Christy DeBurton,RYT, encourages an eclectic approach to yoga. She offers classes, retreats, workshops and private instruction in a variety of styles--Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Yin and Kundalini--and urges students to sample different styles to find the most appropriate and inspiring class for themselves. Christy teaches at her own studio The Yoga Room in Ann Arbor, and offers additional classes throughout Michigan. Please check the schedule below for current class offerings.


PRIVATE CLASSES
If none of Christy's weekly classes fits with your schedule, or if you are just looking for a class tailored to your own specific needs, she is continuing to offer affordable private and small group classes at The Yoga Room. These classes offer the student individual attention and are especially good for people with injuries, who are pregnant, or who are new to yoga. $50/class for 1-2 people; $75/class for 3-4 people. Christy also works with sports teams, businesses and health care providers, and is available to come to your site. (Higher rates apply.)


GIFT CERTIFICATES are available for either an individual or series of private or group classes.

Partner Yoga & Thai Yoga Massage Workshop with Christy DeBurton & Colette McLogan
@ The Yoga Room
Back by popular demand (and just in time for Mother's Day)! Bring a partner or find one here and practice yoga in a unique way at this fun workshop. Partner yoga is a great way to practice surrender, empathy, balance, trust and communication. We will work with our partner in discovering the dynamics of a partner yoga flow, and support each other in opening our bodies in ways that can be challenging in a solo practice. Then, we will learn to give and receive a wonderfully relaxing Thai Yoga massage. This workshop will bring new levels of awareness, harmony and support to your yoga practice and to your relationships!

Beyond the Basics: Taking Your Yoga Practice to the Next Level
with Christy DeBurton @ The Yoga Room
This workshop is especially designed for yogis who have been taking classes and want specific instruction on how to handle more advanced poses. The workshop includes discussion and practice of poses which build on the basics: Upward facing dog, plank & chaturanga, jumping forward and back, backbends, arm balances & inversions. Even if you've been practicing for a while, this is a great way to reconnect with the fundamentals of the practice and ask questions that you have always wanted to ask.
