The Ann Arbor School of Yoga is not just a place to practice poses; we are a specialized studio committed to providing a deep, authentic, and results-driven approach to yoga.

This commitment to lifelong learning and mastery is reflected in all our instructors, who are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about each student's progress and well-being. Our community is supportive and encouraging, creating an environment where you can feel confident to explore new poses and deepen your practice without judgment. We’re proud to be a local business that contributes to the well-being of the Michigan community, providing a peaceful retreat where people can work on themselves, surrounded by professional guidance and positive energy.
