Lori leads such amazing classes, especially prenatal. This is my second time taking her prenatal classes, and she creates such a peaceful and supportive environment for all different moms-to-be. I recommend her classes to all of my friends and anyone I meet!

I am so happy that I found Earthside yoga early in my first pregnancy. Lori is a wonderful instructor and person with so many connections and resources in the birthing community here in Metro Detroit. Practicing yoga during pregnancy has been pivotal for my mental and physical health. The opening circles to connect with other expecting moms were so comforting and insightful. I would recommend Earthside prenatal yoga wholeheartedly.

Long overdue review. I had the luck of being a part of Lori’s prenatal yoga class when I was pregnant with my 2 babies. She is the most calming, supportive, knowledgeable teacher you will ever meet ! So grateful to her and the community .

The prenatal yoga class is absolutely fantastic. I was a bit hesitant to do something like this because this is my first pregnancy but please do! The opening circle is my favorite thing about this class. We all give an update on how our pregnancy is going and I have learned so much. Lori really has done a great job at making all the ladies feel welcomed and safe. Honestly, this class was such a life changing experience as someone who feared being pregnant. I cannot thank everyone enough that is apart of it.

I can't express my gratitude for Lori and the Earthside community she has built enough. I started doing yoga with Lori during my first trimester of pregnancy when I was anxious about being a new mom and not knowing many people locally, especially other expecting moms. I learned so much by listening to other moms during opening circle. Doing yoga during pregnancy not only gave me tools to use during labor, but taught me that I could (and should!) advocate for my own health. This was a safe space to ask questions, share stories and anxieties and celebrate each other. I had an amazing labor and birth and I attribute a lot of that to Lori and the other moms I did yoga with.
Since becoming a mom, I've also gone to monthly moms morning out yoga classes and baby and mom yoga. I've met other moms to confide in and don't feel so alone going through this journey. I am forever grateful for Lori!

I did Lori's Restorative Yoga a few Sundays ago and it was amazing! Her calming presence and thorough instructions make the class very open and welcoming! This was my first class here and usually i can be imitated or overwhelmed with new faces, but this class was perfect and very comfortable! I am looking forward to joining again soon!

I have practiced with Lori for two full pregnancies, and am now on my third. There is no other studio I would trust more! Her wealth of knowledge, unlimited support, and the skills taught to both calm and strengthen your pregnant body are unmatched!! If you have the chance to practice with her, do yourself a favor and DO IT!! You will not regret it ❤️
P.S. - my husband and I have also taken her partner yoga course - twice! He loved it both times (and he was very unsure going in) and felt he learned some great information and ways to support me going into delivery. We are looking forward to another session this time around, if we get the chance 👍👍

If you want to feel at home in your pregnancy and with your body, meet other expectant mothers in the community, and build a deep connection to your baby, look no further than Earthside Yoga. Earthside Yoga offers something special for prenatal community. Lori’s teachings gave me so much confidence and peace during my pregnancy, both on and off my yoga mat. Yoga with Lori was the best gift to myself during pregnancy. Let your mind, body and baby say thank you, and sign up for a class!

I have been taking prenatal yoga classes with Lori now for roughly 14-15 weeks. I look forward to her class each week! I love the sense of community and being able to connect with other expecting moms.

Of course I love the yoga too! I have learned a lot of breathing techniques and mantras that I use on my own when I’m feeling stressed - I can’t wait to use them during my birth experience as well.

Thank you Lori for teaching us the skills to help with all the pregnancy stresses and aches and pains! Can’t wait for mommy & me yoga when my baby arrives.

I cannot say enough good things about Lori and her classes! She leads an incredible class that empowers women to know their hearts, mind and bodies! Whether you are a first time mom or a fifth time mom, the practices that Lori teaches will absolutely benefit you! She cultivates an environment that grounds and encourages women and has helped me personally better reflect on my previous pregnancies and prepare for my future births!

Lori is the best! I started taking her prenatal classes when I was about 16 weeks and continued through the birth of my son. They were great for relieving the physical aches and pains as well as for taking the time to relax and connect with my baby. Lori's instruction gave me so much confidence in moving my body that I ultimately wound up on a path to a successful unmedicated birth. Since then I have also enjoyed her other courses and always come away feeling good!

I found Earthside Yoga when I was pregnant with my first baby. I have had ongoing back problems/pain for years and being pregnant definitely made it worse! Practicing yoga made a measurable difference in reducing my pain, increasing my mobility, and allowing me some comfort during a very uncomfortable time. I continued to practice with Lori after my first was born, during my second pregnancy, and after attending the slow flow and aromatherapy classes. Every class I attend brings me strength and peace. But more than all of that, this community has brought me love, hope, joy, support, friendship, and a judgement free space to express the crazy feelings that come with pregnancy and motherhood. I have leaned on these women for the simple things like how did you pottly train your stubborn child, what did you do when your child started biting, as well as the hard things like who did you lean on when the postpartum hormones and depression left you reeling? Now that we are expereincing life events that none of us could have predicted, I lean on my yoga practice and community more than ever. I go through poses to ease the strain in my back daily and every morning I hear Lori's voice in my head guiding me through the poses I love the most and reminding me that I am strong, brave, and most of all I am not alone. I came to this space for the yoga, what I found and fell in love with is the community of loving, supportive, and fiercely protective mamas. The yoga is amazing, Lori is amazing, the community is invaluable!

