I would've enjoyed some soft music or sound in the background of the flow but this class did seem more meditative rather than vinyasa so I could understand why they don't. They have mats, blocks, bolsters, and straps in the back so you don't need to bring your own. I took their Friday night class, which I loved!! but it wasn't easy getting home from class because of Wrigley traffic. I will definitely take another class here but would switch my time/date.

I want to preface this with the fact that I went here with a friend; we both spent our lives…read morestudying all things science. Normally we wouldn't do things like this but were felt drawn to this particular location. I know the area has multiple options, but I really liked how clean, professional, and engaging this location was. We both went in separately to get our readings, and we both were very pleased. During my reading, she really did pick up on certain things; beyond the generic and vague questions you'd expect to hear. She even said certain things that only family members have mentioned to me in private, things even my friend didn't know I was experiencing... essentially she really did pick up on things no regular person would be able to deduce. Her prices were reasonable, fair, and didn't give me any "scammer" vibes (like some of the reviews of others in the area) . She made sure any and all questions were answered. I was a little nervous about what I'd hear just based on the way life has been going. She didn't just tell you nice things you'd want to hear. She was honest and specific. In some way that almost made me less anxious for the future. I'd really recommend giving this place a shot!

The motivation was 1) feeling particularly stressed lately, and 2) more regularly biking to/from work lately - so I get plenty of aerobic exercise in, just not as much stretching. As a few other reviews note, the class (I did level 3 with my husband) was more about stretching and breathing, which is what I was hoping for. It was nice to un-tighten, and nice to give my mind a break on a Saturday morning. After class, the owner and that class's teacher, Master Kim, as well as Lydia (who works there) came over to talk with us, which was pleasant. We learned this type of yoga is more traditional, compared to the harder yoga workouts that are trendier these days. If you're looking for a place to show off your Lululemon and Insta' your practice, it might not be for you (though I'm sure you'd still be welcome!). But, if you want to unwind and stretch and rest your mind, this was a nice class for it. $10/class and drop-in makes it likely we'll be back!

I've been taking classes and private sessions from Melissa for years and have so appreciated that she is always open to pivoting sessions to meet me where I am in the moment, while continuing to encourage progress towards my goals. Truly one of the most empathetic and encouraging teachers I've ever had. I've also taken classes with several of the other instructors (especially loved Qigong with Allison!). I appreciate that no matter who is leading the class, they take time to check in with each participant on what they're looking to get out of their time and any limitations. I've even convinced my husband and my 74 year old mom to come with me. No matter the instructor, you can expect a welcoming environment at Lightspace.
