They offer a wide variety of classes, and there's definitely something for everyone. The descriptions of each class are all on the website, but Healthy Backs and Cool Flow are very gentle classes suitable for beginners, and Slow Burn and Hot Vinyasa are a little more challenging plus there's Ashtanga and Yin, but I think the great thing about them is that everyone could get something out of any of them. It's a very supportive and friendly environment, the garden outside the windows is peaceful and beautiful, and it's just lovely. I highly, highly, highly recommend going here. I have been for about a year and I've noticed so many positive changes in my mind and body and look forward to continuing my practice with Empower!

Having just traveled away from the Detroit area for a few days, and having done yoga elsewhere, I…read morereturn to Northville Yoga with gratitude, not just for the lovely, spacious facility, but especially for the wisdom and patience of the highly qualified instructors who grace us with their classes. On some weeks, I make it to Northville Yoga 5 times, usually 4, per week, and can recommend this center as an alternative to the heat enduced experience at certain locales, and also to the hip-hop and contemporary rock sound track that now permeates many studios. The yoga practiced here is hatha, usually quite manageable for beginners and intermediate practitioners. There is truly no pressure and no judgement in these classes, and I could not imagine a better place to begin to practice yoga.

I bought a package for my prenatal yoga classes and recently inquired about the 2 remaining classes…read moreI had left. Yes, it had been 2 years ago, but when I bought them I was told they did not have an expiration date, otherwise I would have bought a smaller package since I was in the last trimester of my pregnancy. Instead, the owner informed me that the 2 classes I had purchased would not be honored (i guess they magically expired), and then she immediately tried to sell me a new package! Wow. I WAS going to buy another package after I used my 2 classes I had left, but why would I want to give more money to a place that didn't even give me what I paid for last time? Please. I will be going somewhere else, thank you. Also of worth to mention, I disliked how when I brought my sister (who had never done yoga before) with me one of the times for a drop-in class, she was not even allowed to try it free. Every reputable yoga center (and I've been to several in the ann arbor and detroit area) at least lets you try your first class for free. It's called customer service.

My first trip here was a spontaneous 2 hour Yin Meditation class held on February 28th that I found…read moreon Facebook. I learned that the instructor, Kelli, "floats" and teaches at various yoga centers. I was absolutely blown away by this class, by Kelli, and how welcoming/warm/amazing this studio felt. Since then, I have signed up for the newcomer Yoga Shala package - 30 day for $39 and have been to 3 classes at the Yoga Shala Heights location. I did learn that they have opened a sister studio right by me in West Dearborn on Mich Ave, but I have not been to this location yet. I have tried both Yoga basics and Candelight Yin classes, and will continue to try classes as they have so many different styles - and so many instructors from all over that come to teach, in addition to the regular instructors that teach here. I will be a regular at Yoga Shala, as I incorporate Yoga into my daily routine and will try to visit the studio 2x a week. My happy place.... Yoga Shala you feel like heaven when I walk in, get comfortable, and practice... and you feel like heaven even more-so when I leave. The hardest part is driving home! I am so glad I found you, Yoga Shala. My heart is so heavy.

Very welcoming, calm environment. The owners are the same. Classes range from basic to advanced. Some retail available for clothing, essential oils, and props.

For me, it was to re-start my yoga practice and to find answer to several body issues. With Ema's years of experience and training she was able to guide me to those answers. I feel I'll be able to keep up my practice. As a very active 79 year old female, I understand body flexibility and mediations are key to the life I hope to keep living for many years. Thanks, Ema. The location of the retreat was a wonderful bonus. We were made to feel welcome into another culture and practice.

The Vivekananda Retreat Center in Fennville, Michigan is quaint and quiet. The food that Ema lovingly prepares is both healthy and delicious. Stroll some of the 110 scenic, wooded acres of the retreat center. Go for a refreshing swim in Lake Michigan and watch the sunset every day (only an 8 minute drive from the retreat center). Both times, I have gone and taken in all that this retreat has to offer, and both times, I have left a better, rejuvenated, lighter version of myself!

I found PureFit on Yelp and it seemed like an easy class to visit. So true! The instructor/owner Emily immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. The class was perfect, just challenging enough and fun. I wasn't sure about the space--it's in a church--but there's a good, open feel as soon as you walk in and the space where the class is held is spacious. Emily uses the mic well so you can easily hear but it isn't loud. The cost is very reasonable. If we lived in the area I would be a regular at PureFit Yoga and Pilates.

I have been doing yoga for years and after taking classes at PureFit I can feel my form improving in new ways. I am new to Pilates and I can tell it is really helping me tone up. The classes are held in a large open airy room in a church but I feel like I am in a studio. I especially like the evening classes during the winter because they are all taught by candlelight. This is by far the most affordable yoga and Pilates studio I have found. I appreciate the reasonable prices and the friendly atmosphere.
