I love love love Detroit Yoga Lab. All of the teachers are amazing and knowledgeable and wonderful. There is so much care in every class. The studio space is clean, full of natural light and inviting. I would never leave except I moved away from Detroit, I will miss it so much. read more

I was gifted a ticket to a day retreat held in this space. I was greeted upon entering by the staff in the reception area and told where to put my items. The studio was tranquil and serene. read more

This is one of the best yoga studios I've come across in a very long time. The class I just completed was absolutely wonderful. The instructor was great! The people at the front desk were very kind as well. The studio is a little small, so I definitely wouldn't suggest bringing a giant backpack and a gym bag. But there are hooks to hold your coats which is really nice. The studio space itself is gorgeous and warm and very comfortable to practice in. My only issue is the parking situation. I went to an early-ish morning class so I was able to get street parking, but by the time the next class was about to start, there were no spots for for miles it seemed like Definitely try this place out if you're looking for a new yoga studio. They're relatively expensive, but with the space and the great instructor I had, I personally think it's worth it. read more

This THE BEST yoga studio in the Metro Detroit area. Great teachers, excellent location and priced well. There are classes for all levels and excellent work shops and special events. read more

The studio is large, warm and clean! All of the classes at detroit yoga lab are unique and open to all levels. Their offerings like Yoga Teacher Training and Ayurveda courses distinguishes them apart from other studios in the area. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Bonus, the staff, teachers and community are very kind and welcoming! read more

Hurt myself during a session, then as "treatment" was recommended an additional seminar. Teachers may be sincere but they are also always trying to promote additional classes. Some of them are also inexperienced, no transition poses if you're not a 22-year-old yogi who got a certification last month. read more

Stumbled across this little studio while I was traveling. Due to Jacqueline M's review (thank you Jacqueline) i didn't book on-line. I went down to see it in person. There is a "new student special" that offers unlimited classes during a set amount of time but that special does not include mat rental. If you are traveling, ask for the traveler's special. It's a few bucks more expensive but if you take at least 3 classes you save money over the one at a time price. If you only have time for one class - the drop in class is your best price and if you are going to 2 classes (without your own mat) it's kind of a wash, the three different choices wind up about the same. As others noted, the room is heated - but not to a level of Bikram hot. Honestly until I read the other reviews I thought it was hot just because it is summer, lol. Whether you like hot yoga or not is a personal preference. I wouldn't add or subtract stars on a review for that even though in my own personal practice I like to work out at regular room temperature. I had fun at my classes. The teachers were friendly. The first class I took the teacher remembered my name after meeting me once (!) The second class I took the teacher was also nice. The students were pretty advanced. There must be some good teaching going on here! I recommend you give this place a try if you are in Detroit! read more

Received an email this stating that rooftop yoga was this evening instead of tonight at 830 am. Called to ask what time it was rescheduled for this evening and was told it was this morning at 11 and the email was sent in error. When I politely asked for a refund due to THEIR mistake I was told "we don't give refunds" and that I could send the owner a email but not speak directly to her . Well I'll do you guys one better and post my experience here. Don't book anything online with this place their customer service is atrocious and I'll be looking elsewhere for yoga in the city. I was looking forward to a cool experience and am now disappointment and out 20 bucks. read more

Detroit Yoga Lab - Yoga Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

See all

I've been going to Detroit Yoga Lab since shortly after I moved to Detroit. They offer an unpretentious, friendly space to practice yoga, whether you're a beginner (which I was) or can do that whole, you know, transcendental meditation, levitating with your mind kind of a thing (I cannot). Course schedule ensures access to early morning classes as well as afternoon and evening classes pretty much every day-- weekend scheduling is sparse and usually pretty full, but it is often possible to find comfortably small classes (some of the weekday evening classes have like 20 or 30 people which does not fit in the studio, so I try to find ones for mornings, during the day, or 4:15pm). Various types of yoga and a diversity in each instructor's own style, which is nice. They're a lot more chill and less dogmatic than some studios I've been to. I minus one star because I have been a bit frustrated with the lack of social community that is attached to this place-- it is all very much like, you go in, do your thing, and then leave, and if you want to go to a more socially themed yoga event, which they offer probably an average of one of per month in the form of a special workshop or something involving beer or yoga in an exotic location, you have to pay a bunch of money for it. Doesn't make any sense to charge people $80-100 a month and then have to pay, you know, $25 for a special workshop, or some of their multiple-day labs that are outrageously pricey (like sometimes many hundreds of dollars). I also was a bit irked when they upped their prices, but they assure me that this was necessary to cover the cost of their new heating system (okay). Anyway, it's a good spot. read more

I tried their new student special and was very happy with these classes! The studio itself is simple yet had everything you need. The teachers are friendly and the classes I took provided great instruction and helped guide me into more advanced poses than I usually practice. read more

