From the reviews
GLY is extremely warm and welcoming to new students. It's a very calming atmosphere and the teachers and regulars treat you like you've been part of the family for years. It's a great way to work up a sweat and meditate at the same time. I encourage you to try a class you may be scared to try.
Great Lakes Yoga has truly changed my life. I was nervous to try yoga outside the comfort of my home. In the first class I entered, everyone welcomed and greeted me. I felt comfortable and was able to focus on myself. I have found love in yoga, and I can see it changing my everyday life and thoughts.
As a person edging to 70 I can tell you that this studio has something for everyone at any age. The instructor offer all kinds of modifications for the aging body. But above the physical aspect mentality you will come out stronger and more confident in dealing with life's challenges.
I am a traveling Yogi and this is one of my favorite studios in Saginaw. What I love most besides the classes is how welcoming and clean the space is. All the classes are heated which is so nice in the Michigan winters. Jen and the team do such a great job.
Teacher training at Great Lakes Yoga
Great Lakes Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first hot yoga class at Great Lakes Yoga
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
