A recent review of Blue Sky Studio prompted me to write this review, which has been a long time coming. I have always been an active person, but I took a hiatus from much physical activity/time for myself after having both of my children. In December of 2013, a few of my husband's coworkers suggested that I try a kickboxing class at Blue Sky. From the very first class, I was hooked. My first night there I met Angie, who made me feel right at home. She is so inspirational. Not only did she help me to get an amazing workout during the kickboxing class, but she also helped me to reignite my passion for practicing yoga. Since that time I have found a home away from home at Blue Sky. I have participated in many of the classes and offerings through Blue Sky, and I have even been able to ignite a love of yoga in my daughter, who is five. The studio offers classes to all levels of students and the teachers are all amazing at what they do. For anyone new to yoga or the studio, they even offer a free "karma" class on Saturday mornings. I do not know of any other studio that offers this weekly, and I have been practicing yoga for 15 years. I was truly heartbroken to read a recent review of this studio, as it was not from someone who had ever been to this location or who had experienced its environment and participants. I ask you to not make a judgment unless you have visited the space. Angie has been so inspirational in my life and in the lives of others; I would hate for anyone to not be able to experience the amazing opportunities that I and so many people have due to one poor and unfair review. My life has truly changed for the better thanks to the Blue Sky community, and I have never been happier. read more

I joined the Blue Sky community in December and couldn't be happier with my experience. I have found the studio to be a perfect fit for my fitness needs and a welcoming community. I regularly participate in kickboxing classes, as well as yoga and kick bootie classes. I've been to a variety of yoga classes and there are truly classes for every level. Each teacher has been interested in getting to know me and what I'm bringing to the yoga mat. They have been accommodating for injuries and encouraging us to work at our own level while offering a variety of options for each pose. Kickboxing is a phenomenal workout with a great community of women who support one another. Blue Sky also offers yoga classes for kids and a variety of workshops that sounds awesome (Yoga/Wine/Chocolate, Vision Boards, Yogassage, Mother/Daughter yoga class, etc.). I've also been participating in their New Year, New You health program where I've had to opportunity to meet with their owner weekly in order to apply a healthy eating and exercise plan to my life, have weekly check-ins, receive encouragement through social media and the Blue Sky community. I've had great success with the program and am looking forward to seeing more positive changes in my body and life. I'm so grateful to have found Blue Sky and blessed to live nearby. It's an excellent place that gives back to its community in many ways. They also have a really cute gift shop section that showcases reasonably priced jewelry made by local artists as well as artwork, candles, yoga and kickboxing gear. read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place ! If you are like me and got interested in yoga (or kickboxing ) ,but big, generic gym-sized classes,filled with army of lululemon dressed flawless suburban housewives gives you nightmares ( and so do the prices ), then BLUE SKY is the place for you ! Located downtown Libertyville , fits right in ! Cozy ,calming,personal ... walking into that place is like getting a big hug ! It is a family place ! Saturday morning they have Karma yoga FREE class ( nobody else does that,right ?),you can bring kids or your grandma ,because they love it and it is a lot of fun ! My 2nd grader comes to Friday's afternoon Tween Empower class and honestly I cant get her out of there :) There is TONS to choose from ! From Relax and restore to Acro yoga . Angie and all the other guys are wonderful, highly skilled ,caring and non-judgmental instructors who will remember your name , not your checking account . The prices are more then fair ,there is many different options and some kind of special is always going on ! 1st class is always FREE , so you get the opportunity to try it out and find out what exactly you are looking for . The owner Angie is truly amazing person . When we moved to Libertyville, as the "new people" it was lonely . But I found Blue Sky just steps from our house ,walked in and immediately fell in love with yoga and that whole community Angie is building there .Try it for yourself and you wont be disappointed :) read more

