Yoga near Utica

“Great staff! Great service! Dr Keith has helped improve my back and neck pain tremendously!“

“THE BEST HIDDEN GEM MASSAGE THERAPY CENTER IN OAKLAND COUNTY!!!

I can't express in words fully how much I love this place and their therapists. Rebecca has done an amazing job with selecting her team. Vincent has magical hands. His ability to target large muscle groups and hold pressure on traumatized muscles and tendons should be illegal, but I am happy it is not. If you're an athlete, THIS IS YOUR MAN! Professional, accommodating, knowledgeable and truly listens to what your body needs.“

“The yoga instructors are well educated and passionate about the traditional yogic approach with a modern spin. I like the classes that are more mindfully focused (typically I practice under Kelsey and Brian), that being said I'm always shown beginner, intermediate and experienced variations of postures so I can customize my experience. The space is welcoming and the instructors push you to learn and experience yoga in a safe and secure environment. I always recommend Red Lotus to new and experienced people practicing yoga. ?‍♀️“

“Best hot yoga studio I ve been in, instructor explains the process and benefits while practicing!“

“Hippie Yoga Studio offers a peace for mind, body, and spirit. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance transports you to a place of peace and tranquility. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, guiding you through each pose with gentle encouragement.“

“I started with the 10 day for $10 beginners package and tried a variety of classes, then I signed back in for another month. I'm an older woman and a true beginner - zero flexibility and terrible balance. In just 2 weeks my balance began to improve. The flexibility is going to take a little longer but I know it will come. I enjoy the peacefulness of yoga and the participants are really nice, non-judgmental and very supportive. In the studio, there are no expectations. The level you are at is the level you are at. I like that I can progress at my own rate and am not intimidated. So far, the only instructor I've had is Patty. She's great and makes very gentle corrections. If you're thinking about yoga but worried about being intimidated by a room full of perfect people doing perfect poses - try the beginning classes at Strongheart - whatever level you are at is acceptable and you won't be disappointed.“

“I have nothing but positive things to say about this yoga studio! I tried the restorative yoga class and absolutely loved it. I was nervous to try it since it was my first time and I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I left feeling centered, grounded, and ready to take on life. I’ve experienced a lot of trauma this past year and really felt like this class helped me feel more comfortable and at peace with myself. I look forward to coming to more classes in the future and am so happy I found something I feel like I belong at!“

“Very relaxing experience! Lana was very professional and made sure I was doing good throughout the whole massage being that I am 30 weeks pregnant! Highly recommend!“

“Went to them after a car accident and they’ve helped me get rid of my pain? Great service with amazing staff!“

“Booked a 60 min couples massage. The studio was great, had a nice smell. My massage was done by uni. She was absolutely amazing. She made My first massage ever a great experience.

My fiancé massage on the other hand was terrible. The women who was working on him was scratching his back and when he told her she let out a big sigh like she was annoyed with the feedback and stated “I’m barely even touching you” and after rubbing down his arms or legs he said she would just drop them like she didn’t even care. He stated she put the oil directly on his body instead of her hands. She spent too much time on his hands and neck. His massage was the worst and you could tell the women didn’t want to be there and showed no passion. She needs to be retrained on care and compassion with this line of work.“

“I’ve been practicing here for almost 12 years (on and off due to moving and life) and no place is cleaner, kinder, and more inviting than Thrive. Every single instructor is so incredibly patient and the atmosphere is always relaxing and invigorating at the same time. I recommend them to everyone and look forward to many more years of practice at Thrive!“

“Welcoming community for all skill levels with a great variety & wonderful instructors. Have been happy with every class I have attended!!! My favorite class is the Somatic Yoga one on Tuesdays!!!!“

“Brenna is amazing!!!!! I have had plenty of facials and massage and she is the best. Brenna has a peaceful calming energy about her and is very sweet. Thank you Brenna for making me feel healthy and healing my aches and pains. Janet Eagan“

“People of any ability level will enjoy the class. Jessica is aware and responsive in guiding the exercises. For each move, she provides a harder and easier way to achieve the goal of the exercise. The environment is relaxed, and people are friendly. Big fan, love this place!“

