I took a class here for the first time today and it was a pretty nice experience. There was a substitute teacher so I will need to update my review once I have taken some more classes. I took a Friday evening candlelight yoga class. The class was okay and the facility is very nice. More...

Such a great studio! It's warm and welcoming and the atmosphere is just overall very positive. I purchased a Groupon and was instantly hooked to the hot yoga bikram style class. I have been taking classes with Jenny and she is honestly the best! She pushes you to make sure you are improving from class to class but always puts your health and body first and encourages everyone to know their limits. She is also super positive and motivating! love taking her class! More...

Best studio in the city by far. There is a ton of variety in the class offerings and teachers offer different styles for sure but I really enjoy everyone I've taken. Jill is fantastic and challenging.  Also- you get fitness classes as part of your membership! They are small in size and fast -only 45 minutes but hard. Definitely go if you want a serious workout.

My review is solely for the yoga classes.  Tim and Jill (co-owners) are great. Tim is always friendly and welcoming, and Jill is a really gifted yoga teacher.  Her classes are challenging but nurturing and I think she does a great job of getting the ego out of the room. The instructors teach an Ashtanga-based practice.Other instructors I have tried - Liza - also good at keeping the ego in check.  Teaches a solid, uncomplicated class and I always leave feeling more centered and at ease. She is really good at quieting the mind.Vicky - I like her and she has a good energy but her class is not as traditional and meditative as Jill's or Liza's classes.  If you like to play with variations in class you will probably like her energy.  Laura - I liked Laura's class but wasn't in love with her sequencing.  Amanda - I really like Amanda and she has trained with some really prominent Ashtanga practitioners, so she walks the walk and knows what she's doing. Obviously these are my personal preferences but I do think that Jill and Liza are the most knowledgeable and experienced teachers at the studio. Studio is clean and a nice little sanctuary in the middle of the city. They offer free water and hot tea. More...

Really pretty, simple studio. Lots of classes from which to choose at a variety of times. The studio charges to borrow a mat, which is kind of strange from what I have seen at other places I visit when I  on business travel. Also no bolsters or blankets for us older students. The teacher - Liza - was quite good. She cued fairly well. The music was a little loud and I missed a few things, but the Vinyasa was a solid and calming workout. More...

This space is beautiful and the teachers are amazing. The hot flow class on Sunday morning was awesome-challenging, very sweaty & really hard but in a great way!

This studio is heaven... The space is full of light, the classes are challenging and accessible, and the teachers and owner and other students are welcoming and relatable. I feel like in every class I take, no matter the style, I get something new out of it. Vinyasa classes at Yoga Loft are vigorous and challenging - never the "same old." The Ashtanga classes are like a practice accelerator - I've improved so much since I added this to my practice. And the hot classes, although usually not my "thing", are really cleansing and refreshing. Truly, I feel lucky and grateful to have this caliber of a studio right in Oak Park. More...

They've recently reopened, and I'm not a hot yoga person, so I go to Paige's Thursday night class. She assists (which I really need) so that I can do the poses correctly and with maximum effect. She's super knowledgeable, and I leave feeling twenty years younger. She also makes sure she knows about injuries and helps with modifications. I highly rec her and the studio! More...

Took a vinyasa class here with Maya and I was a fan.Very nice studio with a lot of open space. I've only taken one class here with Maya so this review is for her class. She was a great instructor- challenging and dynamic flow, comes around the class to adjust students, provides some demonstration of poses and proper alignment, and was not pretentious and was very warm and welcoming overall. I would come back here again if they have more classes that fit my schedule and also try other instructors. More...

Yoga Loft was my home studio for over a year, and I loved my time there! I unfortunately had to discontinue my membership as I moved, and practicing there was no longer convenient for me. The space is a relaxing, brick-walled, loft space up above the hustle and bustle of Hubbard street. The only downside is, the lobby and changing areas are a little tight, but you make it work with all the other incoming or departing students.What I enjoyed most about Yoga Loft was the ability to be able to practice yoga that was both athletic, meditative, and spiritual. The teachers, particularly Jill, Rebecca, and Vicky, all know their stuff, and are helpful in cue-ing poses. Additionally, with a membership to Yoga Loft, you are also able to switch it up and take Fit Loft classes with Tim! I primarily took yoga classes the first month or two, but when I started adding in 2-3 Fit Loft classes a week, I really noticed a difference in my body and energy levels! Fitness experts always recommend mixing up your workout routine for ideal results, and Yoga Loft allows you to do exactly that, at an affordable price for Downtown Chicago. More...

Highly recommended. Excellent teachers and classes for all levels. Beautiful, spacious studio. The owners bring with them their expertise in owning a studio and still remain very "neighborhoody" and keep the boutique studio feel. I go to their power classes regularly and I'd even go to their Restorative class whenever my schedule permits. So glad I tried it out while I was walking past the studio one weekend. I finally have my go-to spot! More...

I highly recommend Yoga Loft!  Forget the expensive gym memberships and join here. You won't regret it. Super affordable, unlimited classes monthly and the fitness classes will give you incredible results. And also, kick your butt! I have always hated working out and going to the gym, and am not at all athletic, but workouts with Tim are AMAZING! I am now addicted to his fun, high energy classes. He's so encouraging, and thanks his varied workouts, I have toned up, built lean muscle and am down from a size 8 to a size 2 or 4 and xs sizes in only 3 months. I feel and look better than I have in years, thanks to Yoga Loft and Tim. More...

