3 Best Yoga Studios in Chicago, IL

I have been a regular at the Southloop corepower for 2 1/2 years. Hand down the friendliest corepower in the city. I love all teachers: Andrea, Erin, Amanda and all the team. I wanted to do a shot out to Gitana who teach HPF on Sunday at 6:30am. Yes, you need motivation to be at the studio on Sunday at 6:30am but she is worth waking up early. She has a contagious energy and kindness. She is so fun and natural and makes the same flow so different each time just by tweaking little things. I am always looking forward to come early on Sunday, just because of Gitana. So thanks Gitana for being an amazing teacher and human.

This location represents all that CorePower is about. Great instructors, clean studio and hot studio for a great yoga experience. I highly recommend this location. The West Loop location is the one that needs significant attention around the cleanliness of the location.

I’ve taken several CorePower Yoga classes with Erin, and she is absolutely fantastic! She creates an energizing and welcoming atmosphere that makes every session both challenging and rewarding. Her instructions are clear, her sequences flow seamlessly, and she always offers helpful modifications and adjustments for different skill levels. Highly recommend.

This place is AMAZING. I started with the 10-day unlimited introductory pass for $75, and it was a perfect way to determine if this was a good fit for my practice (spoiler: it was!). It is super convenient that everything is included, so the only thing to worry about it showing up on time. I bring my own water bottle, to fill at their water bottle filling station, but they have bottles to borrow if you don't want to even worry about that. The classes are ALL amazing (I am partial to the Yin), as are ALL of the instructors. I have been going almost daily for 2 months, and cannot think of a single negative thing. All of the instructors are SO incredibly nice, genuine, supportive, and accommodating. The studio is so clean, well-maintained, and truly has everything you need. I also appreciate that it isn't "too big", as well as the private 30 minute session per month with my unlimited membership. Being a 7 minute walk from the Red Line and 30 second walk from the Brown/Purple Line, it is a super convenient option for those of us who prefer not to drive and worry about parking (though there is always street parking available, from what I can tell).

Absolutely LOVE Ritual. My Mondays and Fridays at Ritual have become parts of my week that I really look forward to. Alyx is an exceptional teacher. The flows that she creates are so intentional and string together so beautifully (every. single. time.). She never misses a beat. Not to mention, she is just a warm, welcoming face to see at 5:45am! Ritual has done a wonderful job offering a variety of classes for those that want to slow down with “yin” and for those that want to push it with “hot yoga”. There is so much opportunity to grow in the areas most important to you. I cannot recommend Ritual Yoga more.

My favorite yoga studio out of the countless I've tried! Their flows are definitely challenging, but that's part of the appeal. If you're new to hot yoga, I believe they recommend starting with their yin class to get a feel for the heat. They offer various levels of postures, so there's something for everyone from beginners to advanced yogis. A special shoutout to Nicole K – she's very kind and an amazing teacher. One of the best parts- the mini massage and cold eucalyptus towel.
