My favorites are both on Sunday mornings so I like to alternate them! Nancy is the owner & teacher of Bhakti yoga on Sundays at 9:30a. She's a beautiful personality who reminds us to think gratitude as we strengthen & stretch. Bonnie teaches Pilates reformer at 8:30a and her class always makes me sore! Bonnie is a master at the Reformer for sure. The vibe in this studio is really warm and friendly. You'll be glad you made time for it!!

I was charged $20 for missing the class as the studio told classpass that I could have found them. I am in a war with classpass and my credit card. This studio is a SCAM and as an avid pilates expert who spent years in NYC doing reformer pilates, DO NOT ATTEND THIS STUDIO. THEY SCAM AND LIE TO THEIR BUSINESS PARTNERS AND TAKE $ FROM NEW CLIENTS WHO HAVE NOT USED THEIR SERVICES WHEN THEY LACK CUSTOMER SERVICE.

Both times everyone was pleasent and the instructor was energetic. I really like the set up, class size and course offerings. The only drawback is there are not a lot of weights or poles variety if there are more than 10 ppl. It's also pretty expensive over time. But if you are looking for great fitness options, it's a good buy.

I have been a member at Akasha Yoga for about three months now. I have attended maybe 50 classes…read morethere. I have been to two other Yoga schools and have nothing bad to say about any of them. However, Akasha is the best. The classes are a great stress relief and awesome exercise. The instructors are all very willing to help people new to Yoga, like myself. If this is the last Yoga place that I attend, I will be happy. Aside from relocating, I see no need to go anywhere else. My only complaint is that the store next door (Reclaimed...a artsy used furniture store) blasts their music and hammers on things, so it is difficult to totally relax during meditation when the furniture store is open (fortunately only) on weekends. Akasha also does other fun events to raise money for community projects and causes... drum circles, movie nights, Zumba and Tai Chi. It is a righteous place.

While I had always been interested in trying a yoga class and had enjoyed doing yoga occasionally…read moreat home with a video, I'd always been a little intimidated by fears I'd make a fool out of myself in front of a bunch of experienced yogis. But a friend of mine who belongs to Akasha bugged me to give it a try and offered to take me and my partner as guests on her membership. After the first class, we were hooked. My partner and I went back the very next day and signed up for monthly memberships and began going to classes several times a week. That was last Fall. There are several reasons I love Akasha Yoga. Aside from the warm and peaceful atmosphere, the instructors are all wonderful. Jennifer (the owner) is a fantastic instructor, has great energy, and a great sense of humor. In the months I was a member, I had the opportunity to take classes with all of the instructors at some point, and they are all fantastic in different ways, but they all strive to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome whether you are a complete beginner (like I was) or an experienced yogi. Akasha does a community class once a month on Saturdays that is free to all. Additionally, they raise money for various community causes each month and have different events and special classes planned throughout each month that add to the sense of community at Akasha. My partner and I recently had to move out of the area, and while Crystal Lake is a great suburb that we will miss, what makes us most sad about the move is that we can no longer take classes at Akasha. I would highly recommend this place for anyone interested in giving yoga a try, or for any yoga pros looking for a great place to practice.

The interior was really cute, with aesthetic walls featuring their logo and a charming merch setup at the front of the store. As you walk further into the building, there was a locker room where I could store my belongings during class. The classroom itself had a great vibe. The LED lights gave it a high-end, energized feel, and the space was neat and well-organized. The mats on the floor were really helpful for following along with the instructor, and there were baskets filled with weights and bands that we could easily grab before the class started for the workout. The room was spacious and allowed for plenty of people to be in the class. The instructor was fantastic--very helpful with the exercises. She clearly explained the correct positioning and moved around the room, demonstrating the movements to make sure we all understood. The workout itself was challenging at times, and I definitely had to take a break a few times. But the burn felt amazing, and it really got my body moving! Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely love to come back. The positive energy in the studio and the wonderful people made it even better!

I really appreciated her telling me about the socks instead of me having to buy them at the studio. She was very helpful. The instructor Taylor L did a great job and asked me about my injuries prior to class. She had excellent accommodations and remember what I told her prior to class. As a former fitness instructor(and someone who used to hire them) she is an excellent instructor. Her explanations were clear, the class flowed well, and she provided multiple options. I also liked the number of participants in the class. Sometimes it feels so crowded but I feel this studio has the right number of participants. If I lived closer I would buy a membership here. I would 100% pay for another class if I'm in town

I have found my home studio! Right in Woodstock Square and down the street from the train station…read more Perfect location, but it is easy to miss since it's located on the second floor (scan the second floor windows and you'll figure out exactly where it is). Today I decided to pop in for a live class and did a little perusing online. Classes are typically $18, but first timers can get a $5 class if you select that option. The class I attended was an all-level Vinyasa taught by Jon and would've been worth the $18 so it's without a doubt worth $5. The space has a clean clutter feel to it. There's little decorations and salt lamps and it smells like incense. The skylight and the huge window let in so much light that it feels like you're practicing outside. The open window adds to that feel when you feel a light and welcome breeze. Size is the only setback... it's a somewhat narrow studio which makes a class feel pretty tight with about 10-12 people. This is possibly more personal preference because I love being in larger classes because I'm able to lose myself (or focus... I'm not sure which) a little more fully and this space is more ideal for small classes so you have room to spread out. Overall though, I will be back and I'll adjust to the smaller size... I may even come to love it. There are many different instructors and classes though out the week so experiencing different flows and styles is possible here. And the proximity to so many food options makes it the perfect spot to start my day before breakfast.