I have tried many exercise options in and around Libertyville. Blue Sky Studio is the first place I have been to that makes me feel comfortable, unique and capable. The instructors care about you and always remember your name. It is kind of like a family atmosphere without the dysfunction:) I went in to try the Cardio Kickbox class (first class is always free) and was instantly hooked. I worked at my pace in an encouraging and supportive environment. I have seen a huge difference in my mind and body over the last 3 weeks that I have been attending. I get bored with the same old classes that are offered by the other gyms in Libertyville. Blue Sky Teachers are experienced, people oriented, and able to keep the classes fresh and different every time you go! There are MANY different yoga classes offered. I have never tried yoga before. Saturday morning at 8:00 there is a free to the community beginners yoga class. LOVED IT! There is a new beginners yoga class that will be offered starting this Monday, August 4th at 7:00. What a perfect way to unwind your mind and body. If you want to change your mind, body, and life in a comfortable environment with caring, and supportive teachers then you MUST try BLUE SKY STUDIO. You will love it! read more

Blue Sky Studio rocks! Where else can you let some steam off after work with cardio kickboxing and then unwind even more by sticking around for a warm yoga class? All in a very welcoming, relaxed environment where everybody knows your name (or will learn it very quickly). And if you have kids, there are a whole bunch of classes and activities for kids, teens and families, which can promote the development of common interests and sharing more time together. Yes the classes and instructors are fantastic and diverse, the rates are affordable, and the atmosphere is an oasis in the midst of the vibrant downtown Libertyville business, shopping and nightlife scene. Blue Sky goes above and beyond the label of a yoga studio. The owner and staff really stress the importance of community through all kinds of unique workshops and efforts to make a positive impact outside the walls. Also, while other yoga studios can be intimidating to new students, Blue Sky is a place that really promotes self-expression and self-love in each and every person that walks through the door. Definitely a place worth checking out. Stop in and get involved! read more

I love Blue Sky Studio. I take the yoga classes and the cardio kickboxing classes and can't rave enough about how they make me feel and how wonderful the instructors are. The kickboxing class is the best I've ever been to because you actually get to punch and kick on a bag and not just the air. So you really feel like you get a complete workout. They also offer a free community yoga class on Saturday too that is really good. It teaches you the basics but every week I am still learning new poses. The studio is very family friendly and is such a positive and relaxing environment. Just concentrating on the best you can be.I love that there is no competition or intimidation at this studio. I also like that the classes I have been too can be adjusted to the level you are at. They are always showing you ways to increase or lower the intensity of your workout. So anyone of all abilities can workout and enjoy it. The owner Angie is amazing and so inspirational. I always look forward to my workouts at Blue Sky. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone!! read more

It was a recommendation from a friend that I first tried Blue Sky Yoga a couple of months ago. I've done yoga in the privacy of my own home for years, but have never been to a yoga studio before. I was a little intimated walking in the first time, but within a few minutes I was a ease. The instructors have all been so warm and welcoming that I wondered why it took me so long to actually try a yoga studio. It was my experience this past Saturday that has me writing a review though... Blue Sky prides itself on being family oriented, and it's because of this that I brought my 7 year old to her first yoga class. My daughter was immediately greeted by Angie the owner as soon as we walked in and I knew that she was welcomed there. Looking over at my daughter during class and watching her do her first "turtle" or "downward dog" with a smile on her face is a memory I will cherish forever. Thank-you Blue Sky! read more

Talk about a calorie burner! The kickboxing class at Blue Sky Yoga really kicks some serious butt! I am a work out junkie, on my quest to find the best work outs in all of Libertyville. I am new to the area and have been searching for a great place with killer work outs. As a martial artist, triathlete, competitive runner and overall work out junkie, I find that many work out facilities just don't offer the intensity I crave in an hour class. With Blue Sky Yoga's kickboxing class, participants are able to turn it up or down based on their abilities. But for all students, you can expect to burn at least 600 calories, work up the kind of sweat that requires a towel and leave fully energized, pumped and ready to take on the world! The trainers have the type of physique that we all desire, which shows that some killer kickboxing combined with yoga really does work. I will be coming back for more! read more

