Salt Yoga

SALT yoga is an incredible yoga studio for mind, body and soul connection. Last year I moved to the Greater Lansing area and found a home away from home with an incredible instructors and staff. In other word, If you are looking for a cool people and a deeper connection with yourself, SALT yoga is the place for you.

Took a hot vinyasa class which would have been great if the room wasn't so cramped. They definitely need to downsize class sizes as they had far too many people in an already small space.

Toni has the best space to practice in. It is calming, inviting and peaceful. The perfect kind of energy! The Halotherapy classes are my favorite. I have not had a sinus infection since going to them. Love Salt!

Toni and her team of incredible teachers are warm, welcoming, knowledgable and inclusive. From slow flow to hot vinyasa the focus is on your own practice, connecting breath and movement and finding your edge. I always leave class with a full heart, feeling more grounded and walking a little taller. Thanks Salt team, you are a true gift!

Was introduced to Yoga by some of my music buddies in Nashville about 8 months ago. Shortly after, I decided I needed a spot to frequent in the Lansing / East Lansing area. I made a post on Facebook asking for recommendations, and it was made clear that Salt Yoga in East Lansing was the spot to try. Signed up for the two week trial and have been a member of the studio ever since.Showing up to a Yoga studio as a complete novice is terrifying - and I hope I never fail to empathize with the newcomers who find their way into a Yoga studio for the first time. I've been to well over 40 studio, both in Lansing and across the country, but no place has been more welcoming & accessible than salt. I'm surely a bit biased here, since this was the first studio I clicked with, but Toni, the owner, runs a great business and it shows. It's community driven, but not cliquey in the slightest.There are folks of all skill levels and her core of instructors are some of the best Michigan has to offer (and all are quite varied in their approach to running class). A lot of them have professional health/medical/sports backgrounds; folks that can get down with general wellness practices, but also have a healthy understanding and respect for science.The difficulty has been consistent - I've always felt an appropriate level of challenge. There's no pressure from the instructors to push yourself beyond your capabilities and participant safety is always emphasized. Finding the edge is always encouraged. The heat levels vary from instructor to instructor, but in general I'd say it ranges from about 94-98 degrees. They also offer unheated classes, but c'mon, it's Yoga. You'll learn to love the heat with time!The place is spotlessly clean, has multiple bathrooms, a shower, and you don't have to rent towels. Prices are totally competative (drop ins are $18, compared to $25-30 in most of the bigger cities, but bulk classes and memberships can drop the price down to around $10-13 per class).I could go on, but regardless if you're a nervous first timer making strides towards improving your life, or a seasoned yoga vet, you'll be happy with Salt Yoga.I somehow don't have pictures of me at Salt, but I'll get one and upload it soon!

What a bummer that this awesome place's Google reviews are suffering because one person was expecting a glacier of salt instead of a reasonable wall fixture!I'm brand new to yoga and Salt Yoga's slow flow classes have been wonderful for me. It varies from instructor to instructor but most either show or explain how to do the various poses. If not, you can always pick it up from the other participants. I highly recommend the 9:00 p.m. slow flow classes after a long work day; they're extremely relaxing and healing.In addition to a relaxing atmosphere and genuinely kind instructors, Salt Yoga also features an environment of welcoming that makes me, as a beginner, keep coming back. It's not easy to try something new but having instructors like India remind you that this is your time to love yourself and just do your best is amazing.Highly recommend!

Toni Thomas opened this studio in June. It has a family feel to it, which you would expect nothing less from a place created by her. All the instructor’s are great and there are a variety of different yoga options offered. Keeping the sense of what yoga really is, a holistic workout. I have been to a few different studios in the area and the energy at Toni’s is the only one I have been to that has not secularized the yoga practice.

I have attended a teacher training with the owner in the past and can tell you she is genuine on the inside and out! Her passion for sharing yoga goes deeper than most and this endeavor for her will only make that more obvious! Toni’s class will get you to experience not only a full range of motion, but also full range of emotion with her music and stories. The perfect blend of strength & flexibility! I especially like all the “salty” talk, hahah.

We moved to EL over a year ago and I’ve been dragging my feet about finding a new yoga studio. I loved the practice in our previous town led by a woman who had been teaching yoga for decades, so was reluctant to start “test driving” studios around town. When I walked into Salt, I immediately felt at home—warm and welcomed. The space is beautiful and conducive to detaching from the busyness of the day. They seem to be building the practice but already offer a nice variety of classes. I deeply appreciate that the instructor was knowledgeable about the philosophy and the practice. This feels like the yoga community I left behind. Namaste.

This studio is amazing! I waited patiently for it to open as I was so excited to see the salt wall and experience the benefits of halotherapy. I was not disappointed! Toni is a gem! She created such a beautiful space for the community to practice and I’m grateful for the positive energy she radiates. Thank you Salt Yoga!