I first found Lori when I moved across the country to Michigan with my four-month old baby girl. I had found a great pre- and post-natal yoga group in LA that I never thought I could replicate until a simple Google search led me to Lori & Earthside Yoga! 🙏🏼❤️ I immediately reached out and she responded to me right away encouraging me to join the next session. With the difficult life transition of having a baby, going back to work after maternity leave, moving across the country and being a full-time working mom on PT hours, Lori embraced me into the mommy/baby yoga group with open arms. Every Saturday, my little and I enjoyed amazing quality time together, a sense of community in a no-judgement zone type atmosphere and amazing mentorship from Lori that helps calm your mind and feed your soul. At the active crawling stage, the babies become “yoga graduates” but the practice doesn’t stop for moms! Lori is a master at post-natal care and offers a variery of different classes to cater to everyone on all levels. I personally love her candle-lit restorative class, mom’s morning out + post-natal sessions. 100% recommend giving it a try. I extend my deepest gratitude to Lori and the Earthside community.❤️🙏🏼

I had an amazing experience in doing prenatal yoga with Lori! Not only for keeping my body active, but also for preparing myself for birth & for being part of a wonderful community.

Lori is nothing short of amazing! Even during the quarantine she has managed to keep her community connected and engaged. She is offering several online classes via zoom and I have participated in three different classes (moms morning out workshop, pajama yoga and Saturday morning slow flow). These were all very different classes that offered their own unique spins that all helped relieve stress and anxiety and refocus you mind and body and calm things down (if even just for the duration of the class). I was able to do one of the classes outside while listening to nature. It felt great and totally helped me to reset. It was just what I needed! I can’t recommend Lori enough!! Especially during this stressful time!!

I have done the prenatal, mom and baby and the restorative yoga with Lori. I keep coming back because her classes are awesome! Each one offers exactly what one needs. The prenatal got me ready for delivering my baby girl. I couldn't have given birth without this class, it is THAT GOOD! Mom and baby allowed me to spend time with my little girl in a safe and judgement free zone, having some quality time doing amazing yoga! The restorative yoga is UNBELIEVABLE! The most relaxed I've ever been in life! Seriously it's so amazing to spend some alone time focusing on me and rejuvenating my mind and body. I look forward to the class every month! Please join any of the classes and become a better you! It's so worth it! The Earthside community is so awesome and supportive you won't regret coming to any of her classes!

Lori is an exceptional yoga professional and human being. She's always creating healing environments for moms to be and moms. I fortunately met her very early in my pregnancy with my first born and now me and my baby have been attending together our mommy baby yoga class and we love it. I've met wonderful people at my yoga classes and for sure I have a community where to rely thanks to Lori.

I did a few rounds of prenatal yoga before having my daughter and I also did mommy and baby yoga after she was born. First, Lori is an amazing and supportive human being who happens to teach yoga as well. I felt so supported through my pregnancy and felt like I had a place to normalize what was going on with my body. The yoga really helped me along the way but especially in delivery: “relax, release” was my mantra. My nurses told me I was one of the calmest patients they’d had. (Spoiler alert: people in my life do NOT describe me as calm). I really attribute this to Lori’s classes and support! If you’re looking for a community of moms, support and peace, this is the place for you!

This class in unlike any other - in the best way possible. Lori is a fantastic yoga instructor and source of information for so many things regarding pregnancy. The class is so peaceful, allows you to bond with other mamas, and also strengthens and prepares your mind and body for labor and postpartum. I cannot say enough positive things. I took this class with my first and my family couldn’t believe how calm I was through hours of labor (thanks to learning how to breathe properly and focus). The first thing I did when I found out I was pregnant with my second was sign up for this class. Prenatal yoga is by far the best thing I’ve done for myself as a mama. You will love the strength you’ll gain, the friendships you’ll form and the faith you’ll have in yourself.

I can’t imahine having gone through my pregnancy without this class. As a first time mom the community of women at this class was such a benefit and it was so special to share my journey and be a part of theirs as well. I learned a lot about my body, my baby & how to prepare for birth - then I put it to the test during labor and I was so thankful to be well-prepared. Lori is kind and she creates such a warm, welcoming environment. Do this for yourself & your baby. You’ll be so glad that you did!

I began taking prenatal yoga with Lori during my second trimester, and it was exactly what I was missing. It felt great to get some exercise, and I learned different techniques to incorporate into my daily life to relieve aches and pains. Many problems pregnant women experience I was able to avoid, and I give the credit to prenatal yoga. A lot of time is spent on spinal balance and hip flexibility, I never once felt off balance during my pregnancy! I left every week feeling refreshed, body and mind. The benefits didn't end physically; there was a great sense of community, and it was great to be surrounded with positive thoughts and feelings regarding pregnancy and childbirth! Lori continued to be a wonderful help to me as a new mother with breastfeeding, introducing solids, and moral support during some sleepless nights. I recommend Earthside to all my friends, and the smart ones listen!
