Stretch, Relax, Meditate & Get Strong With Yoga in Your Neighborhood

Yoga? Where? I’m THERE!

Yoga is a must for shaking off the stress, getting stronger, and just chilling out. Between the endless hours at the computer, behind the wheel, or hunched over my latest obsessions, it’s way too easy to forget to straighten up, stretch out, and just breathe.

The yoga scene in Grand Rapids rocks, with studios that vibe with every skill level and taste—many offering drop-in classes, too.

Classic yoga, hot yoga, modern yoga— we’ve found Grand Rapids yoga studios that offer something for every experience level and interest, including different methods, instruction styles, and class sizes.

Strike a pose and get ready to add more zen in your life. 

On the List:

Grand Rapids Yoga Studios with the Best Savasana

1: For that Hot, Humid, Ultra Bendy Experience

Where to find it: Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse

The Scoop: Formed in their Eastown location in 2010, Funky Buddha Yoga Hothouse is just that-HOT.

The rooms are kept at 95 degrees and can be warmer based on the number of people. This can be fabulous for our bitterly cold West Michigan winters, but even in the summertime, the elevated temperature allows for added flexibility. Classes are geared toward functional movement and science rather than yogic tradition. 

If you like getting your sweat on, hot yoga is for you! The power classes offer a good cardio workout, and the slow-flow classes will still get your blood pumping and sweat flowing. A towel and water bottle are recommended along with your yoga mat. Funky Buddha has several Grand Rapids locations, and the downtown studio has showers plus a refresh bar!

Multiple locations including Downtown GR, Eastown, Holland, and Cascade

2: Your Village

Where to find it: Mind Body Baby

The Scoop: Mind Body Baby is a Grand Rapids yoga and barre studio serving mothers and mothers in the making.

They offer fertility, prenatal, and postpartum yoga, baby + me yoga, and children’s yoga along with many family-focused events. Soon, they will move to their expanded location on Breton SE, where a co-working space and childcare will be part of the offerings for collective members.

Moms love stretching themselves literally and figuratively here. The community is that missing “village” so many mothers long for. This is definitely a place that uses yoga to build people up and support anyone in their motherhood era.

Current location: 1501 Lake Dr SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506

New location: 2422 Breton SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49506

3: A Hip Mega-Calorie Burn

Where to find it: Twisted Hot Yoga

The Scoop: A not-so-traditional studio, Twisted Hot Yoga, has several class options to get you sweating with Vinyasa and slower paced classes without the heat and humidity. Also offered is a class called “Flex” with kickin’ tunes and hand weights for added strength and sculpting. If you like hot yoga and want a huge calorie burn, this is the class to try.

Single Class: $30; 10-Class Pack: $185

Multiple locations including Knapp Corner, Caledonia and Grandville

4: Get Your Meditative Zen

Where to find it: AM Yoga 555 4th Street, Suite 200, Grand Rapids, 49504

The Scoop: How can you not love a place that was “created to help you discover who you are by removing what you aren’t?” This is AM Yoga.

One our favorite yoga classes in town is “Power and Meditation” as the class begins with power flow yoga and ends with 25 minutes of guided breathing practices and meditation. An excellent way to de-stress and clear the mind. For those wanting more, AM Yoga has longer format classes that span beyond the typical 60 min duration, too.

Single Class: $20; 11-Class Pack: $160

5: Wallet-Friendly Yoga in an Awesome Space

Where to find it: Kula Yoga 

Kula Yoga is that cozy yoga hideaway in Grand Rapids, perfect for cold days, or really, anytime you just want to feel right at home and be yourself.

Good class options that are fairly priced keep people coming back. Patient and welcoming, the instructors are gold, making the sessions feel genuine and grounded.

From the energy of Vinyasa to the calm of Candlelight Yin, almost everyone will find just the right blend to match their yoga vibe.

Single Class: $18; 10-Class Pack: $140

2 locations: 715 Wealthy St SE & 744 Leonard St NW – Grand Rapids
