✨ Inner Alchemy: A New Era at YCHL ✨

We believe that transformation begins within — and that knowledge is power when it's lived, practiced, and shared.

Inner Alchemy is our new, free online education series designed to help you deepen your yoga practice on and off the mat.

Each entry will blend ancient wisdom and modern tools for inner peace, resilience, and personal growth.

We’ll explore the Eight Limbs of Yoga, The Four Agreements, the 12 Steps, and more — covering everything from nervous system regulation to yogic integrity.

No sign-up.
No charge.
Just real guidance for real change.

🌀 Read the first post now: “Ahimsa: The Violence that We Didn't Hear Coming. ”

This is for the peacemakers, the yogis, the burned out change-makers.
It’s personal. It’s about boundaries.
It’s about real ahimsa.

Meet Mark.

You’ll know him by the quiet strength in the room.
By the way he waters the plants like they’re friends.
By the way students linger after class—not just because their bodies feel better, but because they feel better.

Mark’s path hasn’t been linear.
He taught in Detroit in the 90s, then spent years disconnected from his practice, like so many of us do.
But in 2016, something shifted.
Life humbled him.
Yoga called him back.

Since then, he’s rebuilt from the ground up—body, mind, and spirit. Including a full recovery from knee replacement surgery that still stuns his doctors.

Today, he teaches from lived experience. Thirty years of it. And every word he offers comes from the heart.

If you're healing, rebuilding, or just curious—Mark is someone worth knowing.

This isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being present.
And staying close to the part of us that always knows.

If you’re in the middle of a recalibration, you’re not behind.
You’re in process—and that’s sacred.

If this isn't for you-read it anyway. 

Someone you love might need it 

Let’s say this plainly:

Men are dying younger and living lonelier, and in more pain than ever 

before. And it’s not because they’re broken—it’s because they’ve been told to “tough it out;” 

to carry stress in silence, to place health on the back burner, 

and to confuse strength with isolation.

At The Yoga Center for Healthy Living, we’re rewriting that story.

Here, strength isn’t about pushing through—it’s about waking up.
Waking up to the pain behind the silence.
To the stress hiding in your spine.
To the breath you haven’t taken deeply in weeks.
To the weight you’ve been carrying in your chest that no gym will lift.

I’ve healed my spine three times. I’ve turned my life around from the inside out—through addiction, out of depression, into purpose. And I did it by 

going inward, not harder. That’s what we teach here.

Yoga is not just stretching. It’s not just “for women.”
It’s functional strength. It’s nervous system repair. It’s cardiovascular 

resilience.
It’s freedom.

If you’re tired of being tired and in pain,
If you don’t know where to start.
If you just need a place where you can breathe—

We’re holding space for you.

Your first class is on us with code: YCHLSTRONG
(Valid through Tuesday. No questions, no pressure. Just show up.)

If you are ready to jump right in, we've created an exclusive promotion - our gift to you for Men's Health Month. 

At checkout use code: YCHLBROGIS25 to take 50% OFF your first month unlimited. 

(Valid through Tuesday - 

*Ladies, if you get them here, we want you to get the same healing at the same rate. We don't discriminate and neither do these promo codes!)

Not sure where to begin?

Call the studio today for your free 10 minute consultation.

248-495-7961

Your healing doesn’t have to be loud.
It just has to be yours.

We’re ready when you are.

Brahmacharya on the mat is suppleness of spirit.

As we return to our mats over and over again, we experience rigidity at many levels.

We can become rigidly attached to practicing certain times, certain temperatures, in certain styles, certain sequences, with certain teachers, certain clothes, certain mats, certain places in the room, certain towels, certain results...the list is endless.

Many of these attachments are harmless.

Most of us settle down to a particular style in a particular philosophy, and this is necessary if we are to dig our wells deep.

Nevertheless, the root of all attachments is fear, and a fear driven practice gets us hurt or gets us nowhere at all.

Brahmacarya on the mat is a sensitivity to these attachments.

Where and in what manner am I out of balance?

Am I practicing 7 days a week to control my weight or to achieve a body shape I believe will give me power in the world?

Am I practicing yoga as a means to show up for my life or to hide from it?

Do I appreciate my teacher because she challenges me to look at my life or because she doesn't make me look at my life?

As we cultivate this sort of inquiry on the mat, our practice becomes an exercise in balance as a rule of thumb in my own practice, I avoid becoming complacent.

That means two things I rest more often than I like, and I take class even when I don't want to.

I believe that it's good for me to be pushed harder than I would like, and that it's equally good for me to take time off or to practice without pushing it all.

I know that if I don't like a teacher, it's because she reflects an aspect of myself that I've not made peace with. I know that I will never graduate, and I know too, that I can trust my body.

Brahacharya on the mat is the same as it is anywhere else - it is sanskrit for personal responsibility.
