New Student or New to Yoga? Welcome to Yoga Life!
If you are brand new to practicing Yoga, we highly recommend starting with our New to Yoga Trial.
This trial offer is specifically for those who have never practiced yoga or have had very limited exposure. It begins with 2 Intro to Yoga Classes where you will learn basic yoga postures, philosophy and what to expect in class. Then it adds two weeks of unlimited yoga so you can try different classes and instructors. Click here to see when the next Intro to Yoga Class is scheduled and to book your spot.
Already have a yoga practice but are new to Yoga Life? Start with our New Student Special.
This special offer provides you with two weeks of unlimited classes so that you can experience our classes and instructors before making a full commitment. Check the schedule to choose your first class and then choose our New Student Special at checkout.
For your first visit, it is best to arrive 10-15 minutes early so you are not rushed getting into your first class. This will give you plenty of time to sign in, get oriented with the studio, and ask any questions you may have. On following visits, it is best to arrive at least 5 minutes prior to class so we can start class on time. The lobby doors are locked upon the start of each class. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate late admittance.
Registering for classes
All brand new students are required to create an account and pre-register for class before arrival. Take a moment to set up your account and reserve your spot before coming to the studio. This includes signing our electronic waiver. Should you have any issues, please contact us immediately by either calling or emailing Mark@yogalifemichigan.com. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and seamless experience for everyone.
Pre-registration is not required after your first visit, but is highly recommended. To reserve your spot, simply click on the class you’d like to attend on our online schedule and enter your name and email. If you’re an unlimited studio member, your reservation is included with your membership. If you’re using a class pack, one class will be deducted from your pass when you register. If you don’t currently have a membership or class pass, you can purchase one at this point in the process. Your reservation must be associated with a valid membership or pass to be confirmed.

Studio Rules and Etiquette:
Turn off cell phones and leave them in the locker room along with your shoes and personal items. Only yoga props and mats are permitted in the studio.
Self-check-in is located at the kiosk in the lobby area before heading upstairs to the studio. Any issues, please see Mark or the instructor.
Inform your instructor of any injuries or issues you may have prior to class starting. This can include difficulty hearing, difficulty seeing, and learning disabilities and helps the instructor ensure your practice is safe and appropriate for you.
Respect the other students in the space who are here to relax and enjoy a clean and courteous environment. Respect the vibe of the room.
No foul language.
Practice good hygiene. No heavy perfumes, colognes, or smell of smoke on clothing or bodies.
Students are encouraged not to leave class early because Savasana is one of the most important parts of a yoga class, and quite enjoyable.
Upon entering the studio space, practice quiet. Unroll your yoga mat gently and walk lightly and mindfully. Use a calm, soft voice.
Clean your area after class. This includes used towels, props, and sweat.
Respect the teacher’s time and attention.
Wear appropriate clothing.
Observe complete silence during Savasana, inside and outside the studio.
Additional Information:
Limited Mats, blocks, straps, bolsters, blankets, and towels are available during class at no charge.
In class, we will twist, bend forward and backwards, and maybe even go upside down, so it is best to practice on a mostly empty stomach.
We have cubbies and lockers where all your belongings can safely be stored and remain undisturbed during class.
We accept all major credit cards. We accept cash on request.
