Our Classes
Family Dance Jam
Coming Soon!
Movement that feels like joy, not a workout. Good music, real fun, and a room open to everyone, families, kids, and adults without kids too. No dance background needed, just a willingness to move. Side by side with a parent or caregiver, kids get to build coordination and confidence while letting out big energy in the best way.
Family Yoga Practice
Coming Soon!
Yoga for every body, beginner first. Open to families, kids, and adults without kids too. This practice trains the body and mind to work together, steadying the breath and calming the nervous system. Kids build balance, coordination, and body awareness alongside real tools for big feelings, while caregivers learn those same tools right beside them.

Serving Families Across Metro Detroit
The People's Wellness Center welcomes families from Troy, Clawson, Royal Oak, Ferndale, and across Metro Detroit.

Help us open our doors!
We've spent years teaching out of our home, on Zoom, and in rented spaces. Now we're ready for a home of our own.
Thanks to grants through the Detroit Pride Chamber of Commerce, our online operating costs are covered for a year, including insurance, our kids' yoga and dance certifications, class props and supplies, and our website and scheduling software.
What we're still looking for is a home. We're dreaming of a big, clean, modern wellness center with room for kids and families to move together. We're now raising funds to get that space open.
$10,000 — lease deposit
$10,000 — first 3 months rent
$10,000 — equipment and setup
Every dollar goes straight toward opening our doors.

-Jenny, Berkley
“It had been years since my last yoga class, and I felt completely at home from the very first pose. It's the most beginner-friendly class I've ever taken.”
-Sarah, Royal Oak
“With Rockin' with the Roses, I get real movement every Saturday from the space of my own home, easy to follow and joyful to do, and it's often closes my watch activity rings. Great range of music, from the 70s to today.”
