From the reviews

Took the Sunday 8:30 - 9:30am Power Vinyasa class with Dianne B. and she was awesome. Love how she incorporated inversions in her practice and some ab strengthening workouts. I've practiced yoga for years and I think she did a great job at challenging me. Very excited to try more classes at the Vernon Hills location.

I just recently started yoga practice at Forever OM and I am hooked. I love the practice, the instructors are all fabulous, the atmosphere is invigorating, and the community is encouraging. I have practiced with several of the different teachers.

★★★★★ — Joan, Feb 2017

LOVE FOREVER OM! The yoga room is beautiful and the instructors are kind and very helpful which makes it a little piece of paradise. Forget the gym! If you're looking to get in shape, challenge yourself and gain a little peace of mind, go to Forever Om.

★★★★★ — Jennifer, Jul 2016

I absolutely love Forever Om. I have been attending classes at the new Vernon Hills location since it opened. I did not expect to like hot yoga at first. I was nervous about practicing in 90 degrees and high humidity. I am so glad I gave it a shot. I'm not sure I can go back to a non hot yoga class.

Teacher training at Forever Om Yoga

Forever Om 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 Forever Om 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.

Heat and intense exercise aren't right for everyone — if you're pregnant or have heart, blood-pressure, or other health concerns, check with a doctor before your first hot class.
