CocoonCare

In my third trimester, I went to «The Final Push» workout classes led by Kassandra almost every weekend. I would describe it as a mix of aerobics/​jazzercise, strength training, and yoga/​stretching, which I loved. The classes were not too easy and not too challenging.
CocoonCare has a very friendly atmosphere, and I love that they offer postnatal classes so that after you have your baby, you can find a mommy support group, get back in shape, and/​or attend a class to further your baby’s development. Another plus = it’s very easy to find parking in the area!

Cocooncare has been awesome during my pregnancy. I go at least 4 times a week to weights, cardio and barre classes, and love that you can sign up for the classes through the mind body app or online. The teachers are all really great, and they push you (but not to any point where it is unsafe for you and your baby). If you’re considering joining a gym or attending classes for prenatal weights, cardio, yoga, etc– you should definitely check it out. They also allow you to bring your baby post-​partum and have mommy and me classes, if that’s if interest to you!

My baby and I love Cocoon Care. We’ve been going to the Child Space classes with Sandy for about 3 months off and on and they have been amazing. Highly recommended. I would go to more baby classes, but I work during the week so I am limited to weekend options.

After searching for a while for prenatal yoga, I am so glad I came across this place. I couldn’t be happier with the variety of classes they offer. Very friendly instructors. The facility is clean and inviting. Alok, the owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. When my baby is born, I will definitely continue coming here. I highly recommend this place to any mommy to be!

Highly recommend the studio! Love ALL the prenatal yoga classes, yoga on the ball or final push. teachers are great, very experienced with pregnant women and I am really happy I found this studio in my 4^th month, so that I could continue attending the classes till delivery. The classes are small, which is another plus– highly recommend!

Without this place my pregnancy would have been very different. I first signed up with a 10 pack for the prenatal yoga. I then was a member for months 6 – 9 and it was soooo helpful to have these classes to keep me active. Prenatal yoga on the ball was excellent with Katie — she’s an amazing instructor. The exercise classes were also great, it’s something to do for yourself and your baby that will help you stay healthy and have a shorter labor. [Now I’ll never know what my labor would have been like without taking these classes, but I had a very short, uncomplicated and unmedicated birth — only 3 hours in the hospital before my baby was born.]
Now I’m back at Cocoon Care for Baby and Me Yoga and looking forward to trying some postnatal workout classes once my baby is old enough to reliably chill during the class.

It’s a wonderful place for prenatal workout! My favorite class is The Final Push by– kassandra and Barre by– Karli!

Love this place. I’ve been coming for a month and a half and I just love their pre natal yoga classes. I’m a regular yoga practitioner and I find the instruction to be very solid. Plus the environment is so pretty and calming. They have classes during times that a working girl can do, which is surprisingly hard to find in River North. The three month membership includes free yoga for a partner too which is awesome. So glad I found them!

Cocoon care is a wonderful place for pre and post natal classes. They have a variety of different options to choose from, including yoga, cardio, massages and work shops. Each instructor brings their unique style to the class and no two classes are the same keeping it fun and interesting every time. As an expectant mother the yoga classes and cardio classes have really helped keep my body active and my mind happy. Being pregnant does not mean you have to stop being active and this is the perfect place to continue a happy and healthy lifestyle.

I can’t say enough great things about this place! I joined around 5 weeks pregnant and continued my membership through 9 months (due any day now!). The classes are absolutely excellent and the instructors could not be more accommodating. Having such a lovely place to go throughout pregnancy really helped me keep my sanity and I always left feeling great, knowing the workouts were safe and beneficial for both baby and I. The owners are extremely professional, friendly and really care about each and every member. I would recommend the unlimited package so you can try out all of the classes they offer. I credit this place for helping me to feel great and stay healthy and active throughout my entire pregnancy. I can’t wait to get back post baby!!!

I highly recommend Cocoon Care to expectant as well as post-​partum mothers. I discovered it while I was on maternity leave so can only speak to the post-​natal classes, but I wish I had known about it while I was pregnant. The classes were great – very personalized attention. There were modifications given for every fitness level. I took the post-​natal fitness, pre/​post natal yoga, Baby and me yoga, and Core-​tastic classes and loved each one.

Congratulations on your little bundle. :)
Cocoon care deserves an A+ from start to finish!

So, head to Cocoon care and talk to the owner Alok, he will guide you through and recommend the classes fit for you. :)

I have been coming to Cocoon Care for about a month and cannot say enough good things about their Prenatal workouts.
Prior to getting pregnant I loved any type of workout that would work up a sweat. When I passed the first trimester and started looking a different prenatal classes around the city, I couldn’t seem to find any classes that felt like a workout once I was finished.
Cocoon Care has provided me with a prenatal safe environment but I always leave sweating and smiling :) Alok, the owner is so friendly and they really know how to work with your body type and energy level week to week.
I would recommend this center for all expecting moms and cannot wait to bring my baby here!

