The instructors were very knowledgeable and attentive to the group. The vibe at Funky Buddha is welcoming, fun, and peaceful all at the same time! My husband and I love it there - we will be back for more!
Great place and people, so welcoming
I started my yoga experience at Funky Bhudda 6 or 7 years ago. I have always enjoyed the talented instructors and friendly, peaceful atmosphere. Yoga has positively impacted both my physical and mental health. I would recommend this practice to anyone that has an open mind. Unfortunately most the people I know are close minded to such things.
My sister and I had been wanting to try this place since it opened but never got around to it. They had a birthday celebration where it offered free yoga classes for two days so we finally went to one. We did the slow yoga which I really loved. I can't imagine doing yoga if it isn't 95 degrees. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful during our visit and convinced us to do it again in the future. They also have a great deal for a Groupon currently if anyone wants to try it out! You save over $100!
Highly recommend. The entire staff is extremely helpful and kind and everyone in the class is happy. I've only went three times (Eastown only) and am already obsessed. My instructor each time was Christina, and she's extremely professional and really explains each position so newcomers can understand. Clean facility with a comfortable and happy vibe.
Great staff, and great classes! Welcoming atmosphere for all ability levels, and lots of class offerings that make it easy to fit yoga in no matter your schedule.

Geared towards fit, college crowd. Hot yoga flow. If you are looking for a strong, physical practice in a crowded space, this would be it!
Highly recommend. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great for all abilities, shapes, sizes, ages. Don't let the heat scare you away. It's amazing here!
One of my favorite yoga studios in Grand Rapids. Comfortable environment, friendly staff, and reasonable prices.
My girlfriends and I tried the absolute beginners class last week. None of us have ever taken a formal yoga class...and have really only done the few moves in P90X. This was a 2 hr class and let me tell you..it was amazing! The three instructors were so incredibly nice and they answered any questions people had. We would learn a few moves and then "flow" by going from move to move to move. The instructors would walk around and adjust you if you needed it but it was very helpful and they were very encouraging. We were in a class with other "absolute beginners" and it was a great environment. You didn't feel like you were being judged if you couldn't do the move just right. You definitely SWEAT but it feels so good! I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in trying Hot yoga!!
After going to a few different hot yoga establishments, I always come back to Funky Buddha. Feels like home! The staff is incredibly warm and friendly, the teachers are skilled and engaging, and the spaces are beautiful.

I agree with the other reviews that the instructors tend to just bark out the poses rather than explain how to get into the poses. Offered about zero cues or directions how to safely get into and out of poses or how to safely and properly transition from pose to pose. She even said during the class it was less important to do the pose right than it was to stay in the pose longer. This blew my mind, if you're in a pose with poor alignment it can cause serious damage to your spine, shoulders, etc.. She had us get into three poses during the class (bridge/wheel/crow) without any cues on how to set it up right. There were even people in the class who had never done yoga before. The staff does not seem to be trained in the proper practice of yoga or in the classic philosophy. It felt more like an aerobics class than a yoga class. The instructor gave off the vibe that you should feel bad or lazy if you weren't holding a pose, rather than honoring yourself and your own limits. These instructors need to be trained better.
The class also had about 50-60 some people in it which is overwhelming for a yoga class. They need to limit the amount of people in the class. You receive no attention and less instruction with this many people. It seems to be more about the money than the yoga. They even charged me 2 dollars to simply rent a towel.
This is really more of a fad yoga than classic yoga. If you're looking to develop a lifelong practice I do not recommend going here.
