Updog Yoga

I was quite taken back by how rude one of the ladies was at the paddle board yoga class. As a fitness instructor myself I can't imagine talking to someone like this woman spoke to my friend. The actual Instructor Crystal did a great job.

Great space, kind staff, been to a drum circle here twice and both times had a wonderful experience. Parking wasn’t bad either even with it being so close to downtown

Got the 5 for $15 newcomers deal and i love it! i’ve been taking basics classes so far but it’s still good and challenging. i took a monday night class with Jill and she was amazing. she was funny and motivating and knowledgeable. i’m actually going through a breakup and almost cried in class because of what she was saying. if you get the chance to take her class please do 💕

Great Yoga Studio, plenty of variety, and consistencies of classes to maintain my practice of yoga. Ive been impressed by many workshops with great instructors and really have passion for their craft. The building where updog is located has a very calming and relaxing environment that has been decorated very nicely. Located right on main street in downtown Rochester there is free parking behind the building.

My wife went for the first time today to Updog Yoga. My mother had gone before and had had a good experience, but I have 0 positive expectations for this business following tonight.My wife is pregnant and wanted to stay healthy for herself and our baby. Updog Yoga was offering a free first visit (positive and a great way to get people interested in their health. I won't say bad about the good they're doing). She started her yoga poses with the instructor and had strong belly pain as some of the poses were too much for her. She went to leave, but was told by the instructor she couldn't leave as it would disturb the "energies" in the room. This is atrocious behavior what person thinks it's okay to tell a grown adult they can't make their own choices let alone a pregnant woman in pain she can't make her own choices to protect her baby. This is unbelievably disrespectful to the people who on their own time and free will choose to attend your classes.I understand this may have been a new instructor, all of the other reviews are positive (along with my mother's experience), if so I hope those who are leading Updog Yoga make it clear that this is not okay and don't let this become their new standard.

Love Updog Yoga! Teachers are experienced, space is beautiful and welcoming. Great energy, many workshops are offered and a sweet store for clothing, crystals and misc items. The new owners have brought great energy and changes to the studio.

I’ve been practicing yoga for about 6 years now and over the course of those years I’ve been to numerous yoga studios in the metro Detroit area. I can honestly say that UpDog Yoga, in Rochester, is the most welcoming of them all and my favorite place to practice yoga. Each instructor genuinely cares about connecting with their students and providing an environment that is challenging, both physically and mentally, as well as restorative. I feel completely refreshed and rejuvenated after each class.I’ve attended UpDog for many years and I can honestly say my appreciation for the practice of yoga has grown immensely as a result. The studio has a very inviting feel and look to it. Most days it feels like my home away from home. In addition to growing my yoga practice, one of the most satisfying parts about going to UpDog is the fact that I’ve developed strong friendships with the owner, the instructors, and many other students. There is a really sense of community and camaraderie that keeps me coming back.UpDog Yoga is definitely worth checking out!!

INCREDIBLE FACILITY!Dealing with the fast paced/high stress automotive industry, it is hard for me to unwind after work; Updog's environment allows even the most stressed out individual to unwind. The atmosphere & tranquility at Updog is reminiscent of a hut in the mountains.The staff ensures centering your soul to the universe. As a disbeliever in initially of yoga, this studio changed my outlook completely. To speak specifically to one instructor, Yvonne Clark is an excellent guide and I would recommend her to any yoga level student if they welcome a challenge.

Updog is a wonderful yoga studio. It has many different styles of classes for all levels. This studio is my favorite in the Detroit area because the atmosphere is welcoming and calm. A great place to begin learning about yoga or to further your current practice. The yin taught here is truly the best and the vinyasa classes are challenging, but also fun.

Updog yoga studio is not just a great place to practice yoga, it's a great place to practice community. The teachers not only care about their students, they go above and beyond to make sure students feel welcome and safe regardless of their level of practice. Whatever it is that brings you to your mat, know that you will always get a warm welcome and a great practice at Updog!
