D-Biz: Eastern Market's Detroit Flyhouse takes fitness into the air

From a studio at FD Lofts in Eastern Market, Micha Adams operates Detroit Flyhouse, a yoga studio that doubles as a home for aerial arts. "It's like yoga, dance and flying combined," she says. "We have ages seven to 70, all different body types and strength levels."

Adams offers eight-week aerial yoga classes. She explains that, like most forms of exercise, it builds strength and fitness, but being in the air has other benefits as well. "It is a huge self-confidence strengthener," she says. "It's a controlled, safe environment with people who encourage you to take healthy risks."

Detroit Flyhouse launched in another space one year ago and moved into its current location in February. "The space is perfect," says Adams. "It gets a lot of traffic and we have these giant fire doors that we keep open all the time, which piques interest."

Anyone interested in checking out the aerial arts has plenty of chances in the coming months. The Flyhouse will be at the People's Art Festival at Russell Industrial Center this weekend and at the Dally in the Alley on Sept. 12. A full schedule can be found here.
