Be prepared to have the owner/instructor, Nicole show up late (10-30min after class is to commence) or cancel class with minimal if any notification. Bundle up in the winter, as you will be standing in the cold wondering if or when the instructor will show. I have repeatedly not recieved the full amount of class time purchased as the start/end time was not respected. As I drive 2 hours round trip to attend, this has been more than an inconvenience!
I have been trying to work with the owner for several years as an infrequent visitor due to distance. I liked her alignment based instruction & wanted to see her be a successful yoga business. However, I have repeatedly been on the receiving end of the owner stealing classes from my account, not honoring purchases or advertised offers & other discretions.
Owner has revised (shortened) expiration dates months after purchasing. I have experienced wrongful deduction of classes from my account. When I thought it was a careless oversight, I brought it to Nicole's attention. However she refused to acknowledge or correct it. Ultimately she stole from my account by purposely deducting classes that should not have been deducted.
The business name has changed 3 different times over several years that I have been attending. The business names affiliated with the owner while active are not in good standing with the State of Michigan.
The business advertises offers & promotions & fails to honor them.
It is unfortunate that the business owner chooses to make money by not honoring business promotional offerings, revising expiration dates that do not reflect what was purchased, & deducting classes from purchases that should never have been deducted. When classes start later than scheduled, this also results in not receiving in full what was purchased.
The space is small with low ceilings making it a challenge for hands over head for those of avg stature. Parking is prohibited at the studio, including bicycles. The studio tends to be dirty often downright filthy. During an extended period of approximately 3 months, there was poop splatter on the back of the toilet before it was finally removed. Gross! I have to wonder if the blankets are ever washed? The bolsters have visible soil. A large hole in the wall has not been repaired in over 2 years. It definitely is not the expectation I have of a yoga studio space or business.
There are many other legitimate yoga studio businesses in and around Ann Arbor to bother throwing any money here. I'd advise staying away from the Groupon & any discounted teacher training for all the same reasons outlined above, including purchases not being honored in full.

The studio was cozy, clean, and friendly. My biggest complaint is that the ceilings are too low (they're probably 7 or 7.5 feet). There are also no mirrors, which I personally find helpful in my yoga practice.

BMWY is the practice I didn't know I needed--or even existed. Of all studios I've frequented, Blue Moon is the one I keep coming back to. Rather than distract with loud music and lead you through a swift vinyasa, this studio invites you to pare down your practice, interrogate your alignment, and (re)affirm your intentions. It is truly a community-oriented space that welcomes an exceptionally diverse student body. My practice here has stimulated my personal growth and enabled me to foster connections with wonderful yogis in the area.

Thank goodness for this studio in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor! It's amazing to see a studio that is heart-centered, community embracing, and considerate to everyone's individual bodies and practice. I appreciate the variety of levels and options of classes, alignment awareness, and the diverse population that comes together. This is a great place to learn more about your own body and meet others who are looking to share loving feels with people in the area.

Nicki is so incredibly knowledgeable about anatomy and alignment. Your practice will improve 10 fold. So powerful!

3 yogis waiting at a locked door. The class was canceled shortly before its scheduled start time.

I've tried many studios in the area, and haven't found any others with such a thorough alignment focus. Nicole and the other teachers have really helped me come in to a safe and fulfilling practice that builds heat from within :)

I very much admire the Yoga Rupublic's interest in not only helping the mind-body health of those who come to sessions here, but also the the business-community health through their philanthropic generosity. Now there is some good karma!

Soooo, I'm a little biased ;) but I had to rate us! I truly feel that when I am in class with any of the teachers at TYR, that I am held....held by their compassion, their knowledge, their experience, and their practice. You can really feel the sacred space that is created, whether you're working your butt off, or in a restorative class...the dedication and depth of these yogis just permeates the room :) I feel terribly blessed to such a fine group of humans, and to serve such a beautiful community of yogis!
