Detroit Evolution Laboratory
Dedicated to Health, Joy and Liberation!

Detroit Evolution Laboratory is a unique space in historic Eastern Market. The Lab is designed to facilitate and promote the exploration of healthy & sustainable tools, techniques and concepts that empower individuals and communities. Offering Yoga, Vegan & Raw Food kitchen classes, workshops on diverse topics, a community library, a lunar cycle art series, evolutionary music and special crossed-legged events, the Lab serves as a healthy and mindful gathering place and resource for our city and region.

Informed and inspired by Permaculture, the Transition Movement and Eastern, Western, and Indigenous explorations of Consciousness Expansion, we actively promote that an Urban-Agrarian, Sustainable, and Soulful lifestyle will facilitate Detroit’s survival and its future success as a relocalized city. Detroit Evolution Laboratory's focus is wide and favors radical creativity, exploring and sharing diverse aspects of culture from food & art to yoga & music. The Lab promotes other individuals, organizations, and businesses with complementary missions and goals for Detroit through active participation in projects and events throughout the city.

Community-Based Yoga at the Lab
These secrets of yoga are within the hearts of everyone. ~Yoga Rahasya III.29

Community-based Yoga is taught specifically for the students in attendance. Yoga is first and foremost about the breath and does not refer to our experience or physical flexibility. In the Lab we find common ground daily and practice from that point. Doors open a half an hour prior to class, mats are available at no charge, and beginners are welcome to any class!
