Yoga has been growing in popularity immensely over the last handful of years, especially. With many people seeking it out solely as a form of exercise, there are many studios opening that also treat it as exercise, rather than the classical form of yoga which involves both physical and mental abilities. For the people that want to train themselves in both spiritual and mental forms, these are some of the best yoga studios around Chicagoland. No matter what your skill level is, you will be able to find a place that you feel relaxed in.

Ahimsa Yoga Studio

Ahimsa has such a wide range of classes, workshops and events that it would be hard not to keep coming back. On top of that, the atmosphere is one of the most relaxing in the city. The instructors have patience and speak a universal language that everyone can understand, especially when it comes to poses. They also take the time to interact with each and every person if needed. Ahimsa is great for beginners especially– but anyone that appreciates a relaxing location will be right at home.

Bloom Yoga Studio

Bloom may have a great venue, but where they shine is with their instructors. Each one has their own unique style of routine, but all are top-notch teachers. They offer prenatal yoga classes that are said to be phenomenal– unfortunately, I won’t ever be able to experience what all of the women are raving about but I believe them. If you feel like reaching an entirely new level, schedule a massage before your after your yoga class to be in complete bliss.
