yoga roots | petoskey, mi

One thing I do miss about NYC --- all of the incredible yoga that's offered everyday all day by some of the best instructors in the country! It's nice to have options. Heck, you can even take a midnight yoga class in NYC Lauging Lotus! I'm certainly not discing Petoskey, because the class I took was GREAT. I just wish I had more styles/times to choose from. There's another yoga studio next door in Harbor Springs that I'll check out before I move on. :)

Location: Yoga Roots 413 Howard St Petoskey, MI 49770 (231) 838-8992 (great location, right in the center of town!)
 

Cost: $15 per drop-in class. (so far no price difference than NYC. Actually Yoga to the People has been the BEST and cheapest yoga so far!! YR had no towels for use or rent. Bummer when you're taking a "hot" class. I need to remember to always bring one!!

Venue: comfortable and quaint

Style: Heated Vinyasa

Class size: hmm I think there about 7 of us (all girls)

Level: Easy/intermediate

Summary: I didn't have time to change before class so I walked in with my "fleece-lined" sweatpants on... BAD CHOICE for a hot yoga class. I think I lost an extra 5 lbs of water weight! I forgot to read the class description before going. I knew it was vinyasa, but missed the "hot" part!! Class was great and the instructor, Tiffany, was incredibly nice and talked us through all the moves and gave minor adjustments where needed.  I always like when teachers do that because even the best yogis can fall out of line so it's good to have an outsider's perspective. I always need "tweeking" so it's good! 

I stuck around to chat with Tiffany after class. I quickly learned we're very like-minded. She recently quit her hectic waitressing job to focus more on her passions... yoga and painting silk scarves. I love people who go after their dreams. Tiffany's scarves are beautiful so you should check out her website soon (there will be some for sale on her yoga website).

Great class and I'm glad I got to meet Tiffany. Good luck pursuing your dreams Tiffany and stay in touch!
