend!!“

“I would give them ten stars if I could! They foster an environment full of positive vibes. It is the only time during the day that I don’t have my phone on me and can let go and get lost in the moment with the music and the flow. I have attended yoga classes throughout the country and in Europe; what Community Yoga Studio offers is something unlike anything I have experienced anywhere. The teachers are great. And whether I know them or not, everyone I run into there feels like my extended yoga family! I highly recommend this place!“

“This place is a gem. I did a drop in class with my partner and have been hooked. I take the 7am Hot Pilates with Dave C and love it. The studio is CLEAN, calm, and friendly. Plus Dave’s playlist is unmatched! 10/10 would recommend.“
