This place deserves 5 stars for one reason, and 3 stars for another. I've only tried yoga a couple of times, but have to say it was really a positive experience at A2. Some places can be way too "hippied-out", but for the most part that isn't true here. And, the instructors seem to really know what they're doing and care that you have a good experience. The ONLY thing that's keeping the extra star off is the fact that we had a bad experience with the billing process. We bought a couple of multi-passes, and the woman selling them to us told us that we might as well get the ten-session pass, cause they're good "forever". Had she actually used the Dr Evil "laser" quotes, I'd have not bought the multi-pass, as "forever" was actually only "six months." To her credit, the owner gave my wife 6 or 7 free passes, but I still lost over $100 in the deal. Buyer beware, just ask the question before you assume "forever" is actually "forever." Other than that, good place. I, for myself, will stick to lifting, cardio and classes at my "normal" gym. read more

I hate to say it because I had high hopes... but this studio really doesn't have anything too great. Mediocre teachers and classes... and I do agree with some of the below reviews that the attitudes there aren't the most "yoga-ish"... I'm still looking for a great yoga studio... for now... and this is not it. Floors kind of dirty, disorganized and not very calming, they send out e-mail spam, not great instruction, kind of weird vibe all around, felt kind of rushed in and out. Bummer. read more

Whether you are new to yoga or feel comfortable with it, A2 yoga will meet all your needs. I have been doing yoga on my own at home, but as a first-timer going to an actual class, I was nervous! My husband and I went to several classes because we tried the free classes for 7 days. This is a great way to to try different types and see what you like. We tried the following and all were fantastic! 1. Vinyasa. Because of constant movement for this one, we really liked it. It is challenging, but more than doable! I forgot the teacher for this one, but she was great - she went around and corrected my posture and moves. 2. Free community Pranya Vinyasa with Ana. loved this one! Many moves I haven't done before so it was exciting. Ana is enthusiastic and very helpful. She corrected some of my moods. She also gives you a modified version for beginners. 3. Anusara with Heather. Heather was great, but this was not our favorite because of many moves that required you to look down so I felt dizzy. And, I didn't really like the headstand and other moves on the walls. But, it was still a great experience to try something different! The environment is calming and encouraging. No one cares if you are new or experienced. We are now looking into getting a pass. We felt so great after each class and my husband is experiencing less back pains! read more

They have a great intro offer of 1 week of free classes! Trying out different styles of yoga and different teachers was really helpful. Regular free community classes show commitment to access for all. Nice mix of students in each class. The different payment options like a block of classes help take the excuse out of regularly attending too. read more

Friday's 5:30 pm donation-based community class with Ana is one of the best yoga classes I have ever been to! The owner teaches this very fluid-like vinyasa class weekly. I like it because it is very challenging (many of the other yoga instructors are students in this class) and Ana is very good at getting me to push my boundaries and try things I wouldn't think is possible. In addition, Ana is excellent at reminding me to relax and to find some more joy in my practice (and in the rest of life), no matter how much my muscles are working and how much I am sweating. I don't have much experience with the other classes, but if the other instructors are anywhere as awesome as Ana is, I am sure that they are great. Other notes: there are changing rooms, towels for wiping up sweat, mats for rent, parking is free but tight. They also offer massages in the same space. read more

A2 Yoga is the homiest yoga studio in the Ann Arbor/Ypsi area that I've been to. I'm a regular now and I love it. Their prices are very fair - students get a discount, which brings it down to $14 for a drop-in class. This is well worth it for the quality of the classes and the attention from the instructors that you get. I find that attending classes to A2 Yoga has really strengthened my love for Yoga and improved my practices. My favorite instructor is John - his Vinyasa class is always hard work, but I've never feel more energetic or centered after a class like his. If you haven't been to A2 Yoga since they've moved locations, you should check it out again. Their new studio on Commerce Blvd. is spacious and homey - located right behind the Post Office on Stadium. read more

YES. This places allows me to sing my woman song. I enter a grumpy, stressed out, achy-backed graduate student with a predilection for calling people disgusting little pigs (ala Alec Baldwin) and exit a beret-tossing Mary Tyler Moore (minus the conservativism). This place saved my sanity during the Michigan winters and I'm pretty sure my partner worships A2 Yoga now that the physical abuse has all but ceased. Five stars babay baby. read more

This is a great studio with a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere. I take the vinyasa and power yoga classes and I always feel so refreshed and calm afterwards. The studio itself is clean, environmentally-conscious, and the staff is friendly. The instructors, for the most part, are really skilled and knowledgable, but now that I've been with that studio for about 6 months, I've noticed that the staff is a bit uneven. Jo and Deanna are my favorite instructors. And when Patrick subs, you should definitely take his class. You'll get a great workout. But instructors like Johnny give directions that are somehow both vague and complicated, so everyone just stands in a half-formed pose and looks around to see what others are doing. Overall, though, great studio! And students get a discount! read more

I owe this place my sanity. I have never enjoyed yoga as much as I do at A2 Yoga. I committed to 20 classes as a way to force myself to give it a real chance and after 5 I was hooked. The pricing is reasonable and incredibly flexible. The space is beautiful with natural lighting, cool murals, and gorgeous hardwood floors. Most importantly, it's a really safe and non-judgmental atmosphere. I recommend taking Heather's classes for beginning yoga and Anusara. She's amazing. read more

