The iRest Yoga was amazing and Lindsey is an amazing instructor! The session was grounding, centering and healing! Will take the session again. read more

I have been attending classes at Ahimsa in Berwyn since the studio opened in 2015. After some time away, I have been there regularly since August of 2023. I came for the practice but have received an extra benefit of the community of support from teachers and fellow students. read more

Love the flexibility of being a member of Ahimsa! I can go to classes at different locations and can also do classes virtually either at class time or afterwards with a link that's good for 48 hours. This enables me to keep up with my practice no matter what my schedule looks like on a given week. I llive visiting the Berwyn studio because Nikki is an amazing yoga instructor! Perfect combination of heart, head, and body work. Her classes are challenging and are different every single week, which I really appreciate. read more

I just took a Forrest workshop with Trisha Kaufman. It was just the right amount of challenge, and fun too. It felt good to learn something new. Ahimsa studio (in Oak Park is where I usually practice) has great teachers and is a very welcoming place and a great space. read more

Earthy type class and setting. No frills. Just pure yoga. Location is not far from our home in La Grange. Never super crowded.

If you're looking for a yoga studio in the near West suburbs, this is your place. They also have locations in Oak Oar and Elmhurst. Nice space. Good instructors. Good scheduling options. Good vibe. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I attended one of the free community classes that was offered. It was a really great experience! The poses were not too difficult, and Linda did a really good job of describing them and alternatives we could use if we were having any trouble. This seems like something I should be doing more often. It felt really good. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Being a beginner, I felt welcomed at Ahimsa Berwyn. The instructors have been helpful. After each class I felt more relaxed. I will take more classes in the future. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 :) read more

Ahimsa Yoga Studio - Yoga Near Me - Berwyn, Illinois

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

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. read more

99% of the time the instructors are spot on with their practice and can lead you into an extremely rewarding session/practice! I love their classes and highly recommend! read more

The $49 per person for the first month membership (with unlimited classes) has been so worthwhile. My husband and I have tried all the different classes and have enjoyed them greatly. The instructors are professional and friendly, making sure to answer questions and assist with adjustments for a pose if needed. If you've wanted to try it, this is a great place get started! read more

Love the instructors and lots of restorative classes. Convenient location and times. The best!

MONA MCDOUGALL IS SOOO SWEET, knowledgeable , professional , funny and made us all feel super comfortable. I brought my brother in law , cousin , sister and husband ( for all of them their first time and they were nervous) now they want to do yoga all the time. We did yin yoga and can't wait for goat yoga this may 2020! I'm so happy to have found this place. Namaste! read more

I love this yoga studio! It's clean, the teachers are fantastic, and they welcome all skill levels! It is great experience for anyone looking to include yoga in their lives! Namaste! read more

When I attended Ahimsa Berwyn for the first time I was almost a complete beginner. I was very nervous and was really hoping not to feel intimidated. It turned out there was no need to be nervous and I've now been practicing in Berwyn for seven months. It 's one of the best decisions I've made for my physical and emotional health. I've taken classes with several instructors and I encourage people to come and try it for a month.. take a bunch of classes and experience the different instructors. I appreciate the variety I get and I always learn something new. The instructors are very supportive and offer lots of guidance. Thank you to all of the teachers who've introduced me to the world of yoga. An instructor I know took a class at Ahimsa and she said, "that is how a yoga studio should be". I agree. Come support this wonderful studio in Berwyn. read more

The Restorative/Yin class was the perfect level to ease into an unfamiliar practice and the instructor was relaxed and helpful. It was all about stretching and meditation, and very doable for a complete newbie. Environment felt calm and welcoming. It was a little overwhelming as a first timer to get what I was supposed to do with the props but it's my own fault for not making it there early. I'm always intimidated in settings where I don't know what I'm supposed to do (especially when everyone else knows what they're doing), but I didn't feel intimidated at all. It was a trial run for me but I'll definitely be going back. read more

I joined Ahimsa a few months ago and have enjoyed every single class I have taken. Every teacher takes the time needed to guide me they my practice. The atmosphere is cozy comfy & peaceful. I am very happy to have made the change and I would encourage friends n family to check it out . Thank you to all in the Ahimsa family ! read more

I love the staff and the studio. I don't go all the time but when I do I enjoy myself very much. I've attended the Surrender to Sound twice and have enjoyed each experience! read more

This is my first experience with a yoga studio. I do yoga at home and have gone to classes at gyms, but I can honestly say that the environment, instructors and experience at Ahimsa have been delightful. My two daughters and nephew have also been doing the kids yoga and absolutely adore Ms. Heidi! I highly recommend Ahimsa to anyone- beginners and experienced yogis alike! read more

