Next Yoga

There is a long list of positives: a variety of classes, clean studio, reasonably priced membership rates, wonderful music, cold towels at the end of class and superb instructors* who make every effort to accommodate the new and experienced yogis. At a minimum, those who are undecided should take advantage of a free week of yoga. Why not?! *I have no affiliation with the studio, the owner (s) or any of the instructors. Based on the preceding disclaimer, I bet you can figure out what I do for a living.

I LOVE this studio. I am a yoga teacher myself so I’m pretty picky. It is on par with the amazing places I can only find in downtown Chicago. It has the feel of those urban studios as well. I used to go to those kinds of studios when I worked in the Loop and was sad when my rotation ended and I switched locations. I’m a person who is majorly impacted by ambiance, and this place is exactly my style and makes me love it much more than the other hot studios in the burbs.
It offers different levels of heat so you can choose how sweaty you get. It also offers a good blend of vinyasa, restorative, «traditional» which is bikrahm like (which I’m really not a fan of at all, but I know some people live and die by this style!), and yoga/weight’s classes (even a non yoga bootcamp class, which I havent taken but its great they offer variety)
The owners are super friendly and learned my face very quickly and the instructors are very competent and very friendly and personable. I have yet to take a class with an instructor that I didn’t like (and there’s usually always one at every studio that I just don’t like their classes for some reason)!
The only con, which can happen every where and isn’t really the fault of the studio (so it still gets 5 stars!), is because it’s very close to a college you do get a few college kids who have never taken a yoga class who can be very loud/​giggly/​chatty in the studio before (when it’s supposed to be a quite meditative space) which I get it’s good to have fun but it can be distracting and is a huge pet peeve of mine, when before class when I’m trying to «arrive on my mat» and settle in after a long day at work. It’s only happened once or twice and the studio has a big sign on the studio door to be quite, and the staff is usually pretty good at reminding new folks of this, but I think it happens more with college kids than when you draw from a slightly more mature crowd.
Overall the best studio in the area, and the one suburban one I will go to. I promptly canceled my other memberships and joined this one.

Really great studio! Beautifully decorated but more importantly they have such knowledgable teachers! Love the Hot Class and Body Rock class!!!
