I came here recently for a community class by a recent graduate of their yoga teaching course. The class was relaxing and easy to follow even for a beginner like me. This yoga studio is in East Grand Rapids where there is plentiful parking, either in Gaslight village shops, along the street or in the parking deck close by - and apparently they validate parking. The studio is warm and inviting with large windows on two walls. The people there were welcoming and I do plan to continue attending their community classes and will likely come for other yoga classes. read more

My local Zen getaway Great location in EGR with free parking lot. I love the decor with the Sanskrit on the walls, ambient lighting and little accents here and there, feels like I'm in India haha Great amenities too, cushions, blankets, straps, yoga blocks all free to use. They also sell really cool yoga clothes and great gifts from local artisans and have fun events. If you join their Facebook page you can get deals and discounts! Seva welcomes a diverse demographic and is not a "scene" like some yoga places, I have practiced with male, female, young, old, and sometimes they have had cats there, I was pregnant at the time and gave it a miss, but next time this crazy cat lady will go to one of those! Melissa, the owner, is an exceptional yogi, very warm and authentic in her practice which I don't find in many yoga places. She also gives back alot in the community from free classes on the Blue Bridge during the summer to partnering with many local vendors. What a nice person and role model :). Although, I mainly go to her classes, she also has a great yogi team who teach at Seva. In summary, I love Seva Yoga, and I think you will too. Be sure to try in out. Namaste. read more

I cannot compliment Melissa, and Seva Yoga enough. I brought 50 high school football players to a camp at Grand Valley. I was able to get in touch with Melissa a couple of weeks prior, and schedule a private yoga session with these boys for a Monday morning session. Melissa was great to work with during all of the planning, and even better that day during the session. She was energetic, yet not to the point of losing the peacefulness of a yoga session. She was the right amount of assertive and empathetic to the very sore teenage boys. I wouldn't doubt that some of these young men will seek out opportunities to practice yoga because of their experience with Melissa this morning. Thank you so much! read more

Wonderful yoga studio with kind, compassionate teachers! I've hit up other yoga studios in the area and while I won't name names, I realize that they weren't properly instructing me on poses or the risk of injury in doing poses incorrectly. It's Marro's slow-flow classes where I relearned the basics in poses and posture. Before Seva, Yoga was like an athletic and emotional challenge- how can contort myself into a crazy pose that the teacher is yelling out so I'm no embarrassed in front of my neighbor. Now, Seva - and especially Marro, - showed so much patience and kindness in training that I actually hit that Zen sweet spot and felt encouraged by the other people in the class. The studio is located in EGR in the round-about area where the fountain is. It has a fun store are in the front with Patagonia, Lululemon and a few other brands for sale. The studio itself is lovely and serene. Classes are smaller and usually have a diverse group of ages and skill levels. read more

Visiting from California, love this Gaslight Village yoga studio! I just did two Vinyasa classes here two days in a row (Sunday and Monday mornings). Both teachers were excellent -- Amy Rowland and Zoey VanDuren. They are highly knowledgeable, attentive and caring teachers, their sequences of poses were challenging yet healing for yogis of all levels and ages, and I left both classes feeling totally at peace, inspired and energized. The space is open, clean and serene, the lighting and music are thoughtful and relaxing, and the shop in the front of the store has a curated selection of yoga clothes and other goodies -- picked up a few nice things yesterday including an awesome, comfy pair of yoga pants I wore today. I can't wait to come back to Seva again in a couple months during the winter holidays when I'm visiting family again. Planning to come practice yoga here daily when I'm back! read more

Seva Yoga - A very peaceful space to practice yoga. Om Shanti! - Yoga Near Me - East Grand Rapids, Michigan

Seva is absolutely the place for zen, peace, and taking my yoga practice to the next level. The classes are lead by well trained and compassionate teachers and they offer a lot of variations so that classes are as challenging as you want them to be without the intimidation. LOVE Seva! read more

Seva Yoga has a wonderful tribe and makes everyone feel welcome. What a great studio!

Great experience. I love the community classes at random locations. I have a hot yoga membership, but I always go to these because they're fun and different. The teachers are very friendly and upbeat. They really want everyone to get as much out of each yoga class a small possible. read more

I enjoy the variety of classes, times and teaching styles. Every instructor that I have had has been excellent. I also really love the space and the special touches they have added recently of the warm towels, community outreach yoga events, Friday night yoga with music, etc. I am proud to call Seva my yoga home and each visit renews and re-energizes me. read more

Came one night with a friend. I could barely hear the teacher she spoke so soft. Low energy teacher, not very hands on. She was young and looked nice, only doing one or two poses. Her words were not very insightful, although she tried. I came away feeling that she was very inexperienced. Have been to much much better. Will try another place. Perhaps she needs seasoning. read more

Came to this studio during a trip to GR. Will definitely be back :-). The studio is great, clean, and welcoming. The teacher that led our class was experienced, friendly, and engaging. See you again soon! read more

Melissa is one of the most beautiful souled Yoga instructors I have ever had the pleasure of being instructed by. Her teaching is always gentle and never pushes a student beyond what they are comfortable with. She teaches students to trust their bodies and have a experience. I will continue to return as she is a wonderful Guru. read more

Love Seva. Very peaceful atmosphere with well trained instructors. Many options are given in all classes. No intimidation, lots of support.

I love Seva! The culture of this studio is warm and inclusive. The instructors are very knowledgeable and there are a variety of classes from which to choose. read more

This is a solid yoga studio with a variety of classes. Majority of teachers is really good and atmosphere is relaxed and warm. I have been going for years and have not been disappointed. read more

Modifications are offered during the classes. I don't like attending a class where everyone is doing the exact same thing at the exact same time and breathing in the exact same way. Challenging people to expand in their practice or scale back when needed, makes for a much more enjoyable yoga experience. Thank you! read more
