I've been going to New Level Hot Yoga twice a week for the past three years--it's been a…read morelife-changing experience. Not only are the instructors top-notch, but the yogi community is gentle and supportive. With classes seven days a week, offering hot yoga, hot flow, pilates, breathwork and meditation workshops, there is always an opportunity to find a little peace in our busy world. Robyn, the studio owner and lead yogi, is terrific--compassionate and fun--and keeps us centered. I look forward to my weekend classes each and every Friday!

I LOVE this place! I have been going pretty regularly since December and my strength has increased…read morepretty drastically. I find a great sense of peace while practicing. The instructors are amazing and always willing to answer questions. If you are considering trying Hot Yoga for the first time, I highly recommend it! I was intimidate the first time but there is no reason to be! Take it at your own pace, use the modifications if needed and rest if the heat is getting to you.

I love this yoga studio! Very nice and quite place to relax and enjoy yoga! They have a lot of…read moredifferent class times and I really like my instructor! It is a non-profit organization and their prices are very reasonable! If you just drop-in the price is $15 for one class, however they have punch passes you can buy which bring down the price of classes as low as $10. I really like it here and they are located in downtown palatine! I like it because it is not a karate etc place that also offers yoga! The teachers are great and the price is average price for a yoga class!

I have been a yoga practitioner for many years - cycling through dozens of instructors. Most…read morestudios are nice with pleasant instructors but I believe i found a gold mine in the Himalayan Yoga and Meditation Center. Alina, a most gifted instructor is exceptional. She goes beyond teaching just the moves and emphasizes their connection to diaphragmatic breathing which results in a deep meditative state throughout the practice. Imagine doing an entire practice with eyes closed. This serves to quiet us so we can really listen and feel our bodies. In the three months I have practiced under Alina, I sleep better and my sinus condition has virtually disappeared. I am off my meds. There is no one like Alina!

I've been going to Move in Palatine for about a year and a half and have really enjoyed all my…read moreclasses. I have noticed I am much stronger and more flexible as a result and I have had less lower back pain flare ups. I usually take classes from Erin and Kailley and they are both wonderful. They are knowledgeable, calm, friendly, and create a warm, non-competitive environment where each person is encouraged to listen to their own body and make modifications to the activities if needed. Love it!!

Move Studio, with locations in Linolnshire and Palatine, is the reason why people so often describe…read morePilates as life changing. After taking organized exercise classes for over 20 years, I changed to Move 2 years ago. Attending classes at Move has improved my overall health, strength, balance and enthusiasm for exercise as a way to focus on my physical fitness as a key factor in daily living and as I age. Move's instructors are highly trained, positive and enthusiastic toward each participant's understanding and use of Pilates for both body and mind. Class sizes are small so I always feel the instruction is focused on ensuring I get the most out of each class. I enthusiastically recommend Move Studio.

Welcoming staff. Great workouts. I've been coming here for over a year now through class pass.read more

I gave it a very long try before reviewing. It's OK. Locker rooms nice. Yoga/Pilates space nice,…read morebut often music blocks out instructors' voices. Some of the instructors are AMAZING. They meet you where you are, as advertised, and are helpful rather than hypercritical. Thank you to them. Not all, though. You won't hear a lot of "honor yourself" or "breathe into it" or movement with breath instructions. Last week I heard, "Last week's class did all of this, so DO IT." "I've already worked out 2.5 hours today, so you have no excuse." "It's a good thing I'm pregnant or else you wouldn't be getting so many breaks." "You can drink water when we break for it." Last I checked, yoga is not a competitive sport. As for the place itself, water constantly leaks from a pipe or the water fountain or both. I and several others nearly fell because there's no wet floor sign, no towels put down, and the floor is tile. I called it out and got, "that always happens," so I laid towels and warned ppl myself. Safety not a first priority, nor cleanliness given that. I thought about bringing a friend who is physically limited, but I didn't want to risk a fall. Finally, while it may be fixed now, the humidifier has been broken for weeks, with many promises that it'll be fixed by a certain day, then the part is on order but "will be here today." Then "next week" ... practicing is possible in dry heat, but stating the room is always 40% when it's not is misleading. Dry air breeds more bacteria, and winter is rough on sinuses and muscles as it is. (Of course, some may not care, but the humidity was a #1 reason why I chose Drip.) Emily did extend membership for a week (verbally, but it never reflected on my account). Not clear whether I will pay for a new membership or not. I'm going to try a few more places first. Biggest concern aside from those, though, I often overheard instructors/owner complaining loudly about members and their complaints, and gossiping, which doesn't create the best vibe in the space. If it's important to you that the energy match your practice intentions, something to consider. But again ... Ilyce, great. Nicole, great. Dragan, intense but great. Briana, great. Watch the water on the floor and the possible lack of humidity, and look for those instructors, and you're mostly good to go.
