Chicago Hot Yoga — Attraction in Lake View Township

3 years ago, while being totally new to yoga, I was buying Groupons to different studios to get familiar and see what's going on around in Chicago yoga world. At some point, one of them (those Groupons) was for the unlimited month to Be Yoga Andersonville. After few classes, I felt I definitely resonate with the vibe of this place. Teachers, and especially one teacher was so gentle yet demanding, and so "students dedicated" that correcting me (and others) and paying attention to the proper asanas form turned out to be priceless in getting me better and better with my practice. Whole practice with them in the hot room felt somehow special and different than for example just simple hatha yoga in regular yoga places. I came there with an addiction problem, heat of the room, hence intense sweating was truly cleaning my system. Teacher advice and guidance were helping me to see results and at the same time enforced a discipline. For now, I've started my 3rd year with Be Yoga Andersonville. During this time I was able to transform my body, loose weight, get in shape, appreciate and understand my body as a vehicle for this life and by such understanding I've overcome my more than decade-long addiction. I've understood how to love myself! and that completely changed my life! Give them a shot! They are so welcoming and friendly! They will become your family! and you will become a new and better person! Definitely the best decision of my life (on top of going Vegan) Love and Light to...

I highly recommend you visit this studio if you are considering trying Bikram Yoga or just want to find out about this practice for the following reasons:

Every instructor provides very precise guided instruction for each posture! This has been very helpful as I have a greater understanding of how to do each one! My former studio moved us through the postures, but followed the Bikram Yoga script without further explanation or guidance. Also this studio will demonstrate small details to do which can improve the posture or make it easier to do.

What I find extra special with all the instructors is their one to one guidance or suggestions for students which is done in a quiet and personal manner. Each one is welcoming to all new students providing encouragement and support.

Also, each instructor is very knowledgeable as to how to alter a posture to accommodate special physical needs or injuries so each posture will be beneficial for you. They are watchful and make certain everyone is cared for during the class.

I am nearing seventy years old and find the studio fun and very friendly toward seniors. I have seen my postures improve with their guidance. This practice and their support will help me live a more physically healthy life and I hope to continue practicing for as long as I am able, hopefully well into my nineties!

I want to thank all the instructors for their encouragement and...

Truly a great yoga studio for all levels. Cat is my favorite instructor but every instructor I had was awesome. What I love:

1. clear instructions from the instructors
2. they care about every student - they always find opportunities for you to improve the posture throughout the class and do their best to remember your name starting from your first session
3. everyone is very respectful and focused
4. always start in time - I’ve been within 3min late to classes and I couldn’t get into the practice room because the door is locked at start time, and I don’t mind it because it means there won’t be people entering late to the class when I’m in the class
5. a good variety of classes - even when I’m in more intermediate class the instructor always gives alternatives to a posture that I can work on

I sit in front of my laptop all day long for work, and my whole body feels so much better after each practice, and it also helps relieve stress and my hearing loss has improved a lot since I started practicing. I even convinced my husband to start practicing and he enjoys it too. Highly...
