Everyone was so welcoming, I took my first class a couple of weeks ago and the instructors along with the students were very welcoming. Every time I walked into this studio, I felt good energy all around. Instructors dedicate their moves to breathing and meditating. I really appreciate the emphasis on the breathing and really helping the students with seeking a path. They also have a pay it forward program and if students can not afford yoga sessions, they will work something out with them. Tejas yoga definitely focuses on the traditional yoga. On some Sundays, the community is offered a free yoga class usually in the evening! Definitely a great way to try out a class to feel out this studio.

Ritual immediately reminded me why I love it. The space is welcoming and incredibly clean, the teachers are knowledgeable, and the hands-on assists were chef's kiss. I also LOVE the 105° heat--there's nothing like that external warmth as you build heat internally and allow your body to really open. I left feeling like I got everything I'd been missing and more. Highly recommend, and so excited to make Ritual my Chicago home studio!

I got there early and was greeted by Niah. She helped me get acquainted with the studio and set up with my mat towel. Love a studio pup, so it was such a treat meeting Mars, Niah's dog. I appreciated the ambiance of the room. The dark walls with flameless candles created the feeling of sacredness, which is exactly what my yoga practice means to me. It's my own, and the fact I couldn't see everyone else gave me freedom to explore my practice without judgment. I honestly had no expectations of the class. I was just excited to do yoga and listen to the throwback Thursday playlist. I had no idea I was going to put in work! Plus the room was much hotter than I'm used to, so I got a good sweat in. Niah's flow was simple but also challenging as she offered options to level up the practice. It was a great well rounded class, and she made it accessible for all levels of experience. I would highly recommend this studio, and check out Niah's class! She's an awesome teacher.

I recently went on Chill's spring meditation and wellness retreat in New Buffalo, Mich. The best…read morepart of the retreat is that I still feel relaxed and have carried the energy and lessons from the weekend into my daily routine. I'll preface it by sharing that prior to the retreat, I meditated maybe a dozen times. I went on the retreat because I wanted to incorporate more meditation into my life. Now, meditation is not only something I do, but I look forward to. The entire retreat beat my (always high) expectations. Chill's retreat included two nights at the Marina Grand hotel, five meditations, three yoga sessions, a class focused entirely on breathing, a gong bath and wellness sessions on goal setting and mindful eating. I can't say enough about Laura, who ran the retreat and runs Chill; Cari, who led the yoga sessions; and Darrell who led the meditations. The hotel was lovely - our room had a fireplace and two Adirondack chairs on the marina-facing patio - perfect for your morning coffee. The retreat also included two dinners and breakfasts - all were very good and catered to all dietary needs. We had time on our own for lunch on Saturday and my friend and I wandered into town for lunch at Beer Church Brew Co. We capped off our weekend perfectly with meditation and yoga focused on loving kindness before saying goodbye to our new friends. The retreat was perfect mix of spiritual and wellness guidance and also provided necessary time for us to reflect on the lessons of the day. I'm so happy I went and I'm already looking forward to going back to Chill and to the next retreat in the fall.

The staff and instructors are so welcoming and friendly, and they have such a calm and cool vibe. I like that they like to check in/chat with students before/after class, and they are just so nice. I've taken the Wednesday and Thursday evening Zen Vinyasa classes (unheated room), and it's exactly what I was hoping for! It also was populated but not crowded which was great (though I can't speak to other days/times). I had Angel as an instructor both times when they were subbing for someone else and I really enjoyed it! Angel has a simultaneously soothing and strong voice (in the best way for a yoga class) that is great for motivating students during class and I love their inspiring words and playlist that begin and end our classes. The studio itself is cozy yet spacious enough to have multiple rooms for various classes and a lounge area in the center with lots of comfy pillows and a coffee station. I see people hang out there and it makes it feel like a community vibe. I like that there are lots of hooks, hangers, benches, and lockers in the front and back of the studio and in the actual bathrooms/locker rooms so it feels like there's plenty of space to place your things. It's also very clean!

Unfortunately, both times I have come here there has been music playing throughout the entire session. Not ambient instrumentals but whole entires songs with lyrics and bridges and choruses and stuff. And not very good ones. I personally cannot focus on the words of the instructor or my breath and body with tacky lyrics being pumped into my ears. I come to the mat to cultivate focus and presence, and I find it impossible in this space. This place is definitely for someone, but not people who are sensitive to noise or enjoy a more traditional yoga practice. Much love.

First, the studio itself--right from the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and friendly staff, which may seem like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference. The studio offers a locker room, and if you forget your mat, you can rent one for $3 (so be sure to bring yours!). The class was fantastic. The floor is marked to help you position your mat correctly, and Kelsey took the time to demonstrate the flow we'd be working toward, which was such a helpful touch. The practice included some challenging moves, but there were always modifications available. The studio's bright, window-filled space and heated environment made for an energizing experience. I can't recommend this class and instructor enough--I'm already looking forward to my next session!

I started going to Tula in 2012 and have been a member ever since for so many reasons. First and foremost, I have met some INCREDIBLE teachers at this studio who have taught me so much about alignment (by feel, of course- no mirrors in this studio!), how to listen to my own body and respond accordingly, and how to treat each class as an opportunity to check in - and never a time to simply "push yourself" or "sweat it out". I love how this studio values and seems to honor each teacher's personal approach and personality, allowing you to easily find the instructors who you best jive with. I'd imagine there's someone for everyone here, whether you are looking for someone to make you giggle (Cassi), cry tears of gratitude (Rhiannon), jam out (Kathryn), feel like you somehow also got a bonus mini massage (Veronica), feel super chill and peaceful (Melissa) or get unexpectedly pushed to new limits delivered by the most mellow voice ever (Monica). And those are just some of the folks I've been practicing with for years- everyone has been so lovely and there are many I've yet to even practice with. Other things that need to be mentioned- the fact that everything you need- mat, towels, props, even hairbands!- are all available and free to use. PLUS they store your mats if you prefer. That is so rare and such a courtesy to folks who may be hurrying in from work or whatnot. There's also the yogi citizen program and the efforts to add other holistic experiences to the repertoire, like Solstice Malas, special events (GLOWGA, anyone??) and partnerships with other amazing local businesses like Five Point Holistic Health (who deserve a review from me too, come to think of it...). Tula is why I finally have made a practice of yoga, and I'm so glad to call it my studio!
