Thank you for visiting us. The Ann Arbor School of Yoga is an institute for the enjoyment and study of the Iyengar Method of Yoga. We offer classes for all level of experience via zoom online simultaneously with in-person classes to a limited capacity of 10 students per class. If attending in-person all students and faculty must wear a mask the entire time when in the building.
While operating at a small limited capacity lease obligations and other bills are ongoing. Here in Ann Arbor at AASY we have classes for everyone, beginners, and experts, stiff or flexible, young or old. The practice of yoga helps us know more fully who we truly are, beginning with the body, mind, and breath.

I am eager to return to AAschoolofY with you. In the meantime my daughter is sheltering here and we have been using some recorded online series to keep things moving. Thank you for inspiring us with your interesting yoga sequences. I try to practice about three times a week, but it's not the same as being in the school with all of you.
What equipment do I need to bring to class? You need only comfortable clothing. Everything else you will need is at the studio. If it's your first class, the teacher will show you where to find everything and how to set up. What do I wear to class? You should wear comfortable, flexible, modest attire.
Inversions can improve circulation, regulate hormones, treat respiratory disorders, strengthen the immune system, improve sense of balance, increase mental alertness and focus, increase stamina and strength of the upper body - the list goes on and on. Inversions are dangerous only when a teacher does not provide proper instruction and/ or when a student practices without body awareness or practice technique.

The Ann Arbor School of Yoga is located at 420 W. Huron, in a converted church. The facility was converted by Laurie specifically to be an Iyengar Yoga school, with special attention paid to Iyengar Yoga's emphasis on props. There are also fully functional showers available to members of the school, located on the lower level.

I had a great experience here. I attended a Level I class, and found the instruction very thorough, detailed, and specific about how to get in, stay in, and get out of poses. The method uses props to support poses. With instruction I was able to get into some of the people-pleasing inversion poses (shoulder stand), with props. Above all, I felt the teaching was controlled and the learning was safe. I have done yoga for many years, and in other studios with less attention and focus on method injured myself. This felt more like a learning experience than an aggressive or intense fitness class. After

Highly recommend this studio. Laurie's years of experience show when she is teaching. Becca and Dave are awesome as well! All teachers can lead small classes and with equal competency handle larger classes. Anyone looking to learn yoga and see good results in their practice should come to this studio.

I come from NYC and was in the changing room at the Iyengar institute and said I was coming to Ann Arbor...Immediately someone said I HAD to go one of Laurie's classes....Great recommendation as Laurie is a wonderful Iyengar teacher who designs each class purposefully and is attentive to all participants to assure proper alignment . I will go whenever I am in town and our schedules mesh.

Laurie offers wonderful instruction for new and experienced students. Her knowledge of yoga practice and teaching is already extraordinary but she never stops learning. (She studies for a month with the Iyengar family in India every year and when she returns she has even more to offer than before she left.)
Iyengar yoga is precise and detailed but Laurie doesn’t overwhelm us with too much at once. She realizes that each of us experiences the poses in our unique ways. Instead of having us only *do* the poses, she helps us focus our minds on what is happening with us individually as we experience
