Yoga in East Lansing

“I recommend everyone to give this practice a try, and if you are able to at Yoga is Medicine, even better.

I was able to practice at Yoga is Medicine for about a year before I moved away, and it will be one of the things I miss most about the East Lansing and Lansing area. It was one of the most informative experiences I have had over my mind and body. I learned something valuable during each class, even if it was simply improving stillness or my breathing by just a smidge, or learning when I need to rest more. The continuation of doing the 26+2 Bikram format allowed me to notice the struggles and improvements class-to-class (which were not always linear!). Being in the hot room was extremely meditative to me, as was the focus of practicing the Bikram poses.

The studio is a very welcoming place, with all of the instructors being friendly and incredibly dedicated to the practice of Bikram Yoga. The facilities themselves are always spectacular and tidy. There are people of ALL skill levels practicing at any given time. I was always encouraged to listen to body cues and all instructors were helpful and open to discussion if you needed clarification on anything. Ann, the lead instructor at this studio, is particularly in tune with the practice, but also the physiology behind it.

There are also frequently yoga challenges and encouragement to participate in, which are motivating, foster a deeper sense of community in the studio, and are fun!

I'd encourage anyone to try out Yoga is Medicine, it's a phenomenal experience.“

“Best of the best. Love hot yoga. Love the teachers. Love everything about this place.“

“I went on an adventure yoga retreat in Guatemala hosted by Jen and Payton, and it was honestly one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. They put so much care into planning everything and it showed. The excursions were amazing —riding ATVs through the mountains was a blast, paragliding was absolutely surreal, and the sunrise volcano hike was something I’ll remember forever.

Our lodging was comfortable and in beautiful locations. The whole week felt really well thought out, but still relaxed and fun. Jen and Payton created such a welcoming vibe, and you could tell they wanted everyone to have a great experience.

If you’re thinking about joining one of their retreats, I can’t recommend it enough. It was the perfect mix of adventure, good people, and meaningful yoga.“
