The Lab

Detroit Yoga Lab is not a stage for perfect poses — it’s an experiment in real-life yoga. A refuge for people healing through lived experience, not performance. We offer yoga, pilates, breathwork, somatics, and movement practices rooted in philosophy, nervous-system support, and a quiet rebellion against performative wellness.

We teach yoga like your life depends on it… because sometimes it does. We meet people in the depths and help them rise — not by bypassing the hard parts, but by honoring them. Breath by breath. Body by body. We don’t fit people into shapes — we meet bodies where they are, adapting the practice to serve the person, not the pose.

Our community is for the seekers, skeptics, survivors, artists, and feelers — the “land of the misfit toys.” Many of our teachers bring trauma-sensitive training; all offer choice-based, invitational cueing so you remain in charge of your body.

And as the first studio in Detroit to offer infrared-heated classes, we’re expanding what a healing space can feel like: cleaner heat, softer on joints, deeper for muscles, supportive for your nervous system. Hot or unheated, every class is built to help you slow down, feel more, and remember who you are.
