One of the best Shalas in town!

This is one of the top studios in Chicago.

Yoganow has excellent workshops and a very knowledge group of instructors with a wide variety of yoga classes. There are many very dedicated students and instructors at YogaNow that can be intimdating for new comers.

Reading the other review comments, it seems the one downside is getting yourself integrated. If you go to a beginners class and make it known you are new, you will very likely get a warm reception and extra attention. The owner if very well regarded in the yoga community on many levels. This is a long term studio to align yourself for yoga as well as other holistic endeavors.

• Pros: Very high quality instructors, wide variety of classes, top notch workshops
• Cons: No free parking - metered or validation

Most Pretentious Yoga Studio Ever

by stephharies at Citysearch

I have been practicing yoga for about 3 or 4 years now, and I decided to come here to try something new. First of all, it's a nice studio, I'll give it that. The people however, are unbearable. I've noticed that its nearly all women all the time, and everyone there seems to have this air of "if you don't already know the answer to the question you're about to ask, you may as well leave." I felt very uncomfortable here, and would not go back. Definitely not for serious yoga students, as this place seems to care more about appearances and "the scene" than identifying students who really want to learn.

• Pros: Beautiful studio space
• Cons: Pretentious instructors and staff

Very Relaxing yet professional, highly recommend

Every time I go to Yoga Now I get a new experience with staff who are friendly, helpful, non judgmental, and very knowledgeable. I love that each class I?ve taken has helped me learn more while building upon what I already know. The instructors I?ve had have always pointed out the benefits of each asana and demonstrated how to safely flow through them. They also stress the importance of listening to your own body and taking a comfortable pose if needed. Beginner classes truly are for the beginner while more advanced classes provide appropriate challenges.

I highly recommend checking this place out.

• Pros: Lots of instructors to choose from, lots of fun!
• Cons: Parking, bring a buck or two in quarters as there is normally meter parking available on Wells street (one block west)
