Ahimsa Yoga Studio

The instructor was knowledgeable, friendly and eager to help us become better yogis. I could personally recommend the studios in Berwyn and Oak Park and I've heard good things about the Elmhurst and Evanston as well.

My sister, my 86-year old Irish mother, and I took THE MOST AMAZING yoga/dance class here a few weekends ago!! I usually go to the Oak Park location for Ahimsa for yoga classes, but this was a special workshop being taught at the Berwyn location, so we all drove over. It was the most fun dance class I've ever taken! Taught by guest workshop teacher, E'a Williams, it was called AfroSoul and it was so uplifting and beautiful, my heart was soaring. It was 90 minutes, done barefoot, with gorgeous music. E'a is the perfect instructor. She explained how yoga and African dance as similar and explained what each of the moves meant and how they are connected. She is friendly, welcoming, funny, and kept the class really moving. I am going through some physical stuff and don't have the strength and stamina that I used to, but E'a made me feel like my body was perfect and I should feel proud of myself, and I do. My mother keeps asking when we can dance together again! My sister loved it, too. We will 1000% return to take another of E'a's dance classes at Ahimsa. I wish it was offered every weekend as I would totally start my Sunday this way every week. Highly recommend!

Nice cozy space, great instructor, nice students. And best of all with Ahimsa we can attend different studios which I did - this was my first time at the Berwyn studio. I look forward to trying out Oak Park studio as well. So for those of us in this area, we have three studios to choose from (and there is also Evanston) , Berwyn, Oak Park and Elmhurst - that is fantastic. And your business model guarantees a similar yoga experience, no matter which studio we attend. Since the new owners have come on board I have noticed a distinct change in the members, old and new. There is a visceral sense of community, everybody is welcoming to each other, and the instructors are very good, very professional, and very kind. It doesn't get any better than that. I believe most of us feel like we are family. I have incorporated Ahimsa into my weekly schedule for the physical, emotional and spiritual connection I receive. Now that I'm working from home, this is an essential and important part of my daily life. Ahimsa is Highly Recommended! Thanks again and Happy Holidays to All.

Really enjoy Fran as an instructor. She makes it so real. Also was honored that it was her birthday and she shared it with us. An inspiring teacher.

Great & patient instructors. Lindsay, Caitlin & Lauren go thru the class very deliberately. The studio has all the equipment you'll need. The Sound classes are a great way to relax. The instructors will help you if you need some guidance. Cost is very reasonable.

I travel often. I always look for Yoga studios with Yoga teachers who practice all of the limbs of Yoga. Caitlin embodies all of the Yoga teachings. Practice with her, you will grow from the experience.

Great teacher & chill vibe. The space was a bit cramped, but I enjoyed the feeling of community. Lots of good energy and laughter.

Okay yogis (and wanna-be yogis)....you've GOT to go to this studio! Awesome space and vibes....all the teachers here are incredible AND it's not overcrowded. Get off the couch and do something really rewarding physically, spiritually, and mentally for yourselves!

Love Caitlyn, Mona, Meghan, Marissa, Susanne....EVERYONE is welcoming and extremely talented!

Tonight was my first time back to yoga in a long time. Liz was my instructor and she was very welcoming from the beginning! We incorporated yoga straps and blocks- which I've actually never used before. I've only done yoga with just a mat (alright and maybe a mimosa). BUT! I love how she incorporated them and jumping back into it, I didn't feel out of place. We also practiced some wall work- which I LOVED. It brought me back to my elementary school gymnast days in the best way because you're ENCOURAGED to fling your legs up against the wall. I never knew this type of wall work yoga even existed!! Anyway, I went into the class with 4 full days of work stress inside me. I've had shortness of breath because of all the stress this week but Liz's deep breaths practices helped me so much. Thank you Liz! And I already bought the lavender eye pillow we used to finish class because I couldn't stop thinking about it :)

I feel comfortable at Ahimsa Berwyn. The staff is so welcoming and non-judgmental or snobby. Love Laura's beginner's class and others of course but I feel her class has prepared me to be able to feel confident enough to take other classes.
