Great yoga studio. Small classes, patient instructors, and I love the building it is in.

The Saturday class core class with Rachel is great!!. You will use muscles you haven't used in a while.

As a yoga teacher, I have taken my fair share of yoga classes and workshops. I even get free classes from teaching elsewhere, but I pay for a membership at Prairie because of the amazing quality of the teachers. Specifically, I arrange my schedule so that I can take classes from Maria Luisa Basualdo. I have learned so much from her Iyengar classes. She has a keen eye for imbalance and misalignment in each of her student's poses and her cuing is sharp and precise. All of the teachers are very knowledgeable. Highly recommended! read more

I completed the 200 Yoga Teacher Training from Prairie Yoga in Peoria, Il under the instruction of Ellen McKenzie and Tammy MItchell at HeadingOM studio. I cannot emphasize how thorough and well though-out this program truly is. The classes cover anatomy, philosophy, history, proper alignment, and how to approach students as a new teacher. The learning obtained from this program is way more than I expected, and frankly, I feel like my training is more in-depth than other's who attended different 200 curriculums. Marinda Stepforth is by far on of the best anatomy teachers. Thank you Lori Gasper for providing these opportunities in the Midwest, and in Peoria, IL. read more

Today was my first time visiting Prairie Yoga and I loved it! I took the Iyengar 1 class with Sharon and it was amazing. Her instruction was clear and insightful, and she took the time to help everyone. I am excited to take more Iyengar classes at Prairie Yoga! read more

What a nice yoga studio. It is a little far from where I live so I don't think I would make it my "home" studio, but I came here a couple of times for a friend who was teaching a class. They have all the equipment/accessories that you need for class for you to use. Everyone is very friendly. We did have some temperature issues in our last class (too hot, for some reason the heat was on, then too cold), but they made an effort to improve it during the class. There's a place for you to hang up your coat and bag out front, which is nice too. read more

Prairie gets that not all people who want to learn yoga are 18 and 85 pounds. They have classes that fit all body types and experience levels. And they also offer free community classes that give their student teachers an opportunity to teach, and learn how to tell their right from their left while instructing. :) read more

Love Linda Troutman's therapeutic yoga especially since I am re-building my yoga practice due to a hip replacement.

Amazing teachers and community here at Prarie! The 200HR YTT program is amazing as well. So many varieties of classes, workshops, and trainings to choose from - there really is something for everyone! They really believe in bringing whoever you are, right now, to the mat and honoring that. You'll be glad you checked it out! read more

I'm in the midst of Operation Holy Crap I'm Getting Married and I Look Like Hell. I've been running a lot but was looking for a way to do some additional toning and, let's face it, chill out a bit. My friend convinced me to come to a community class at Prairie Yoga. What a gem! I enjoyed a free, open 90-minute class that was taught by three women who are training to become yoga teachers. Everyone was helpful and friendly. The class was filled with people of all ability levels, so I didn't feel self-conscious at all. The studio itself is cozy and inviting and all of the equipment is very clean. I plan on becoming a regular! read more

A jewel, offering a great variety of classes (all with top notch teachers) for everyone from beginners to teachers. In addition to all the weekly classes, they offer an impressive series of workshops with master teachers like Judith Lasater, Nicolai Bachman, Tias Little, and Richard Rosen. The monthly Master Classes with Gabriel Halpern is my personal favorite; he is an amazing teacher. And the Friday Night Specials are also worth checking out-- if you get a chance to do the Crystal Bowls Sound Healing, definitely do! read more

Prairie Yoga is a very nice facility with multiple classes across a wide range of disciplines. In particular I think Maria is one of the best Iyengar teachers I have experienced over 20+ years of classes read more

Prairie Yoga in Lisle offers a nurturing studio and full roster of classes and programs for beginners to teacher training candidates. I thoroughly enjoy what each teacher brings to the session as well as the comprehensive selection of props available. My practice has been enhanced by the one-on-one coaching during each class. You will not be disappointed. read more

I'm so glad I found Prairie Yoga. A great place with the best people!

Teachers with 1000's of hours of experience. Every prop you can think of. It doesn't get better than this.

I love yoga and have been implementing it in my life for the last six months now. I mostly do yoga at home, however, I have tried a few locations, including the popular core power yoga. The locations that I had tried did not seem right or at home, something just seemed to be missing. I started researching online for some exceptional community classes and found Prairie Yoga and decided to give it a try. The location is pretty quiet and isolated and you do not have to stare at traffic as you are trying to meditate. The ambience and the environment is calm and I love that you get to use different equipment every class. The community class is taught by three students who are training to become yoga teachers, but you could not even tell because they are all so amazing. Each class I have been to is completely different and afterwards I feel rejuvenated. The community class is open to all levels and they do have yoga mats just in case you forget yours or are simply trying yoga out for the first time. I even brought my friend with once and it relaxed her so much that she fell asleep. read more

what a great find! a beautiful, clean studio with really skilled teachers. this place combines the perfect mix of spiritual/physical - you won't feel like you're at woodstock OR bootcamp :-) i went on a weekday and it wasn't overly crowded which was nice. ever since i left my spine has been thanking me. read more

The Prairie Yoga 200 hour teacher training was just what I hoped for! It offered a well-balanced and very foundational approach to a yoga practice, from a perspective of heading into the world to teach, as well as with my own personal practice. The program stripped everything I knew down to the core and rebuilt it from the ground up. At times, this wasn't an easy thing to go through, but it was a great stepping stone to deepening and growing my yoga practice. After practicing for 6 years, I thought I had learned a lot alreaddy. But, I really learned that this practice is so much deeper than I can imagine and there are so many paths to follow. The information and learning is endless. Wherever your passion takes you, you can grow. It's inspiring to know that there is always something so much more, and the practice can grow in many directions, from asana to meditation, pranayama, ayurveda, philosophy, and more. Coming to the training was a highlight for me each month, and I looked forward to learning in the "classroom" environment with the great community of teachers, assistants, mentors, and students. And... it was amazing that I got to do it right at home at the place where it all started for me, Cascade Yoga (Grand Rapids, MI)! April was a great teacher and I am honored to have spent the time learning from her. Her and Ellen were always available to answer my questions when they arose, and offered a very open and nurturing learning environment. read more

Looking for a place that makes you feel good about where you are at with your body, mind and soul? This is it. I love it here because it has people of all body types and the classes are sequenced safely. You might not be aware of the toll a badly sequenced class is going to take on you yet, but when you do, come to Prairie. They always offer interesting workshops. And no one is going to judge you if you don't show up in Lululemon. read more

Yoga was the only "Resolution" I made and KEPT in 2010! The studio is extremely well equipped and the instructors are true facilitators of the practice. As a complete novice, my apprehensions were quickly eased as classes are small, the studio is warm and friendly, instruction is challenging and encouraging all leading me to meet my intention of well-being. read more
