What My Clients Say about Me
Michael Lübbert2023-08-16 I had a great experience at BYWL last night! I'm new to Chicago and have been teaching and practicing at a studio across town and hadn't had the chance to check out BYWL. As a 14 year Bikram Yoga practitioner I've practiced and taught classes in dozens of hot yoga studios. BYWL is definitely one of the best. The heat / humidity was excellent, the studio design and mirrors are great, the lobby is comfortable and classy... an all around classic Bikram Yoga school. I was there to take a class from traveling teacher, Laju Choudhury, which was a cool way to try this studio for the first time. I hope to take some classes with some of the rest of the BYWL teachers in the future. I definitely recommend taking a class here if you get the chance. shopping junk2023-07-01 This is an amazing old school Bikram studio ! Instructors are excellent, and it is a huge space. I used to live in Chicago and always stop through when I am back in town . Great vibes ! Jamila Jones2022-10-05 Amazing studio and incredibly kind staff! Chanita Schwartz2022-05-24 I love BYWL! I used to practice Bikram yoga regularly in my 20s but life happened and got in the way which led me to abandon the practice for 10 yrs. After the longest hiatus, I decided to make time for Bikram again, and the 5:30AM class works out perfectly for me. I was a little intimidated to jump back in, but my fears and insecurities quickly went away upon walking into the space. All of the instructors are warm, welcoming, and encouraging. Even though Bikram yoga is intensely an independent practice, there is a sense of community here, and everyone is courteous to one another. The space is clean and the facility is well maintained. You will absolutely feel the heat and humidity that uniquely makes Bikram so bring your water bottle and get ready for a true physical, mental, spiritual transformation. Ana Figueroa2022-04-06 Bikram Yoga Chicago IL has created an experience that is just plain right. There is a feel of positive energy the moment one enters the studio. It has a very calming effect that prepares you for the session. The instructors are personable and very helpful and do make it a point to assist newbies. Carol Gray2022-03-25 Great studio with a wide variety of instructors, times, and class styles. The rooms are both plenty hot, and the instructors are knowledgeable and generally Hands-On. There is no shampoo in the bathrooms so bring your own, rentals are a couple bucks if you forget, and included in the full monthly membership. Definitely worth the intro month to try it out and see if it's for you! nor2022-02-22 Finally a yoga studio with integrity! Full 90 min classes taught by certified teachers. This studio is hands down the best in the Midwest! Randa Hasan2022-01-17 Best yoga studio I have been to in Chicago. Awesome teachers!Google rating score: 4.5 of 5, based on 83 reviews
