The Lab Yoga Studio — Local services in West Chicago Township

Updated review for 200 hr teacher training:

After a few months of regularly attending classes at The Lab, I signed up for their 200hr yoga teacher training. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I can't imagine a more comprehensive, balanced yoga training exists in Chicago. Chris and Wade complement each other perfectly, both of them bringing in 20 + years of experience and a genuine desire to help students by meeting them where they're at. Over the course of the training, they managed to make each person in our group of 25 feel seen and supported. They were encouraging, reliable, communicative and happy to be there. I had many injuries and was not an advanced student when I began my TT, so I was worried that I would stick out and hold back the group. Instead, I was taught modifications and learned many valuable tricks that I plan to use when teaching those with limitations. If you are thinking about doing a teacher training with The Lab, take this as your sign from the universe - you won't regret it.

Studio review: If you're looking for an inclusive yoga studio with teachers who care about their students, this is the place. I had a major health setback in 2021 that involved multiple surgeries and radiation.I wanted to get back into yoga, but I was afraid - I knew some teachers pushed too hard. A friend told me about this place and suggested I reach directly out to the owner, Chris. He was incredibly thoughtful and attentive on our phone call and helped me decide which classes were a good fit. Over the last few months, every teacher I've taken a class with has been beyond supportive. There is something truly special about the little community that The Lab has created and I would recommend this spot to anyone, regardless of where they're at in their yoga journey.

ps: shoutout to Piper and her...

I started going to The Lab about 1.5 years ago upon signing up for a Groupon, 10 classes for $20. Amazing deal! I'd never done yoga before and also lived in the suburbs. From the pictures I'd seen of the studio I had fallen in love with it.

I go pretty regularly on Sunday mornings at 10 am with Soren as my instructor. I absolutely love her. The class is described as Level 1-2, but really is a Level 2. Fortunately, the class size is usually under 15 and Soren is fantastic about showing modifications and she's always good about walking around repositioning your body into correct form. I've been to many yoga studios and I can honestly say, you will not get the individual attention like you do at The Lab. And you'll walk out of class feeling like you've really worked hard and motivated to come back to another class to conquer a new pose.

For one year I traveled 30 miles to this studio and now I've moved into the Lakeview neighborhood. I could easily go to other studios near me, but I will always continue to go to The Lab and recruit my...

The Lab Yoga Studio by instructor Wade is truly exceptional. His professionalism and dedication to teaching the art of yoga are undeniable. Wade not only possesses a deep knowledge of various yoga styles but also effectively imparts insights into the health and spiritual benefits of the practice.

The atmosphere in the studio is pleasant and conducive to relaxation, allowing for a profound focus during sessions. Wade ensures that every participant feels comfortable and appropriately accommodated based on their physical abilities. His personalized approach enables even those with physical limitations to derive benefits from yoga.

Wade adeptly tailors the intensity of sessions to the group's proficiency level, striking a balance between challenge and safety. This yoga studio under Wade's guidance is not just a place for physical exercise; it's where we nurture mental tranquility and spiritual harmony. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a deeper understanding and...
