Aerial Yoga

Take yoga to the next step by trying aerial yoga.

Barre

Step up to the barre with this unique class. Barre engages muscles that you don’t normally use in an average, everyday workout.

No experience in ballet is required. New clients can pay $20 for two weeks of unlimited classes. Membership ranges from $59-149. The Barre Code, 2793 Plymouth Road., Ann Arbor; thebarrecode.com.