“This is the best yoga studio around. Very welcoming. Extremely knowledgeable teachers. Their focus and wisdom on anatomy is top notch. So glad I found Explore Yoga!“

“I highly recommend the Center for Iyengar Yoga for all who have an interest in connecting body, mind and breath to serve your well-being. Under the instruction of the Center Director, Christopher Briney, everyone can learn to make these vital connections within. No matter your age, perceived physical limitations, Chris will work with you and meet you where you are on your yoga journey. Whether you are a beginner, new to the Iyengar method or advanced and looking to deepen your practice, this is the studio for you. The sessions are like semesters which are great for development of your practice. Drop-in classes are also available for those wanting to give it a try. There is much value in having a teacher who is also a continuing student. The Center Director continues to take classes from Prashant Iyengar and the value is passed on to those fortunate enough to study at The Center for Iyengar Yoga Royal Oak. Classes are also available online. In person classes offer the additional benefit of all necessary equipment being provided including mats. The studio is beautiful and clean. The teaching includes philosophy of yoga and personalized attention to detail as the Director takes the time to get to know you and any physical limitations that may require alternative pose options. Classes at The Center for Iyengar Yoga Royal Oak have a positive health impact that goes beyond the physical.“

“I recently attended a hot yoga class led by Jake at the Rochester studio, and it was a wonderful experience! Jake's guidance was both calming and motivating, the session was enjoyable and challenging at the same time. He offered space for variation and was encouraging. The studio itself had a welcoming atmosphere and the woman at the front desk was attentive and kind. I left feeling refreshed and excited to return for more sessions. Highly recommend giving Jake's class a try for anyone looking to deepen their yoga practice“

“Lots of variety, friendly staff, and convenient location ( we'll see how that new hotel affects us)“

“This gym is amazing. Easy to book classes and helps me stay consistent with the monthly challenges they do.“

“I’ve been going to life yoga for about 3 months now. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly from the moment I walk in. The classes are challenging and the instructors push and encourage you in every way possible. My favorite part about coming to this studio is that almost every class I’ve been to, they teach, step by step, a new position or the correct way to do a position I didn’t realize I was doing incorrect. I also appreciate that the instructors walk around the room and gently correct my poses when they see them being done incorrectly. I feel it’s so important to get the most out of each pose, to not injure myself, but also have fun with learning more. Watching myself or other students do an advanced pose for the first time because the instructor simplified how it’s supposed to be done is so exciting and gratifying. I appreciate that they do that because most studios don’t. Before I came there I was at a studio that I didn’t feel was challenging me or I wasn’t learning how to further my practice and knowledge. At life yoga, I get that every time I go. I’ve been going 3 days a week and I already feel stronger, more knowledgeable and excited each time I go. People ask how I stay motivated to work out when I have 3 small kids and work full time. I tell them the people and practices at life yoga make it feel like I’m taking a break from my busy life, not just doing a boring, repetitive workout. We laugh, play, dance and sometimes sing all while sweating and flowing. Thank you life yoga for giving me that much needed escape.“

“Citizen Yoga and its staff are excellent! The studio has a great atmosphere, and I’ve really enjoyed all of the classes I’ve taken there. I’ve attended classes with live music and practices other than yoga which were all great, but my routine class is Melissa Wagasy’s Sunday morning Blend.This wonderful class eases into a flow that builds heat, followed by a slow down. Melissa has built a variety of playlists that are a perfect companion to the pace of the class. I find myself looking forward to those challenging, yet rewarding 75 minutes all week long. I really enjoy her as an instructor and plan to continue to take her classes as I develop my practice.“

“I’ve been doing Pilates here for the past two years on the advice of my back doctor. It has really strengthened my core as well as all other muscle groups too! My back is so much better and my balance has improved immensely. I’m able to get up and down off the floor when spending time with my grandkids and that’s the real bonus of doing Pilates with this great group of women.“

“The teachers at this studio are great.You will easily find a class to meet your needs -- with big benefits and no regrets! Highly recommend. ?“

“Alternative to our preferred LA Fitness on VanDyke after they closed. A bit more compact. Not as many free weights in the training area.“
