I can't recommend this studio highly enough. I have tried multiple yoga studios around Ann Arbor before finding my home at Align Divine. The instructors here place a beautiful emphasis on mindfulness, spiritual practice, and self-exploration that is unique and rare. Carla, the owner, is inspiring and empowering. She will welcome you to the community with open arms, a smile, and a lot of wisdom. I can also recommend Kallie and Carter, who are both enormously knowledgeable and kind teachers. All of the classes that I've taken here are disability-friendly and body-positive. This is the only studio that I've encountered where the instructors actively encouragement students to check in with their bodies and skip a flow in favor of taking a restorative posture if that is what they are needing at the moment. There is no sense of competition or forcefulness in this space. Every class is accessible to the level at which you are able to practice, even if that is simply sitting and meditating while others flow around you. The instructors takes requests and listen what the students needs emotionally and physically. If you are looking to build a holistic practice and have a space to learn without being judged or pushed beyond your own edge, Align Divine is the place to be. We are so lucky to have access to these amazing teachers! read more

I'm pretty new to yoga. I've done some free classes in the UofM big house, a couple of the local ashtanga/vinyasa spots, some of the fitness yoga classes at CCRB and Lifetime fitness. None of those experiences compares to Align Divine. My first class was with a friend who invited me to go to the Sunday Elemental session, that is the class I would recommend if you want to check out the studio for the first time. It was more than just a workout, Carla and the other Instructors guide you in disconnecting from the world outside of that moment. As a science nerd and someone who doesn't give much thought to emotional and spiritual aspects of life, I lack the language to adequately describe the atmosphere. My best attempt is to say that there is a sort of meditative component to the practice, and an emphasis on mindfulness and intentionality. The intensity is very good, instructors offer multiple variations and seem to really adjust the class to the level of the people attending. After a few sessions I was hooked, and decided make Align divine part of my routine several days a week. It's been very good for both my mental and physical health. I highly recommend for anyone looking for a good fitness practice and more. read more

This is the best yoga in town, bar none. I used to see yoga as "just stretching" or maybe as a good workout or possibly as a type of retreat from life. Yoga at Align Divine is all of these things but it's more than that ... quite a bit more. It's healing, it's spiritual, and it's invigorating. Being there is a much deeper experience that I was used to at other yoga places. So much so that it's completely redefined for me what yoga actually is. read more

This studio has such a beautiful energy. Carla's warm smile and happy gentle energy draw you right in. Carla teaches from her heart and has such passion for body awareness and moving organically. I attended an Earth class with my daughter and just loved the flow starting with sacred space and keeping the whole practice internal. I felt amazing during the class and after. Highly recommend. read more

Align Divine beautiful studio downtown with incredible teachers! I feel a sense of depth and connection to the community and the sacred that I haven't experienced at other studios I've attended. The Cacao Ceremonies and ecstatic dances offered there have played an important role in my inner healing and developing my freedom of movement/expression. read more
