From the reviews
Great place to take care of your body and mind. Great instructors... very encouraging and helpful. After day at work it will allowed you to detache yourself from everyday events and just concentrate on your breathing and sequence of yoga poses. Still "good old" yoga studio. Now the limit of participant has increased.
I am visiting from Louisville and believe I came to the same yoga studio I discovered back in 2009! Full circle. I absolutely loved the class and Marita was an excellent teacher. If you're in the area highly highly recommend
I haven’t done a backbend/handstand or yoga in over 10 years. By week 3 I was able to gain strength, flexibility and manage a successful handstand & back bend. I work out a lot and sit at a desk throughout the week and did not have confidence I’d be able to restore an ounce of flexibility.
Absolutely phenomenal class experience Dana. As a Hatha yoga instructor myself, I was in the headspace the Bikram Yoga was not going to be for me. However, Dana really set the tone for class from the moment I walked in. Her class was very easy to understand and i felt immediately at home and focused.
Teacher training at Chicago Hot Yoga
Chicago Hot Yoga comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first hot yoga class at Chicago Hot Yoga
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
