I found Yoga By Degrees in Wheaton from a friend and tried out their free one week period and fell…read morein love, but couldn't make the trek to Wheaton everyday so I hoped and dreamed about a YBD closer to home and dreams really do come true! Wha-laaa YBD Elmhurst opened up sometime in October of 2013 and it's almost a carbon copy of their Wheaton location. How can a fitness studio be so spanking clean and fresh? I don't know about the men's locker room, but the women's freaking rocks! Hair dryers, shampoo/conditioner, hair products, HAIR TIES!, I mean you name it and they'll probably have it. It's so clean that I feel comfortable walking around barefoot, which I would never have done at big chain gyms. I've done mainly the level 2 classes, have yet to get in for a sculpt class (my favorite), but the instructors have always been knowledgeable and provides modification for the harder movements. As a CrossFitter I truly believe CrossFit and Yoga are meant to be. My muscles are really tight and sore from CrossFit and although it hurts to stretch them it's a good pain. Yoga allows me to relax my muscles and stretch out all the sore spots. I recommend YBD to all levels of Yogis especially since you can try them out for free for a whole week! I mean what's better than free?

The instructors are top-notch and I've loved every class I've taken, as each instructor's style is unique. While there are elements which are standard for every yoga class no matter where you go, the class experience here is just different... and elevated compared to a park district class. It's all about the details, and Beth has thought of every single one. There are environmentally friendly considerations throughout. My favorite classes are Soulful Yoga and Yin Yoga with Christy Studant. Can't wait to try aerial!

I am reluctant to make this review because I don't want the classes to be so full, but honestly…read morethis place deserves nothing less than 5 stars. Nestled by the Wheaton train station (where they have a French market every Saturday), this small studio is impressive. I've been going to tribalance for some time, but found this studio that's closer to me and more my vibe. I used to practice Bikram (before the scandal) in Cali and this place has that cool Cali/city vibe. It's immaculately clean and the showers have such good water pressure. The classes are what you expect them to be, HOT, intense, and oh so rewarding. My joints and back always feel phenomenal after class. And the staff are so warm and friendly. Shout out to Becky and Agata for their continued support in my yoga journey. Pro tip: On Saturdays (while the French market is open), give yourself a half an hour extra from the time you usually leave your home as parking can be challenging, and you don't want to be late. Though I've always found parking, it did take more time.

Debbie (who turned out to be one of the owners) was the instructor. The class was great. Debbie gave tips to modify poses for more and less difficult variations which I find VERY helpful. She had a calming and pleasant demeanor. After class she said that maybe I should try traditional yoga (Next's version of bikram) since she felt it would suit me better. She was right!!!! I've been going twice a wwek to the Wheaton location and love it! Casey and Sarah are fabulous instructors. If you are thinking about returning to yoga or trying it, you will not be disappointed by Next. It is a great place!

They've all taken the time to introduce themselves when I arrive and have sometimes asked about my background in yoga (I am a RYT so it's nice to chat a bit more in depth about yoga with a fellow teacher). The studio not only offers a diverse array of styles of yoga, but they also provide yogis with all the necessary props so we don't have to lug bolsters, blankets and blocks to and from. I've taken their heated classes as well as nonheated and have had a beautiful experience in both climates. The professionals running this business are informative and prompt in their correspondence. The studio is ALWAYS clean, fresh, and perfectly set up for a peaceful, harmonious practice. I often get pulled into the beautiful artwork on the walls as I flow through my practice (which is better than getting distracted by unappealing paint chips or worn out ceiling tiles as I have had the experience in other studios). If you're looking for a new yoga studio in the western suburbs that offers classes for beginners, seasoned practitioners, expecting mom's, teens or children then you DEFINITELY need to get to Ahimsa. They have multiple locations and their prices/class packages are VERY reasonable especially for the quality of instruction you will experience!

There weren't many intermediate or advanced pole classes I could drop into at Rising Goddess (mostly seems to series over a few weeks) so I took an intermediate hammock class instead. Easy to book but bummed that the level changed from advanced starting the week I was there. I was given the grand tour when I arrived. This is a MASSIVE space! Love how many pole, aerial, and dance rooms there are, as well as a kitchen for special events. Everyone was super friendly, to the point where I had to excuse myself from conversation because I was a few minutes late to class. Oops. Audrey was the instructor, and she taught so many fun and accessible combos! Not sure when I'll be back in Oak Brook again but would love to take more classes in the future.

I'm on track to complete 17 classes during this time. All of the instructors I've practiced with have lead a nice class. Of course there may be some personal preference differences in terms of music selection or flow, but there are enough different times and instructors to be able to pick and choose which class you would want to go to. I enjoy the variety they offer in terms of types of classes. I lean towards yoga sculpt, HIIT Pilates, and the 90 min traditional. Restorative I enjoy, but unless I was an unlimited member I may not partake in. There's tons of parking. The women's locker room is pretty roomy and has some nice amenities if needed. Recommend it, if you're in the area.

When I moved to the area about 10 years ago, I started practicing vinyasa at YBD Wheaton, but…read morehaven't practiced in a few years. Recently I had a rare, coveted weekday sans children, so decided to treat myself to a yoga class. I still had an account that was easy to get back into when I signed up online for the single class. I normally do virtual yoga at home weekly, but decided to mix things up and do a Traditional Hot class, which I also haven't done in a few years. Before the actual class, I brushed up on the 26 poses. On the day of the class, I wasn't necessarily greeted warmly, and it seemed assumed that I was familiar with the studio and knew what I was doing. After introducing myself and explaining that I was new to the studio, the girl at the front desk was more friendly and welcoming. I also met Erin, the instructor for the Traditional Hot class, and she nicely showed me around. The class itself consisted of obvious regulars, which was interesting. I like that Erin gave clear instruction, correction, and tips both indirectly and directly (i.e. positioning support). Overall, I liked her as instructor and found her very informative, especially since Traditional Hot is not in my normal practice. Overall, I enjoyed the class and got a heck of a workout that I felt for days afterwards. The only things that I weren't a fan of was that she was very insistent on open eyes (I use yoga as a way to center and calm myself, and usually [unconsciously] close my eyes); she gave about 3 verbal reminders of open eyes during the practice. Also, she seemed to a little overtly correct me with some balancing poses that I was obviously struggling with. (I have Hallux Limitus [limited movement of my big toes] and degenerative arthritis in my feet). During the class, I continued persevering and modifying on my own, but was admittedly wobbly at times. I think that Erin was probably trying to be encouraging, but she was unaware of my physical limitations. I think that instructors might want to keep that in mind when interacting with students: someone might have limitations that are not readily apparent. I enjoyed mixing up my yoga practice with the Traditional Hot, but would probably continue to stick with YBD1 or 2 for any future classes I may attend.

The scent when you first enter, the genuine smiles at check-in, the warmth of the heated studio, and even my personal favorite, the "cowboy bathroom," every detail has been thoughtfully crafted. Every instructor I've taken a class with has been consistently friendly, energetic, and extremely knowledgeable. Their passion and positivity never feel forced, it's constant and authentic every single time. What stands out most is the sense of community you feel here. From my very first class to my most recent one, I've felt welcomed, supported, and part of something special. You can tell that ( shout out Marybeth) Marybeth has poured intention into every aspect of this studio, and it shows day in and day out. Honestly, it almost pains me to write this because classes are already popular and I don't want them filling up any more than they already are. But DripYoga in Glen Ellyn deserves every bit of recognition. The space, the energy, and the people make it truly special.
