Yoga Studio

The Yoga Studio, Grand Rapids' first yoga establishment, was created in 1979 by Carolyn Heines as a vehicle for her teaching. Since then, the studio has outgrown several Grand Rapids locations, and is now located in the vibrant East Hill neighborhood at 955 Cherry SE. The studio is housed in a historic building, a storefront which features hardwood floors, the original brick walls, a tin ceiling and lots of natural light. There is free convenient parking on the street.

The present studio boasts a team of seven seasoned instructors including co-owners Carolyn and Kat. Our teachers study in the Iyengar system of hatha yoga and provide expertise and a supportive environment in which students can enhance their well-being. Our teachers don't simply lead classes, they provide detailed instruction on HOW to practice and can provide modifications and alternatives that make yoga accessible to students of all abilities. Class sizes are small so all students receive individual attention and guidance. In addition, the philosophy of yoga permeates the teaching, encouraging students in self-knowledge.