I really appreciate the community of teachers here. Many of them are very seasoned and have a great deal of training. It's a place we're you know that you will receive high-level instruction in your class, and solid guidance. read more

I've been doing various types of yoga in California, Arizona, Missouri and Michigan over the past 10 years. A2 yoga is definitely among my favorites because Ana is an amazing teacher. She teaches a form of yoga called Prana Vinyasa which is a more fluid version of vinyasa. While I love most vinyasa and especially power vinyasa, the prana version is very liberating. Ana's dedication to her students and passion shines through each class. A2 also offers free community classes every week, so for those on a budget, this is a great opportunity to do yoga affordably. read more

A2 Yoga is hands down the best yoga studio in Ann Arbor. Upon moving here I searched high and low for a challenging and affordable studio. Most places I tried out were ridiculously overpriced and/or just not very engaging. A2 fit both of my criteria. They offer a wide array of classes and instructors and their student rate is the cheapest in town. I highly reccomend A2, try one of Jo's classes, she's great! read more

Excellent classes. Great for people who are looking for a touch of spiritual exercise in addition to a physical workout.

i love A2 Yoga. They have a wide variety of classes, the teachers encourage you to do your best while encouraging you to love your body and listen to your body. They were knocked down to four stars because prices just went up and I felt that the prices before were fair when compared to other yoga studios in SE Michigan that I have been to. But I still pay to go so what does that tell you? read more

It has been almost 3 years since I graduated from the U of M school of social work and I have yet to find a yoga studio in Chicago that is as amazing as A2 Yoga. My favorite memories of grad school are the sweaty intense work outs I had at A2. I always sneak in a work out when I come back in town for games. Deanna's classes were by far my favorite. That girl knows how to make you work and love it. Go to A2- You won't regret it! read more

the physical layout is very well done. nice waiting area with brightly colored cushions. john was my vinyasa teacher and he was excellent. they offer your first class free, which is always a bonus. the parking lot sucks but there's plenty of street parking over there. if i ever have any money i will definitely go back! read more

I love getting facials from Jessica, she rents a room from A2 yoga. She does a great job with extraction and gives great massage. She knows the glymed and jane iredale products really well, and offers great consultation for skin care. read more

Beautiful studio and great teachers. I especially love the Ashtanga yoga on Saturdays and the Anusara with Heather on Sundays!

I am so happy I found this studio! A2 Yoga is amazing! All of the instructors and classes I've attended have been great. The facility is quiet, calming, clean and modern and has everything you could need - they lend out towels, yoga mats, blocks, etc. They offer a free 7 day trial, so it is definitely worth a try! read more

I agree with one of the previous posters that this place probably derverves 5 stars with the exception of a few things: - I also bought a package and was told it expired and couldn't use it after a short time. I ended up only using about 4 of the 10 classes that I paid for which was quite a waste of money and very disappointing. (I have noticed now they make the expire dates clear so I am assuming many people have complained.) - The other reason for 4 stars it that I never get the warm welcome feeling from the owner. She never says Hello, goodbye, etc. The few times I tried to chat with her I felt like I was really bothering her. But I don't go to her classes so in the end it is not that big of a deal. - The classes are probably on the average to high side. The other classes I take in Ann Arbor are $12 and the A2 classes are $15. - However, the yoga and teachers are AMAZING. I also highly recommend Heather too, but really every teacher has been great. Heather is one of the best teachers I have had in 5 years. The yoga is so good that I continue to drive 40 minutes to this place. - Lastly, the new studio is beautiful! read more

Despite the 3 stars I have really enjoyed the Yoga and NIA classes I have taken there. The instructors have been amazing and helpful. I love that they have so many classes to choose from everyday since my personal and work schedule fluctuates every week and going there is super convenient for me. The reason that there is only 3 stars is due to the fact one of the staff members at the front desk was completely out of line with me, arguing with me profusely over a $15 charge that had happened months ago. It went on and on. It was a basic money discrepancy. I believe that I had payed it, she didn't (although she wasn't even there that day). It took me having to have one foot out the door telling her she would lose me as a client forever if is she did not drop the charge and let me continue paying as normal. She finally went to go talk to the owner, whom I spoke with. She dropped the charges for me, but was extremely short and dismissive with me. Like I said, I love the classes, but the business end of the studio needs to be reevaluated on how they should handle money issues with clients, because that was just flat out wrong. read more

I have taken a few classes at this studio and each time I leave feeling disappointed. I have tried a couple different instructors to really give this place a fair chance. However, today's class was the last time I will ever attend A2 Yoga. My main complaints are that most instructors there seem egotistical (showboating, condecending). I also do not like or apperciate the fact that I pay $15 for a class and yet are asked to practice for 15 minutes on my own. I could stay home and do that for free. Further, I was offended with today's class suggesting I use my yoga to honor dead relatives. I am not sure I get the relevance of honoring dead relatives to yoga. Since I myself am a yoga instructor (out-of-state), I look forward to taking yoga classes to expand my knowledge, but this studio just continues to disappoint. read more
