Are you new to yoga? New to this studio? Here are some suggestions to make sure you pick the class right for you!
1) Bring a water bottle to the studio. The studio is heated.
2) Bring a mat. If you don't have one, we have a few extras for students to borrow.
What type of class are you looking for?
If you want something slow...
We suggest the Yin/Restorative Yoga class (Wednesdays from 7-8pm), the Donation Yoga (Sundays from 10-11am), or the Back to Basics (Hatha) Yoga (Sundays from 12:30-1:30pm). The Wednesday classes have low lighting and are heated around 80 degrees. The Sunday morning class moves slowly with flow and holding postures. It is heated to around 80 degrees. The Sunday afternoon class is slower, but still challenging, and gives an explanation of yoga and the postures. This class is heated between 80-90 degrees.
If you want something faster paced and/or more challenging...
We suggest the Donation YinYasa Yoga class (Saturdays from 11am-12pm), or Tuesday or Thursday Hot Yoga classes (5:45-6:45pm). The Donation YinYasa Yoga class is heated around 80-90 degrees, and alternates between slow yin postures, and faster vinyasa to create internal heat/raise the heart rate. The Tuesday and Thursday classes are heated around 90-95 degrees, and are a combination of holding postures (Hatha and Yin), and flow (Vinyasa). These classes begin with low lighting and sometimes the lights are turned off for part of the class (so that you can focus on the postures and yourself without having the distractions of your sight).
If you want something unlike anything you've done before...
We offer a Suspension-Extension Coyopa Yoga class. This class, unique to Ann Arbor, Michigan (and possibly the world!), uses cables similar to TRX to get into yoga postures. This class is a challenging class, but works the muscles that other yoga do not always get to. It can be easier to balance and hold certain postures that are difficult in regular yoga because of the straps. However, it also works on the tighter and weaker muscles first. Your first several classes, you will probably be sore, but if you keep coming back, you will see great results!
