The Yen Yoga and Fitness story

The Yen Yoga and Fitness story started in 2010, when a group of like-minded people decided to open an inspirational fitness space to foster community.

Through the years, Yen’s clients may have come through the doors to sweat and move, but they always left with a sense that they had found something special they hadn’t seen before.

Yen’s dedication to an outstanding client experience has made it the premier fitness facility in northern Michigan. Its state-of-the art studio at the Delamar Traverse City, combined with multiple award-winning yoga partnerships at local venues – Mari Vineyards, Black Star Farms, M-22 and Farm Club – has spread Yen’s reputation throughout the Midwest and beyond.

It isn’t just the location, which is on West Bay in beautiful downtown Traverse City. It’s also the teachers who make Yen an extraordinary place. Yen is very proud of its teaching staff, most of whom have been with the studio in some capacity since it opened in 2010. The majority of our faculty have advanced training in their specialties; thousands of rave reviews reflect this dedication. 

We often hear from clients, “There is nothing like Yen anywhere.” We believe this is true not only because of our dedicated staff and beautiful facilities, but also because of personal touches like post-class eucalyptus towels, infused water, complimentary tea and members-only special events and birthday gifts.

So, welcome to Yen Yoga and Fitness! It’s a place where you come in to move, sweat and tone … but leave feeling like you are known, appreciated and part of something special instead.

Yen Yoga and Fitness is a not-for-profit venture that gives back to its members and the northern Michigan community in various ways, such as free classes, scholarships and donations to other ventures making a difference in the world.
