I love Tiny Buddha. My favorite location is Pauline. When I practice at Tiny Buddha there is always a positive vibe and great energy. The classes are challenging and always incurage good form! I recommend Tiny Buddha to eveyone. Alex, Sylvie and Brenica are my favorite instructors! read more

TBY Is a great studio! It's such a wonderful community of teachers and practitioners. I was relatively new to yoga when I started here and felt welcomed and accepted where I was in my practice. TBY has a really nice variety of classes, something for every mood. I learned Ashtanga yoga here and the practice and community has really improved my quality of life! read more

Best studio in Ann Arbor by far! The teachers are all incredible and have their own techniques built within a similar style of yoga that the studio aims to foster. Each location has it's own charm, so it's fun to try out different classes with different teachers in the different studio locations to see what fits your fancy best. Risa, the owner, is very outgoing and does a tremendous job of making a point to have a personal relationship with all of her students. I have discovered a love for yoga and an entire supportive community at TBY, it doesn't get any better than this. read more

TBY is an amazing place - the variety of class styles and teachers have a way of giving me exactly what I need, when I need it. The teachers are all friendly, welcoming, and certainly not afraid to push you hard. Led Ashtanga is the best, with a nice hot vin/blend vin mixed in here and there for some added flavor. Check this place out, you won't regret it. Bring your sweat towel. read more

You should not pass up the opportunity to practice here!! Both complete beginners and advanced practitioners - this is special place. TBY is the single best yoga studio I have ever been to (after practicing in places with highly developed yoga communities including Boulder, Denver, San Francisco, New York, Seattle) and the best in the region. Frankly, this studio has ruined all others for me- both because of the quality of instruction and the depth of the community. Risa the studio's owner is incredibly knowledgable and truly committed to her student's learning, no matter the level. She will push you physically and mentally, without ever pressuring you to a point beyond what is safe or ok for your body. Going to this studio has helped me build my *own* yoga practice, something I didn't even aspire to at other studios where I was really more of a passive participant. It helped me develop an awareness of my body and mind and helped me to become physically and mentally stronger. Both the lessons I've learned here and the classes I go to have gotten me through incredibly grueling times and every minute and penny I have spent year has payed back dividends by the thousands. read more

Warm and inviting space. Great variety of classes with lovely & talented teachers. Super convenient locations. Highly recommend.

Favorite yoga studio in Ann Arbor! I have attended several yoga studios in Ann Arbor and wanted to try out TBY. I bought a groupon to try it out and then after using up the classes, promptly bought a 20-class package. I had taken classes with some of the instructors who teach there, at a different studio in town, but love this space so much more. It's more dedicated to the practice and I love that about it. It's hard to pick a favorite class, but I love Dominique's hot vinyasa class on Tuesday nights. She's an incredible instructor and I've been practicing with her for almost 3 years. But the other instructors are just wonderful! If you take Risa's class you're in for some awesome upbeat music while you flow, and she will make you S W E A T! The same can be said for Carryn's vinyasa class as well. I loved attending Kate's Vinyasa Blend class which is super fun and you always end up dancing a little. Bottom line: if you like yoga, want something challenging with your practice and want to be around some truly amazing people, come here! Parking can be tricky at the Pauline location since it's a very small lot, but I park on one of the side streets near a friends home and walk down. It's not too bad. Prices can also seem high, but pretty fair compared to most yoga studios across the country. I would absolutely recommend people to buy a Groupon to try it out first! read more

Tiny Buddha has been my favorite studio in the area for a few years now. The variety of classes and teachers always allows me to find just what I need in my practice. I can go from a crazy hot vinyasa to a mellow slow burn or Vin and always feel like I've had a good class. All of the instructors are all so genuine and supportive of the students too. The Tiny Buddha community is one of a kind for sure! read more

Absolutely love this studio, I've been going here for years. Highly recommend Maureen's classes!

Favorite studio in Ann Arbor. I was a student for four years at U of M and have been attending other studios throughout my college career. After Tiny Buddha opened at the Campus location during my last year, I was so happy that I found the perfect yoga studio for me, yet bummed that it didn't exist sooner! Unlike other studios downtown that I've been to, Tiny Buddha has a great offering of different teachers and styles. If you're looking for a sweaty and fun workout, go to Risa, Dominique, and Carryn. Kate and Chelsea are more alignment focused and guide the entire class. They're perfect for beginners, yet they still give more experienced yogis opportunities to play around and learn more postures. Vivianne teaches an awesome yin class. Teachers are knowledgeable and really care about their students. Tiny Buddha was where I first found out how to properly do Chaturangas (after 3 years of practice!), and teachers individually help you make different poses work for your body. My yoga practice has truly grown since I've started going here. read more