Cannot say enough about how AWESOME Blue Sky is! I love having new, fun and exciting ways to stay in shape and after paying $$$ for a local boot camp where they were more focused on weight loss-which I didn't need-then maintaining a healthy mind and body, I started looking for alternative and more affordable options! Thankfully a friend of mine recommended I join her for a kickboxing class after work one day-first class is free?? Why not?!? I am now a loyal Thursday night kick boxer and am excited to try out the other classes too! Angie does a great job of keeping the classes affordable and the atmosphere fun and inviting! I love that she takes the time to get to know EVERYONE that walks into the studio. I've already recruited three people to the studio and cannot wait to bring more into the Blue Sky family! read more

Blue Sky Yoga is a wonderful new yoga studio that I can't say enough about. I actually look forward in attending yoga and kickboxing classes. Angie the owner and the entire staff are very knowledgeable, kind, and have lots of patience. The yoga is very relaxing and we are encouraged to go at our own pace! I especially like the end ritual where you lie flat on your back and chill and then some lavender essential oils are placed on your temples and you can literally smell that scent all day! The studio is very family oriented and all ages are welcomed. We are so fortunate to have a studio in the area that is so inviting and giving! I have referred many people and all feel the same as I do. I'm sure Blue Sky will be around for a very long time! read more

Blue Sky is a great place to be and the owner is awesome. Being new to yoga and kick boxing I was a little intimidated to try it but the owner Angie is so welcoming to all levels and truly encouraging to work at your own personal best. She is incredibly knowledgeable about both disciplines and does an amazing job explaining technique and form. Kick boxing was a heck of a work out. It is also a fabulous family friendly place. My 8 yr old loves coming with me, and Angie has the patience of a saint. I would highly recommend this place, it's a place to go to get a great workout, in a noncompetitive environment where you leave feeling a little bit better about yourself. read more

Blue Sky Studio is awesome! Yoga and kickboxing classes are offered...such a great balance! Angie, the owner, is an incredible teacher and quickly becomes your friend. Different classes are offered every day. Early riser? There's a 5:45 a.m. yoga class. Mid-morning better for you? There's a 9 a.m. kickboxing class. Can't get out of the house until the kids are settled? There's an 8 p.m. yoga class. There's is a free yoga class every Saturday morning at 8 a.m. Great merchandise is offered too...jewelry, yoga pants, essential oils. I would encourage anyone to give Blue Sky a try...you won't be sorry. read more

Pleasantly suprised by this studio. Angie is extremely welcoming, creating a real community feel to the class- one of the most unpretentious yoga studios that I have been to. After only going for one class, I know that the move to a bigger and better studio will only bring good things. Sad that I do not live in Chicago to experience it for myself. After catching 6 flights in 2 weeks, this class gave my mind and body the reset it needed. read more

I went to Blue Sky with my sister to try the kickboxing class for free (first class is always free! AWESOME!) and absolutely fell in love with it! It is a great combination of the circuit style workout and kickboxing. They always have great deals to make the class packages affordable and everyone is always so kind and motivating! I never feel judged and always leave feeling sweaty and energized! Great studio!! read more

Blue Sky is a wonderful yoga + kick boxing studio located in downtown Libertyville! The teachers are supportive and encouraging, always looking out for everyone. It is a friendly and safe space, and there are enough options to cater to varied interests. I have been to classes taught by Angie, Laura and Erin so far; and I like them all. I would recommend Blue Sky with confidence! read more

I can't say enough how much I LOVE this place. I found Blue Sky on my way to The Twilight Shuffle 5k after party at Mickey Finns. Angie the owner took the time to welcome me and inform me of all the amazing offerings at Blue Sky. Yoga, Kickboxing, workshops and more. I love it all!!!! Most of all I love the sense of community that Angie and everyone at Blue Sky is building. read more

I'm from out of town on a work trip and needed a space to practice outside of my hotel room. I saw the first class was free, and decided to attend the 9:30am Yoga Groove class with Kayla. The class was lighthearted and fun with just right amount of challenge for people of ALL skill levels! I will most definitely be attending a few more classes before the work trip is over. read more