I've been a member since 2016 and love this little yoga studio. I can't say enough about the benefits of yoga- I was a beginner in 2016 and have been able to progress at my own pace. The variety of teachers and classes at Ahimsa has been wonderful to get what I need - from an intense yoga flow to a restorative class. I especially like the flexibility of being able to take classes at the other Ahimsa locations, however, I love the community and small cozy Berwyn studio by far! read more

New to yoga and I have really enjoyed having a great studio nearby. My more experienced friends have given this place high marks and got me in the door. Lots of classes that fit my schedule. Ann R. Is fantastic. Close to the Berwyn Metra stop. Highly recommended for someone starting up and I look forward to advancing. read more

I got the Groupon and I am really glad I did! I will definitely still come after my Groupon sessions are up. Ive been doing Vinyassa w Caitlin and really love it! I go on and off with yoga and definitely want to make this class a regular thing. I'm a bit uncoordinated but the way she teAches seems to really make my body work! It's a great physical and mental experience. You have to see for yourself! read more

I have been attending yoga classes at Ahimsa for about a year now and I absolutely love it! I have had many different teachers and have had great experiences with all of them... Cass, Rachel, Ashley, Mason, Kevin, Caitlin, Mona, Kristen... I'm sure I missed a few but really you can't go wrong with any of them! All of the teachers are wonderful and The atmosphere is very welcoming. read more

Love Ahimsa yoga studio! I've been to the Oak Park and Berwyn locations and both are great. The instructors are very patient, knowledgeable, warm and welcoming. I've only taken classes with Dale in Berwyn and love him! He teaches a great Hatha class. Mason is my favorite instructor at Oak Park because I love his calming voice and technique. read more

Berwyn's classes and environment are consistent with Oak Park's...I'm at home regardless of the studio I go to. In addition, a monthly membership allows you to attend sessions at any of the three locations. Words cannot describe the experience I've had going to Ahimsa. I started practicing yoga at Ahimsa in August 2014 at the Oak Park location. I was nervous. I entered the studio and was treated with nothing but respect. One amazing thing is that every teacher has his or her own style, yet they all have one thing in common...they welcome you, ask you if you have any injuries, ask if you have any questions, and honor your needs as an individual. The staff work diligently at getting to know each person that enters the studio. It only took a short time for me to attend classes and be called by my first name. Most times, when I go to the front desk, the staff person tells me they've already checked me in. It's such a personal experience. I feel welcome. It doesn't matter where you are at in your practice or your physical size. The culture is warm and accepting. I call Ahimsa my second home and attend classes regularly. Because of Ahimsa, yoga has become a regular part of my life. read more

I did the trail month of yoga and I really enjoyed the vinyasa flow and yin classes. It was awesome and the instructors remembered my name and are so friendly. I didn't like how small it was in there especially when there were a lot of people taking a class. I do like how they would ask if anyone has any injuries and they would modify the poses for you. They would even correct your pose which I thought was helpful. The prices are more affordable than other places I've seen. They even have other locations you can take classes in with the higher memberships. read more

I am absolutely new to yoga , I saw the studio in the neighborhood and thought about going in but never followed through . Finally I saw that they had an event on line to raise money for breast cancer . I attended and was hooked . I joined the unlimited first month for 49 dollars and I am trying a variety of classes. I loved every class so far and the instructors are compassionate and so well versed in their teaching , I see a change in my sleeping habits , concentration and my mood is more stable . I am so happy to have joined and I plan to continue . read more

For those of you who live in the Berwyn Community and are looking for a yoga studio Look no further. I recently purchased a 1 month package. The experience was wonderful! I'm at the intermediate level and recently moved to the community. The facility has a very intimate and homey fill to it. I will be continuing my journey to a more enlightened and peaceful life with Ahimsa. Namaste , Felicia read more

Very warm and welcoming space. Wonderful instructors, a variety of class times, lots of free parking. All in all, a wonderful studio!

Wow first to review! We went to ahimsa Oak Park for a while and really enjoyed it. We were super excited that they decided to open a location in Berwyn! The membership/class passes work at both locations, which is a bonus. The studio here is a small storefront. Street parking is usually quite easy, and there are usually more spots if you are heading north on Oak Park Ave (rather than south). The studio is small but well laid out and welcoming. A great addition to the community and I hope they stick around! For students new to yoga they have some excellent introductory offers. read more

This is the best yoga studio for anyone wanting to learn or try yoga for the first time.The instructors are friendly and explain everything in detail. Colleen is an awesome teacher for the Wednesday night Beginner's class and all of the instructors are easy to learn from. Great discounts for 1st time students as well. read more