Literally my safe haven! Risa and all of the instructors are so well versed and the two studios offer a great diversity of classes. I don't know what I'd do without this yoga community and I highly recommend it for any and all levels! read more

While the classes are usually enjoyable, I know many people (myself included) who have had terrible customer service experiences. In one instance they refused to honor the cash value of an expired Groupon voucher. Another time, on the final day of a class package they said the package expired that day (day number 30, counting the day it was purchased as day number one) and a class couldn't be scheduled. When questioning why the package that was "good for 30 days" was really only good for 29, the person at the front desk said the client could only go into the class, since they were already there, if they planned on purchasing another package. I understand you can't be loosey goosey with policies. It's a business - they need to make money! But when multiple employees say they have a lot of issues with customers not understanding the fine print of Groupons and class packages, but then still following that fine print to a T, it makes people feel like they are being knowingly taken advantage of, and that that couple bucks in the moment is more important than the long-lasting client/business relationship. Not honoring the cash value of a Groupon though is either blatantly scamming the customer, or a lack of comprehension regarding that fine print the customers are expected to thoroughly understand. I do hope they can resolve their customer service issues, because most of the teachers are lovely and give great guidance. read more

It's hard to review yoga studios because it's so subjective to what kind of class you're looking for... I've been two two different types of classes at Tiny Buddha and felt differently after each. The hot vinyasa class was very challenging, definitely not for a beginner student, unfortunately that is one of the only classes available for me since I work during the day. I'd recommend starting with the Slow Burn class if you're new to yoga. Location is great for people on the west side of town; however, parking is an issue. Yes it is free (awesome!) but spaces are limited and there can be a bit of a jam-up when one class lets out and another begins. I'd recommend parking on a side street and walking over. The practice space itself is great, not too big, and I've never felt on top of the person next to me. I wish the foyer was bigger, there are no lockers, no shower, etc... It's "Tiny" (I see what they did there). 3 stars mostly for the stress I get from trying to find parking and always feeling squished while I try and arrive/leave. read more

I found Tiny Buddha to be a great little studio! I attended Kayleigh's slow burn class and found her to hold excellent space. She queued self-awareness and breath, without being pushy. Her flow was sane but full of opportunities for students to challenge themselves. I look forward to enjoying her classes, as well as others, again soon! As a side note, I, for one, really appreciate opening and/or closing om's. Joining voices has long been one of my favorite parts of yoga classes. Ahhhh-ohhhhhh-mmmmmm. :) read more

I started yoga just a few months ago and was quickly hooked. Until last week, Tiny Buddha was the only studio I'd ever been to. Then I went to two different studios in another city while traveling and learned how spoiled I've been at TBY. The teachers at Tiny Buddha bring different temperaments and styles into the room, but they are all supportive, helpful, and thoughtful when it comes to constructing a flow and guiding a class through it. I find that each of them is consistently able to guide me through a satisfying, gratifying practice (usually involving a good deal of sweat and hard work along the way). I feel like I've been able to learn quickly because I've gotten such good guidance and because Risa, Rachel, Sylvie, and the other instructors create a culture that is conducive to growth. read more

FINALLLLLYYYYYY I have re-started my yoga practice after a 3 year hiatus at this super-cute studio that is literally at the end of my street! I love it! I was a little skeptical at first to try a heated class, but now I'm hooked! So far, every instructor I've had has been so kind, helpful and welcoming. I love how classes are full, but not SO full that you're bumping into your neighbor (hate that). The slow flow class is my favorite (I totally wish they had more weekend evening classes available for that one). The Blend Vinyasa is fun, you get to practice more advanced stuff in this class (like handstands and crow pose, etc), and the Hot Vinyasa is super challenging but I'm sure once I get more practice in I'll be attending plenty more. The only thing I wish was different was that classes were guided a little more - for some reason it's hard for me to memorize the flows and I end up looking like a goon (this is when the super helpful instructors come in and save the day) - haha. Overall, love it. Worth every dollar. I'm a Tiny Buddha fan for life! read more

Awesome addition to the exciting Ypsi scene! Beautiful studio, great instructor, nice selection of classes and times, and adjacent to Babo where you can take something healthy home after you've treated your body to a yoga class. read more

By far my favorite Ann Arbor yoga studio. Great instructors, lovely environment, friendly community

No shower after hot yoga is not only unpleasant but also made me to catch cold. I don't how others can put a coat on a sweaty body and go home in the middle of the winter. read more

My favorite studio I've been to in Ann Arbor. They cater the classes based on if beginners or more advanced people are there and everyone feels welcome. For the first time in my practice, teachers came over to me and helped me to improve my basic poses. As a beginner/ish, this was really helpful and I told them I appreciated it. The teachers make an effort to learn your name and the space is great. For my last class I went to the smaller studio on Pauline rather than the campus location, which was very nice. We had more room to ourselves and the space feels intimate, almost like a little temple. All the class content I experienced was great, Chelsea and Risa were awesome. Thanks much T-Buddha! read more

