I truly look forward to coming to Ensoul's classes after a long day at work. I have only been a…read morecouple of times, and I'm so happy I've found a place I'm comfortable and at peace at. I am by no means an expert at yoga, far from it (ive been to about 10 classes in my life). The classes are challenging, and push yourself to be better and stronger with every class. I leave drenched in sweat and its so invigorating! Parking is a pain, but thats for any business located downtown.

My first class was great!…read more I had somehow turned off all of my Citizen Yoga email notifications, so I freaked out a little when I realized the class was starting in 10 minutes and I I didn't know how to access it because I never got the confirmation email. I tried calling the studio a few times but it went to voicemail. Luckily, I received an email from Shannon, informing the class that there were intermittent issues with Zoom and the software needed to be updated in order to access class. I replied to Shannons email about 5 minutes before class in a massive panic asking her if she could help me log into the class. I will admit, I wasn't as nice as I should have been in my email (sorry Shannon) but she was still helpful and nice! She helped me get into the class by sending a link and she also turned my notifications back on so that I will be able to access class in the future. Before the class began I was tired and dragging. It was a dreary day and I didn't know if I still felt up for the challenge! I hadn't done a yoga class in a while and I was very nervous that I wouldn't be able to keep up. The teacher was extremely helpful and had great energy. Even though my camera wasn't the best, she still helped me fix my form when she could and provided really easy to follow instruction. I left the class feeling aware and more awake, also feeling calmer than I was before the class started. I am definitely going to add Yoga to my routine! Thanks Citizen Yoga and Shannon for being so awesome!

I was a yoga newbie when I started at the studio at their longtime location in downtown Royal Oak…read moreover seven years ago, and was very excited when the studio moved to 13 & Rochester, gaining more space & their own parking lot. The space is really lovely, warm & welcoming, as are all the staff, front desk, owners, teachers & classmates.

I'm very happy with the instructors I've had & am constantly learning & challenging myself, which I really enjoy. Being part of this beautiful community of yogis means a lot to me & I've met some wonderful people here. Thank you, Namaste!

Second, I took a Hatha class and mentioned to the teacher that I just started Ashtanga yoga last year and the studio closed. She said very sarcastically "This is not Ashtanga yoga!"

I dropped in to Release for a yoga class with playful puppies lead by Emma!…read more The studio was modern, chic, and trendy. The space was decorated with cute quotes, plants, and motivational notes. Everyone had cubbies for their shoes and other belongings. Restrooms were available. We were all provided black yoga mats for the class. Puppy yoga was so much fun! The class was set up as half of the time dedicated to yoga and the other half dedicated to the pups. Emma, our instructor, was very friendly and lead us through various beginner friendly poses. The puppies for my class were chihuahua mixes. All of the puppies were adoptable. It felt nice knowing a part of the proceeds from my ticket went to the puppies!

My friend got me started on Yoga Basics. It's not necessarily an easy class but rather focuses on the right posture. As someone whose journey to Yoga started at bigger gyms this is really important to me. They take the time to explain the proper positions and if you are off they will tell you how to correct it. (After an IT injury, I've learned the importance of posture!). There are a several classes I haven't tried like Booty Bunz and gym sticks that people love. There is also tighten and tone that I like but totally kicks my butt. Zumba is fun and I recommend trying out different instructors because they all have their own take on things.
