Yoga at the Zoo

Nature is Waiting
There’s something about practicing yoga a few steps from wildlife that a studio can never replicate. Summer Yoga at the Zoo pairs 60-minute, all-levels classes with locations across the Detroit Zoo, each class taking place at a unique animal habitat. Every session includes a zookeeper chat explaining the animals you’re practicing near.
Popular sessions fill up early. Don't leave your spot in child's pose.

Yoga That Supports Something Bigger
