Group Yoga Classes

The Yoga Room has been a quiet sanctuary for yoga practice since 2004. We offer mindfulness-based Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin yoga classes for adults of all ages and levels of experience. We take a unique approach with our weekly yoga classes by designing 2 to 4 month sessions around a speciﬁc theme for students who are looking for a more in-depth, enriching yoga experience. Our yoga classes are intentionally small -- a maximum of 7 students -- so that each student receives the attention they deserve.

Current Session

Spring Cleaning, Core & More

March 9 - June 27, 2020

In the first half of this 4-month session we will shake off the winter blues by doing some yogic spring cleaning sequences for our immune system, lymphatic system, digestion and more. Then we will power up our yoga poses in the second half of the session by exploring all the muscles that make up a strong core--strengthening what is weak, improving posture, relieving back pain and achieving better balance.

This session is already underway. If you're not registered, join us on a drop-in basis ($20/class).

Upcoming Session

Summer Session

Details coming soon!

HATHA

Great for beginners and those wanting a more mellow practice.

Gradually increase strength and ﬂexibility while relieving stress and tension. AM Hatha: A more energizing class to help wake you up and set a positive tone for your day. PM Hatha: A calming, slower-paced class to help you unwind at the end of your day.

VINYASA

Best for students in good physical condition or with prior yoga experience.

Ann Arbor's Original Vinyasa! This alignment-enhanced style of Vinyasa offers a practice that is fluid and fun, but at the same time safe and sustainable. Increase your strength, flexibility and memory in this heat-building style by learning the sequence and then flowing on your own!

YIN

Good for all levels, especially those wanting a great stretch.

Yin Yoga has been coined the "quiet practice". A variety of leg, hip, back and shoulder stretches are held for 3-5 minutes in an attempt to go deep into the muscles and connective tissue of the body. Use breath and awareness as tools to cultivate mindfulness and deep relaxation.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

I have been practicing yoga with Christy for over 13 years and I can say that I have learned more about yoga and grown more as a human in that time period than I ever would have imagined.

Jessie C.

Christy's attention to mindfulness is something I particularly appreciate and her style that incorporates teaching students about yoga principles in practice reinforces the instruction.

Kellie M. R.

I love the personal attention and Christy's teaching style, which recognizes that everyone comes to class with a different intention. Oh, and the studio is GORGEOUS.

Sadie W.

Thanks to [Christy], I've become stronger, more flexible, and more mindful, both on and off the mat. Christy is kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. She challenges me to deepen my practice, but only at my own pace.

Kelly R.

Of all the yoga teachers I’ve had, I’ve found your approach to be the most supportive and have recommended you to several friends, who now happily take your classes as well.

Stephen N.

I have been taking Christy’s classes for 12 years now and haven’t missed a session. I feel invigorated and whole when I leave Vinyasa or any class!

Jen W.

Christy’s new studio is incredibly warm and inviting. The small class sizes always make it feel more intimate and personalized. I couldn’t recommend this studio more!

Tim W.

For me, your classes help me to curb my anxiety, charge my battery, think clearly, react appropriately, be courageous without being rude or offensive, and strengthen my muscles.

Lori B.

Christy’s “Yoga Room” is unique and genuine. Classes are small and the environment supportive and welcoming. It is indeed a quiet refuge. [Christy’s] teaching style is informative and accommodating.

Dave R.

[Christy] is simply a lovely person, a qualified instructor and a centering influence on the mat. This is a special place. And I feel special when I am there.

Andrea B.

I went to The Yoga Room for five years before moving and I can say, hands down, it’s the best yoga studio I’ve ever had the privilege to Vinyasa at!

Megan A.

[Christy] makes you feel comfortable no matter your ability or skill level. The hour I am doing yoga, I feel like I am far away from everything. I leave in a better state of mind.