Really lovely studio, with great teachers and positive energy. I've been practicing yoga for ten years and have sampled classes all throughout the metro-Detroit area. I love classes with Matthew or Naomi! One of the strongest perks of this studio is their reasonable rates (check out their student discount) and their MILDLY heated studio space. I like this as a nice alternative to Bikram yoga or other hot yoga studios in the metro Detroit area. You still get the benefits of the heat, but without as much sweat. Bikram and hot yoga studios are great, and definitely have their place - but this is a great space if you're just getting into yoga or need a break from the heat. During a typical class, teachers will walk you through a set of poses and sometimes give you a chance to go through a sequence "flow" on your own. I've practiced at other studios that go at a very fast, intense pace (which is great if you need that), but this studio seems to find a balance between effort and ease. I always feel like I can go at my own pace and focus on my own practice without the judgement or disgust of others. Great boutique of items to compliment your yoga practice (towels, apparel, etc) read more

In the COVID era, all studios have multiple modalities for taking classes (live stream, in person, recorded class). What makes DYL special is the amazing team of teachers and staff who bring light and love into the space each and every day. There are classes for any skill level and the teachers are always ready to answer questions and offer accommodations. read more

Overall a good yoga studio. Front desk staff are nice & welcoming. I've experienced a few disappointing classes, so I tend to only go to Naomi's classes now. One concern though- During the past few couple classes I've been to, students' body odor has been so distracting and unpleasant. I don't know if anything can be done by DYL as it's a touchy subject. Either way, it discourages me from going back to this yoga studio. read more

I went to a class with an instructor I had never met, and she immediately noticed I was new to her class, introduced herself, remembered my name, and chatted with me again after class. Such a warm, welcoming environment. My mat feels like "coming home," and this studio always feels like an extension of that feeling. read more

DYL used to be my favorite place to unwind and work on my practice. Teachers were friendly, although they do touch you to correct alignment. Hannah would ask people during the beginning of class to raise their hand if they weren't comfortable being touched which was very appreciated. I had a 6 mo membership here, which I enjoyed, but was unable to renew because it's relatively expensive. Payments came out on the 9th of each month through automatic payments. After my membership expired, I discovered that Detroit Yoga Lab continued to charge me for 3 extra months without even so much as a notification or a statement or an explanation. The reasoning was that I never came in person and signed a document acknowledging my membership expired. So they continued to charge me. The total amount was $300 for 3 months of yoga classes I never participated in nor was made aware of nor received a receipt from. The co-owner Jeff Gold refused reimbursement, his explanation being that because DYL is a small business, they are unable to give reimbursements as they need to give their staff a living wage. Jeff Gold refused to issue a reimbursement for charging me three additional months of a membership after it expired - totaling $300 - and never even provided a receipt. Detroit Yoga Lab was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. And I have absolutely shared this experience with all peers who have considered practicing here, to avoid memberships with DYL due to their autopay system without issuing receipts. I used to enjoy this studio and frequent it several times a week. I used to enjoy the culture and supporting this "small business." The owner, Jeff Gold, ruined that with his terrible customer service. I would never recommend anyone come to this studio, unless you're looking to be completely ripped off and - as the customer - made to feel belittled by an extremely combative owner. read more

This place is WON-DER-FUL! All the instructors are extremely nice, positive and welcoming. They walk around the class, and help with minor adjustments in your poses. Also, each instructors has an awesome unique play list that is nicely paired with the session. It was my first time trying yoga EVER and was super nervous for my first class, but everyone made me feel at ease and actually excited to try new things. I love that they genuinely care about their clients. Each weekend, I received a call checking up on me to see how I was enjoying the classes! They have the cutest little shop at the front of the studio for all your yoga needs and the environment is super warm and welcoming! Will be continuing my practices at Detroit Yoga Lab! Thanks so much for the great experience! read more

Reasonable prices, great playlists, and an overall good environment for beginners and experienced yogis alike. There is a nice variety of classes too, so you can mix it up from week to week. read more

I absolutely love this place. Such warm energy as soon as you enter the door. The teachers are very knowledgeable and well-trained. The studio is comfortable and welcoming. Great prices for a yoga studio! Naomi's (owner) classes are heavenly- she has so much body awareness. Her classes are a great balance of discipline and indulgence. Would recommend this place 100% to any new students and well-practiced yogis. read more

Naomi & co deserves six stars! This is where I first learned how to practise yoga. The instructions are clear and the teachers don't use too many of the Sanskrit terms to describe the poses, while making sure that you make the minor adjustments to get the most out of the poses. Perfect for beginners and seasoned practioners. The music doesn't overwhelm the instructions. The place is clean, bright and most of all, welcoming. You are not just a nameless face, new students are acknowledged and welcomed at the end of each class. Good selection of special activities in addition to the regularly scheduled classes too. This is my first choice for yoga classes in Detroit! read more