Wonderful experience at Yoga Loft!  I recently purchased a Groupon and quickly booked a class with a friend.  We tried power yoga and it was awesome! I'm by no means a dedicated yoga person, but I'm also no stranger as I have practiced off and on for the last 16 years.  The building was initially difficult to find, but we eventually found the sign for the loft and headed up the stairs.  This recent visit had a late start to the class due to some young students practicing song and dance.  Not a big deal, but if you are used to an exact schedule you will want to start on time.  This was also the first time at a yoga studio I observed that mats had to be rented for $2.  I didn't need one, but my friend did. Add this cost to the non-covered street parking,  bottled water purchase, and actual class and you are spending a pretty penny for the experience.  Yet, when the class started in the open aired loft I was in my zone. It was a dark, rainy, and breezy evening.  The windows were slightly open with fresh air coming through and setting my own personal vibe, which I appreciated.  The occasional train speeding by also put me in a relaxed state as I love the sounds of trains.  Our instructor was great, very en pointe and informative.  She made sure to assist as needed and did some unique poses I wasn't used to.  Overall, it was a great workout.  I know classes have been good after I feel the pain the next day, which I definitely did!

By far the best yoga studio I've ever visited.  I am really struggling with the poor reviews I've read.  If you know this studio,  you would know the teachers that are mentioned are not permanent teachers. The full time staff is AMAZING.  I'm a person who really struggled to like or do yoga, however through a lot of urging from my doctors,  I did it.  They welcomed me with open arms and made sure I was in proper form throughout the class.  Really second to none in the second city.

I really like this studio. Out of the four studios in Chicago I have tried, this one is my favorite. Excellent teachers and great space. The only thing I don't like that much is the schedule... there are no classes offered between 8 - 11 AM or anything after 7 PM. Also no classes on Saturday afternoon and sometimes the classes get cancelled (especially the fit classes) or the classes are subbed by different teachers than originally scheduled which can bring different outcome of the class than your expectations... This is overall a good studio if you are an early bird, do not work until late hours and either live or work in the loop (or somewhere nearby). More...

I highly recommend Yoga Loft if you are looking for a single stop in or a long-term community. As a 10 yr yoga practitioner who has visited a wide variety of studios in CHI, here is why:-Huge fan of the combo of yoga and strength based training classes (think bootcamp and shred). People often choose regular gyms in order to maximize a membership that has availability to both. Gym yoga is not as effective for people who are interested in advancing their practice-Jivamukti offering. If you have not taken a class with Liza or tried this form of yoga, you are missing out. -Every day that I come in to practice, I have an opportunity to share it with some of my most favorite people; from the teachers to the fellow students and the two wonderful owners Jill and Tim. From day one, they made me feel so welcomed and were supportive of my goals.-Additional shout out to Jill  (whose classes are fantastic for the athletic yogi or Ashtanga enthusiast) who lead and inspired me through my Yoga Alliance certified teacher training @Yoga Loft. If you are exploring the idea of getting your TT- know that not all studios offer a Yoga Alliance certification, which is recognized globally.They now have a second location in Oak Park and is a great deal for anyone who lives out in the west side or suburbs and works downtown during the week.

When I first moved to the city last fall, I was in search for the perfect yoga studio. After trying a few studios, I decided that Yoga Loft was the best choice for me due to price and classes. They have a 2 week introductory offer for $35 that includes unlimited yoga. They also have special deals that make the monthly membership more affordable. I love that they offer both yoga and fitness classes. You get the best of both worlds in this studio! Each yoga instructor has a different style of teaching, which is great, as you learn new and different things in every class. Liza in particular is probably the best teacher I ever had. Definitely try out her classes!My only gripe about this place is I wish they had more yin class. Boy do I miss my yin. But overall this is a fantastic and welcoming studio that's great for beginners and more advanced yogis alike. More...

Today was my first yoga class at this location (second yoga class ever) and I did the hour long beginners course. My instructors name was Lisa and I really enjoyed her class! It moved at a comfortable pace, I feel that I learned several poses that I hadn't done before, and the class size was completely manageable (I think there were 7 of us). I signed up for their unlimited 2-weeks deal which is $35 for 2 weeks, and includes all of their fitness classes. Out of pocket the yoga classes are $19 a pop (I find this to be a bit on the pricy side but I don't know what the regular prices are in this area as I just moved here) so this is a great way to try it out, as long as you go more than once it pays for itself. The location is kind of random, right in the middle of Hubbard Street nestled between bars and restaurants but it is so quiet once you are up there. It looks like the mat rental price is $2 (I brought my own) and the man working the front desk was very friendly. Overall a very nice experience, I may try a few different local places before deciding on which studio I'll stick with long term but I was pretty impressed with this one! The one thing I would say that I liked about the only other class I have taken at a different studio was that the room had windows to let in some light. This is a brick room with no windows, dark and calm but some natural light is always nice. The other rooms in the studio may have windows, I didn't go into any of the other rooms so I am not sure.

I was in town for the weekend and paid for a drop-in class this morning with Jill.  It was $19 for the drop-in plus $2 for the mat, which seems reasonable to me for River North.  I am a more experience yoga practitioner and had never been to this studio before, and I had a great experience!  The class I attended was Power Flow Heated 2.  The room was warm, but not too warm (around 80-85).  It really helped to stretch my muscles out after a long week!  Jill was great at explaining all of the poses and walked around the room the entire class to help anywhere that she could.  Studio 1 was a very nice calm atmosphere.  I also enjoy that they had mat cleaner and paper towels for everyone to use.I will definitely be back when staying overnight again!
