I have been doing yoga for 15 years. I thought I would try this place and didn't like it at all. The instructor (I think he was the owner) was a jerk even though I explained I had injuries.

Just finished my third class. Although I'm new to Yoga, I can confidently say that this place is a great fit for me. Not too easy, not too difficult. However, I would suggest having some experience or at least athletic ability before coming in. I look forward to class, and sleep like a baby after!

I had the opportunity to attend almost every class at Detroit Yoga during two weeks. Jason is an extremely gifted & dedicated teacher with a following of practitioners who have been studying with him for 10-15 years. He is also a talented thai massage therapist.
Each class begins & ends with meditation & questions from students.
His classes are crafted around the idea that we can use the practice of yoga to learn how to remain calm in the face of difficulty. Breath awareness & developing resiliency are the backbone of Jason's teachings, so get ready to 1/ never forget again how to properly breathe in challenging poses & 2/ be kept on your toes with sequences of poses & transitions you weren't expecting.
I highly recommend Detroit Yoga to anyone (whatever one's current level of practice) who is willing to commit to a long-term practice & wants to benefit from a high quality instruction that will serve every aspect of one's life.

This is the place if you want to go deeper than just following an instructor. I enjoy the class style here: you work on a set of moves to your own breath, rather than a synchronized yoga class. Highly recommended.

I've been coming here for about 3 months now and I am super happy with the progress I am making in my practice. This is serious yoga, the kind that pushes me to work harder than I knew I could. It took me a long time to find a studio with vinyasa classes that doesn't play distracting music. Like the classes I took in India, we practice without music and focus instead inward. Its pure yoga without all the western bullshit, which is probably why its not for those other people who left unhappy reviews. You aren't going to get a lavender infused facial massage during Savasana, but you'll be laying there glowing because you know you earned it. Jason is also a martial artist and this comes through in the orderly way he teaches and runs the classes. A yoga instructor myself, I would recommend this studio to anyone who is looking to work hard and strengthen their practice and arm balances.

These reviews are not the Jason or Detroit Yoga I know very well. While he does require a monetary commitment even I can't make right now, he is an excellent yoga instructor. His classes were my first (but not only) experience with yoga in 2005. After being his student for about 2 years, I was in the best shape of my life and could handle the stress of anything with ease. Jason is very passionate about his instruction and his student's learning it. He can come off as cold if he feels you are not absorbing what he is saying, but I don't think he intends this to be a put off. Remember, the best teachers in school were often the ones that were toughest on you. Because they expected more from you and they wanted you to commit to your future, Jason is the same way. Maybe not for everyone, but a great yoga instructor.

I have practiced yoga all across the country. From Seattle to New York and have a regular practice here in the city. One day I decided to do some yoga here just to see how it was. Yikes. Jason was the most unfriendly, rude yoga instructor I have ever come into contact with. He almost acted as if he was to good to be teaching yoga to us mere mortals. He was condescending and rude to almost everyone in there even students I am sure were his regulars. There were a couple of points during the class I wanted to stop and remind him that yoga is more then the just asanas its also about karma. How you treat others. I feel bad for anyone whose only yoga experience they have is with Jason the energy in that room was so bad I felt like it weighed me down all the way home.
I honestly don't know how he stays in business. Unless I caught him on a bad day there is no way I would pay someone to talk or treat me like that on a weekly basis.
I think Jason might practice along with his asanas some humility.

Same thing happened to me!!! I didn't make it past five minutes of talking to him before I had to leave he was making me so uncomfortable. How does this guy stay in business? What a creep.
