“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.“
“Lots of variety, friendly staff, and convenient location ( we'll see how that new hotel affects us)“
“Citizen Yoga and its staff are excellent! The studio has a great atmosphere, and I’ve really enjoyed all of the classes I’ve taken there. I’ve attended classes with live music and practices other than yoga which were all great, but my routine class is Melissa Wagasy’s Sunday morning Blend.This wonderful class eases into a flow that builds heat, followed by a slow down. Melissa has built a variety of playlists that are a perfect companion to the pace of the class. I find myself looking forward to those challenging, yet rewarding 75 minutes all week long. I really enjoy her as an instructor and plan to continue to take her classes as I develop my practice.“
“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!!!!“
