Adjacent to their current
Old Town location at 108 E. Grand River Ave.,
Hilltop Yoga
now rents 800 additional square feet of space at 110 E. Grand River Ave., making room
for specialized yoga classes and massage therapy. Luckily, the former
tenant of the 110 address was a wood carver, so the interior was already
decorated with hand-carved woodwork.
“We are so thankful [for] how nice it is,” says Hilltop business manager and instructor
Annie Topie. “It’s beautiful.”
The
new location opened June 7 and is used for specialized or private yoga
classes as well as massage therapy, a service Hilltop wants to
emphasize in their business. “This is a nice
massage environment, and there is always room to grow,” says Topie.
They are also fans of their surrounding environment. “Old Town is such a unique area, and it’s getting busier. We want to contribute to that, too,” Topie says.
With
more than 35 instructors, Hilltop offers 60- to 90-minute classes seven
days a week at their Haslett and Old Town locations. Hilltop’s
repertoire now includes meditation, massage and various styles of
introductory and advanced yoga classes.
“We
try to offer a range for beginners up to experts because we want our
customers to feel comfortable,” says Topie, who has been an instructor
at Hilltop for three years.