All the classes are hot (sometimes feels like bikram) and there are no basic or beginner classes. I really liked some of the teachers, but more often than not the teachers there were contradictory-- I hate when yoga teachers tell you to be mindful and not to push yourself but then yell and scream at you to challenge yourself. I had such high hopes- particularly because it is a smaller studio. It has been hard finding a yoga class in A2 without overly intense music and drill sergeants for teachers. read more

I can not give Tiny Buddha Yoga enough praise. Every single class leaves me feeling refreshed, relaxed, open, and ready to take on the world. Risa is a beautiful instructor who takes great care in creating an atmosphere of energy, challenge, and insight - letting you find your own edge and flow. I seriously love everything about TBY. read more

I have never written a review, but I went to the best yoga class of my life today at Tiny Buddha Yoga...so I had to share! Risa is amazing teacher. Challenging for the experienced, but supportive and patient with the beginner. I've been teaching for 4 years and I was able to learn quite a bit from Risa in one 60 minute practice. And we all had fun and laughed a little, while still being spiritual and getting a great workout. You won't be disappointed!!! Advanced and beginner, Tiny Buddha is for everyone. read more

Wonderful instructors and beautiful space. I'm always amazed and satisfied by the classes that I've taken there.

What an amazing studio! I love it. The atmosphere is so friendly and personable, which matches the coziness of the neighborhood-surrounded Westside location. There's a great emphasis on breathing and mindfulness in the classes I've taken, and a nice balance of guidance with the freedom to flow on your own. Hot Vinyasa classes are challenging, but (speaking as somebody who was pretty new to hot yoga before TBY) you can easily scale your practice to match your experience/fitness/feeling that day (and when the original pose isn't happening for me, I feel totally comfortable trying a modification or another pose altogether). Risa and Rachel are the two instructors I've had most often, and both are wonderful! Highly recommend. read more

I bought a Groupon for Tiny Buddha Yoga, to see if I was going liked it. I'm so glad I ended up trying it because I have had such a great experience! I started off taking HIIT and it is a very challenging class. I really liked this class because it's a fun way to workout! I'm definitely going to continue coming to Tiny Buddha Yoga after my I'm done with my Groupon! I can't wait to attend more classes! read more

This was my first experience attending a yoga class, I went to the Depot Town location, and it was absolutely amazing! Casey was my instructor and he made the entire experience so personal, mindful, and peaceful! The class began with an inspirational message and ended with one as well. The entire atmosphere was perfect and the people were friendly! :) read more

I love Tiny Buddha Yoga! I've been practicing with Risa for about a year now, and moved with her when she opened this space. I could not be happier with the studio and the wonderful community Risa and her team of awesome instructors have cultivated. The thing I like the most about the studio is that Risa makes a point to make everyone feel welcome (she makes a point of knowing you by name), and offers challenging but inspiring classes. I've taken classes with other instructors at the studio as well, and I haven't had a disappointing class yet! read more

The yoga teachers here are all experienced and very helpful in deepening my yoga practice. This is the best studio in Ann Arbor by far. All of the locations in the area are clean and conveniently located. Many classes to choose from and I'm excited they are starting a Mysore program! Risa is awesome, take her classes!! read more

Get instructors. I highly recommend any yoga classes by Tessa, Sylvie, Kirstin or Maureen! Their styles are very unique, creative and challenging. If you want to amp up your practice, this is the place! Very personal touch. If you don't love it, I'll eat my mat! read more

Be warned: If you purchase the new student package for $55 it is only good for one month. I didn't realize this when I signed up for classes with my daughter. When we returned for our second session, it had just passed the thirty day mark. The instructor was extremely nice, and said this misunderstanding had happened several times before. She let us take the class using a special promotion and suggested I email the owner. I did so, explaining our situation, hoping she would let us finish. Two days later I received a reply stating the new student special was meant to "get people in the door" and it was not possible to let us finish the package. Needless to say, she is clearly not interested in KEEPING people in the door. There's no shortage of yoga studios in the area. We will look elsewhere. read more

Tiny Buddha is great. Risa and the other instructors are wonderful. It is a cozy, inviting studio and the classes are excellent - spiritually sweet and physically challenging; exactly what I look for! Tiny Buddha is wonderful for those pursuing growth in their yoga practice. read more

This is a wonderful yoga studio. Risa is extremely welcoming. Her classes are fun, challenging, and her messages are lovely. The music is great - both the slow music and the upbeat music. I have taken classes from several instructors here and they are all encouraging. The instructors are helpful and kind when correcting alignment and always instruct you to find your edge. I also really like the coziness of the studio. read more
