Detroit Yoga

Yogi Jason Schramm, inspired by the daily struggles of the city he loves, named his studio in its honor. Within the school’s two locations, he draws upon 10,000 hours spent teaching to show students how to find inner peace and use it to effect change. The instructors use ancient yoga poses to propel pupils inward, and Schramm lets subtle influences from martial arts shine through in some courses. Ashtanga classes summon sweat with vigorous poses that build strength and flexibility, and Vinyasa techniques weave movement, stillness, and deep breaths into a dance-like sequence that changes daily. In addition to leading classes in his studios, Schramm imparts poses over Skype, which lets yogis practice without leaving home or admitting they are tangled in Christmas lights.
