There is a spacious welcome area and a very long spa in back. I've been to several different instructors classes and they're all great, but Lauren and Tashi are my favs. The only downside is there is no off street parking lot, but there are ample street metered spots out front. Just give your self extra time to park!

Where do I begin? I can't say enough wonderful things on the impact that this class (Level 1) has…read morehad on my life. It is a 12 week course where Andrew carefully helps build the foundation that you'll use to explore meditation and the tools you will use to calm the mind and find peace and answers from within. If you are committed (at least practice 4-5 times a week and finish the course) and you have an open mind, you will absolutely feel and see the positive impact that meditation has had on your life through this 12 week course. Andrew does an incredible job of teaching everyone the building blocks they need. He is not pushy in the sense that one way is better than the other. He is open to all experiences, whatever works for you. He is non-judging and very encouraging when you do have those break throughs. I can't speak more highly of his teaching ability, the class and meditation as a whole. I have now signed up for the Level 2 course as I have only scratched the surface of this awesome journey and can't wait to see where the next lessons take me. If you are looking to get into meditation, look no further. Even my husband has seen how much calmer and more peaceful I am :)

I am about to wrap up the Level 1 12-week meditation course and I can't say enough positive things!…read more I was a total non-believer in meditation, I didn't think I could do it, and I thought it wasn't "for me." I was one of those people who really struggled to sit still and clear my mind. Andrew has a great method for teaching beginners the ins and outs of meditation with a lesson each week followed by a practice guided meditation. I personally loved the philosophy which did NOT involve emptying the mind and breathing and/or chanting. The course is VERY real-world relevant. We learned how to access thoughts and feelings (and telling the difference between them), how to have internal dialogue to find out why we feel the way we do, how to focus on thinking about only what we *want* to think about and how to get into the meditation zone, which becomes easier with practice and helps if you set aside time every day and set up a special space for it. His goal is for us to build the habit into our daily lives. There is also a very nice guided visualization exercise that we do to help prepare us psychologically for any future activity. I have seen real benefits from taking the course, I had insights I would not have otherwise had, I've learned to release my muscle tension and I've learned a lot about myself - both a greater daily awareness of how I feel, and understanding of why. I highly recommend this course to anyone who needs to sort through life issues and get to the root of things. Because of this course, meditation is not scary anymore. Also, Andrew is a really nice guy on top of it. Their studio has a lot of other things going on too, like yoga and workshops on specific topics and I look forward to coming back to the studio to try some of those things out in the future. http://meditatecenter.com/classes/level-1-meditation-12-week-series-classes-chicago-lincoln-square-lakeview/

I attended YogaPop Thursday night, and it was pretty fun. It was my first YogaPop, but I've…read moreattended several similar events at Joe Riley Park. This was under the bus shed near the Visitor's Center, which was a great location, especially since we had nice weather. It didn't rain, but we had shelter just in case (some of the park events have been rained ut). Another reason the Visitor's Center was a great location for YogaPop was the parking garage directly across the street- very convenient. I thought Kathryn Buddig did a good job with the class. I do yoga each week, and while I'm not advanced, I've been practicing a few years and know the basics. I took a friend with me who was new to yoga and she was able to do everything, modifying some poses as she needed to. With hundreds of people, some other yoga teachers also walked around and offered alternate poses or helped you (unless you didn't want to be helped in which you could say no). Along with the yoga, a number of vendors were there- everything from juice, salads, and sliders to beer and wine and also yoga items like t-shirts. The only downside was that I felt like the ticket price was a little expensive.

Such a well organized event. Kathryn Budig is a wonderful instructor that uses her sense of humor…read moreto instruct. The vendors at the event were a wonderful selection of vendors that kept me shopping until 9:30. The one thing I'd suggest is having a food and drink option at both ends of the bus shed. I was starving and thirsty (for wine) and had to backtrack to get them. I think everyone should do this event if you have the slightest interest in yoga. This will be on my calendar next year.

Those 6 months were life changing. I learned so much about the principles of yoga, how to teach a well rounded class & most importantly learned about my inner self.

I received Erin's information from a friend who described her as "the real deal" . I was looking…read morefor a change in my life, but did not know what or how to even start. Erin is a knowing, accepting and highly compassionate person. Treatment is peaceful and relaxing, yet highly effective. After the first session my body and mind felt lighter. A few days after I noticed myself thinking different thoughts and seeking out things in my life that were more spiritually fulfilling. I started turning down all the external noise and listening to my internal voice. I found myself thinking of dreams long ago put on a shelf and taking action. I was able to clearly see where I needed to draw boundaries and put them in place in a calm self affirming manner. I was able to prioritize what is important in my life and take action to make that happen. In addition, people that I come across in my daily life started noticing the positive external changes created by the internal shift that Erin's healing helped me manifest. My treatments have opened me up to looking at my future with hope and happiness and anticipation of dreams coming true. As a healer Erin left me with tools to continue moving forward and healing myself, but when I get stuck it is good to know that I can return for treatment to continue moving myself towards my happiness and my dreams. She is indeed the real deal

I've been seeing Bad Girls Yoga work with a bunch of bachelorettes in Charleston (and other…read morecities), so I decided to book it for my sisters. The owner, Gillian was very professional and easy to work with and very accommodating (we had to switch from Saturday to Friday a few weeks prior to the event). It was fairly easy to book and better yet, affordable and worth it. Laurie was our instructor for the day and she was great! She brought us all mats, rose, and even a cold towel at the end! We originally set up outside, but there were a lot of bugs so she was so understanding and helped to get us set up inside. We even had a bridesmaid FaceTime in because she could not make the trip. She made sure we got the full time for our workout and adjusted it based on our needs. She made sure to get cute photos and videos for us as too. I'm very happy with this experience and would recommend it for any groups! Next time, I'd love to do it at the beach!
