Living Beyond Yoga proudly brought Aerial Yoga to Traverse City — and we are one of the first two schools to offer Aerial Yoga in the United States. Since 2011, we have been leading Aerial Yoga Teacher Trainings, certifying studios locally, statewide, and internationally.

We use a trapeze-style hammock rather than silks, creating a more supportive and accessible practice that is deeply therapeutic. The trapeze cradles and supports your body, making it easier to explore movement, release tension, and build strength — no experience needed.

This practice is a beautiful way to build strength and flexibility while feeling fully held and supported.

When the world feels like too much, these practices invite you to slow all the way down — to breathe, to be held, and to come home to yourself. No effort required. Just presence.

• Yin Yoga — Slow, meditative, and deeply restorative. Long-held postures release deep tension, improve mobility, and restore body and mind. We also work with the body's meridian system, gently stimulating energy pathways to promote balance, vitality, and inner calm. Come ready to surrender, soften, and be renewed.
• Yoga Nidra — Known as "yogic sleep," this guided meditation practice brings you to the threshold between waking and sleeping — a state of profound rest where the nervous system heals, stress dissolves, and deep restoration happens effortlessly. All you have to do is lie down and listen.
• Restorative Yoga — Using bolsters, blankets, and blocks, your body is fully supported in each pose so you can completely let go. Restorative yoga calms the nervous system, eases tension held deep in the body, and leaves you feeling deeply nourished and at peace.

Ready to feel strong, energized, and powerful? Our Sculpt and YogaSculpt classes blend the mindfulness of yoga with the results of strength training — giving you the best of both worlds in one incredible class. We use weights, resistance bands, blocks, and straps to challenge and support your body in equal measure. Expect to work hard, sweat, and leave feeling amazing.

• SculptWise Circuit — A smart, functional circuit-style class that combines strength moves and intentional rest. No yoga flows here — this is pure functional fitness, designed to build real-world strength and endurance while keeping the body balanced and injury-free. Props, weights, bands, and the barre are all part of the experience.
• YogaSculpt Circuit — Dynamic yoga flows fused with sculpting exercises using light weights and resistance bands. This class tones the whole body, fires up your core, and keeps your heart rate elevated — all while staying rooted in breath and mindful movement. A full-body workout you'll actually look forward to.
• Hot YogaSculpt — A flowing yoga practice with weights, amplified by our soothing infrared heat. Move through energizing sequences while the warmth deepens your stretches, accelerates calorie burn, and leaves your muscles feeling thoroughly worked and wonderfully loose. One of our most popular classes for a reason.
• Pilates — The perfect complement to any sculpt practice. Core-focused and alignment-driven, Pilates builds the deep stability and postural strength that makes every other class feel better. Ideal for all levels.

The perfect place to begin — or to return to the essentials. These classes move at a mindful pace, with clear instruction and plenty of modifications so every body feels at home.

• Slow Flow Yoga — A gentle, flowing practice that links breath with movement. Accessible for all levels and a wonderful way to build a sustainable practice.
• Move with Ease — A beautiful place to start or restart your practice. Designed to help you move more freely and comfortably, with a gentle, welcoming pace that meets you exactly where you are. Great for those returning after time away, managing discomfort, or simply wanting to feel good in their body.
• Foundation Slow Flow — Learn the foundational poses and principles of yoga in a supportive, unhurried environment. Ideal if you're brand new or want to deepen your understanding of the basics.
