I have been a member at Akasha Yoga for about three months now. I have attended maybe 50 classes…read morethere. I have been to two other Yoga schools and have nothing bad to say about any of them. However, Akasha is the best. The classes are a great stress relief and awesome exercise. The instructors are all very willing to help people new to Yoga, like myself. If this is the last Yoga place that I attend, I will be happy. Aside from relocating, I see no need to go anywhere else. My only complaint is that the store next door (Reclaimed...a artsy used furniture store) blasts their music and hammers on things, so it is difficult to totally relax during meditation when the furniture store is open (fortunately only) on weekends. Akasha also does other fun events to raise money for community projects and causes... drum circles, movie nights, Zumba and Tai Chi. It is a righteous place.

While I had always been interested in trying a yoga class and had enjoyed doing yoga occasionally…read moreat home with a video, I'd always been a little intimidated by fears I'd make a fool out of myself in front of a bunch of experienced yogis. But a friend of mine who belongs to Akasha bugged me to give it a try and offered to take me and my partner as guests on her membership. After the first class, we were hooked. My partner and I went back the very next day and signed up for monthly memberships and began going to classes several times a week. That was last Fall. There are several reasons I love Akasha Yoga. Aside from the warm and peaceful atmosphere, the instructors are all wonderful. Jennifer (the owner) is a fantastic instructor, has great energy, and a great sense of humor. In the months I was a member, I had the opportunity to take classes with all of the instructors at some point, and they are all fantastic in different ways, but they all strive to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome whether you are a complete beginner (like I was) or an experienced yogi. Akasha does a community class once a month on Saturdays that is free to all. Additionally, they raise money for various community causes each month and have different events and special classes planned throughout each month that add to the sense of community at Akasha. My partner and I recently had to move out of the area, and while Crystal Lake is a great suburb that we will miss, what makes us most sad about the move is that we can no longer take classes at Akasha. I would highly recommend this place for anyone interested in giving yoga a try, or for any yoga pros looking for a great place to practice.

I love that I can modify to fit my skills level and that Katie is passionate, knowledgeable and willing to take the time to assist me in those modifications. The energy and vibe is always great, it's different depending on the class and the day and time. Yin Yin is like the yoga version of a massage. My muscles are relieved of all the tension and I leave feeling loose and relaxed. And for those that aren't really that interested in yoga, there is Lindsay H's Delta Sculpt class. It's a high energy, aerobic/strength class reminiscent of circuit training but different. All levels from beginner to advanced/expert can benefit and meet the challenges of this class as there are so many ways to modify to meet your skills level. Lindsay's passion comes through in a contagious enthusiasm and as challenging as it is, it's equally as fun. This studio is filled with genuine instructors who live what they teach, love what they teach and care about the people who enter the doors.

It's really tough to describe how amazing this type of workout can be unless you've tried it. In my…read moreyounger days, I beat up my joints doing gymnastics and had the lovely gift of a hip replacement in my late 30s. Trying to stay physically active and flexible after beating yourself up for so long can be frustrating when seemingly most options at a gym will leave your joints wrecked for a week. So let me tell you about my new friend Pilates and "Jump". It was one of the most rewarding workouts I've experienced in a long time. It was challenging, focused, but paced at my own abilities and needs. Additionally, I didn't think the Jumpin would be as great as it was but I felt great the next day. April the owner is a force of positivity as well, she does some amazing outreach and helps support the neighborhood with several ongoing programs, donation drives, and events. She is a great owner to support. So do yourself a favor, and book a class or just stop and say hello to check it out. Lots of easy great parking and a super positive environment!

The interior was really cute, with aesthetic walls featuring their logo and a charming merch setup at the front of the store. As you walk further into the building, there was a locker room where I could store my belongings during class. The classroom itself had a great vibe. The LED lights gave it a high-end, energized feel, and the space was neat and well-organized. The mats on the floor were really helpful for following along with the instructor, and there were baskets filled with weights and bands that we could easily grab before the class started for the workout. The room was spacious and allowed for plenty of people to be in the class. The instructor was fantastic--very helpful with the exercises. She clearly explained the correct positioning and moved around the room, demonstrating the movements to make sure we all understood. The workout itself was challenging at times, and I definitely had to take a break a few times. But the burn felt amazing, and it really got my body moving!
