CHICAGO AVE. and online. We post recorded classes on the CALENDAR OUR SCHEDULE PAGES. All are invited to join and grow in our nurturing community of practice.

BSY members are fond of the studio for several reasons. One is the welcoming aura their space carries. The reviews particularly note that cleanliness and positivity are noticeable upon entry. Instructors like Nicolette, Annie, and Aryanna receive special mention for their support and guidance. Overall, the roster is highly-rated by members. Novices appreciate beginner-friendly classes chock-full of motivation and the possibility of early morning yoga. Also, with a wide range of classes, all levels of experience can find appealing classes here. Note that its members are as essential as the staff when discussing BSY. Both groups create a welcoming yoga community. Ironically, the speed of the classes is slower and gentler compared to many in Chicago. But the styles they teach, such as Hatha Yoga, focus on breathing and gentle rhythms make them satisfying. This method is noticeable when teachers give you personal and essential words of advice and hands-on corrections. One even notes that she always comes out of a class feeling like she learned something. Overall, members who want a challenging and enriching yoga experience in a supportive community with some positivity should consider becoming Big Shoulders Yoga devotees.