Great facility! Great music class. Very clean, organized and nice place to go with your kids for music time. I went with my 11 month old daughter and she loved it. And it was a good bonding experience as well. I am a full time working mom and never really get «quality» time with her so it was really nice. I was also impressed by their kids play room downstairs. I haven’t used their child services but I would if I needed to.

My baby and I LOVE CocoonCare! We travel from Lincoln Park to take the classes. If I had to describe it in one sentence I would say: It is like a spa for expectant mommies and mommies and babies! The owner is so nice and helpful. My little one enjoys the sing-​a-​longs, Child’sPace, and stroller workout.

CocoonCare has been a great & really convenient resource! I’m 29 weeks pregnant now. They provide everything you need to be healthy & informed during and after your pregnancy all in once place — birthing classes, exercise, massage, nutrition, and even lactation consults. I attend their yoga and body toning classes. Both provide a good challenge, without making me feel like I’m overexerting myself. The instructors also provide a good amount of individual attention. I love that they offer childcare and post-​natal classes. I can see myself coming here for a while after I give birth. They even offer classes for your child that are included with the membership! The location is also convenient — near the Brown line and there is always plenty of street parking nearby. I will definitely be recommending CocoonCare to friends!

I don’t know how I found this place, but I’m so glad that I did. I am not a «gym» person and typically feel very uncomfortable attending classes, etc. However, the owner made me feel so incredibly welcome! I started attending prenatal yoga at 9 weeks. All of the yoga instructors are great but my personal favorite is Veronica. She is very hands on and explains how the different poses can benefit you during pregnancy and labor.
I’m now 31 weeks and have begun attending the total body workouts as well as using the cardio equipment. Kailee, the instructor for total body, is amazing. She is encouraging and really positive!
I am hoping that after giving birth I will be able to get myself back here to get in shape!

LOVE Cocoon Care! I believe it is because of their prenatal exercise classes that I stayed in shape throughout my pregnancy leading to a much easier birth and recovery. I took their total body workout, yoga and final push classes and loved them all. The instructors are all prenatal certified, attentive and very knowledgable. I loved how they would begin each class asking about both injuries and focus areas from participants — lots of individual attention!
My baby is now a few weeks old and as soon as I’m clear to exercise, I am going to check out their classes for new moms. I can’t wait to get back to Cocoon Care!

Love this place! As soon as I got pregnant, I started looking around for a good studio to do prenatal yoga. Quick background on me: I’d been doing pretty hardcore Ashtanga and Forrest yoga nearly every day, but suddenly my energy felt totally drained all the time and keeping up with an intense practice just wasn’t in the cards. Plus, as a first-​time mom-​to-​be, I was pretty paranoid about making sure all the moves I was doing were safe and baby-​approved. (Sure, everyone at every gym/​studio loves to say «Yeah, yeah, it’s safe,» but how many of those trainers are actually certified in prenatal yoga/​exercise? At CocoonCare, they are, which is huge.)
After some googling early in my pregnancy, I came across Cocoon Care and had to pinch myself. A gym/​yoga studio specifically for expecting and new moms? With seminars and classes about being a mom? And a place to meet other moms-​to-​be? All just a short drive from my neighborhood? Was I making this place up?
Turns out, no. It’s for real. Excellent prenatal yoga classes — both Cassie and Kat are fantastic! Fun events to meet other moms-​to-​be. And a lovely, calming space. I took one Saturday morning yoga class and have been hooked ever since. A perfect escape for moms-​to-​be. Can’t comment yet on the postnatal classes, but looking forward to participating in that with my little one when the time comes! :)

CocoonCare is my new home! I am 21 weeks pregnant with my first child and have been wanting to get into prenatal yoga. What I found was that and SO much more! Kiran and Alok are incredibly warm and welcoming. I felt like I belonged there from the moment I walked in the door. Pre and post natal work out classes, exercise equipment, massage therapy, workshops, cozy lounge area with snacks and more in the works! I love the vision they have of CocoonCare being a social homebase — a place where expectant and new moms can come and chat, hang out, get support and feel at home.
Beautiful facilities (two workout rooms, massage therapy area and restrooms with showers), educated and fun instructors and an overall good vibe. They also have plans for child care so you can drop off your child before a workout or workshop. Their website is informative and it is easy to sign up for classes and find out more. They have thought of everything and have so much more in store! I am thrilled to know about this place at the perfect time in my life. Very blessed by my experience thus far.
