I'm coming up on the end of my 2 week intro pass. I've had such a lovely time coming to Tula's different yoga classes. Amazing instructors! They have all kind of tools for you to use to relax & feel comfortable during class - my favorite is the warm eye pillow for the end of the class shavasana. I plan on coming back again to extend my membership. read more

Tula Yoga Studio - Current schedule (12/15/23) I'm sure it changes so check online! - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Tula isn't just a yoga studio - it's a place of community and education, too! I just finished Tula's 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course and can't say enough great things. For anyone considering expanding their yoga journey or curious about meditation and mindfulness, definitely check out Tula and the MBSR course. Maile was a fantastic instructor and I'm looking forward to continuing to stay connected to Tula for yoga and all the other cool classes and community events she has as well!!! - Shannon M. read more

Thank you, Rachel, for answering my question about yoga. It is not just about physical fitness--you stressed it is a practiced discipline that includes the integration of the body, spirit, and mental activity. As you stressed, yamas are the moral guidelines of yoga. The yamas represent a series of "right living" or ethical rules within Yoga philosophy. Their practice influences our relationships with others and with ourself. I particularly was interested in learning more about Aparigraha. the last Yama in Pantanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga. The term translates to "non-greed" or "non-possessiveness". The virtue of Aparigraha helps us learn to take what is necessary and to take no more than is needed. I found the following link to be invaluable: https://yogachicago.com/2014/03/aparigraha-gravity-of-greed-and-magnetism-of-ligh read more

Mr. Yelp and I are new to the Logan Square area and needed some form of exercise and neighborhood connection. We started at Tula with the beginner class on Saturday morning with Michelle. We were able to walk there and it's near my chiropractor and Target and Revolution Brewing and Steel Petal Press and more! If you drive, you do have to pay for parking on Milwaukee and the side streets are permit only so be careful. Michelle is a fantastic instructor. Very clear instructions, lots of options to go easier or harder, very welcoming. The facility is lovely and clean, and they have all the equipment you might need. We both bought the 2 week starter package and will continue on with the unlimited monthly package. read more

Wonderful space! Visiting town and popped in for a class. Nichole is wonderful. Her class is creative and inspiring. Will be my go to spot! read more

Tula is da bees knees! a warm welcoming place! A beautiful studio with warm, knowledgable teachers. We started yoga three weeks ago, and have felt supported the whole way through. Love the multi level classes. Leave your ego at the door, this place is a community for everyone! Wapaaaah! read more

Tula Yoga Studio - Yoga Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I tried to get into yoga at least 4 different times in my life, and it just never took- whether it be the timing of classes, the location of the studio, or most importantly- the way a class left me feeling meh or even blah half the time. 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! read more

Not the cheapest, not the friendliest, and often overcrowded--however, it's the best (and only) yoga studio north Logan Square has to offer. At least until the trixies moving in from Lincoln Park reach critical mass. Just get there early so you don't find yourself gazing directly into your neighbor's buttcrack as you attempt a forward fold. read more

I attended the Saturday Plus Size Yoga class with Michelle and absolutely loved it. It's so great to see a class with a specific focus - they have been hard to find in Chicago. People just need a place to go to get started somtimes..... They have all the props you need, in a large while calming/cozy space. Easily accessible by the blue line and relatively easy street parking - especially in the morning. I have done yoga 2 times before, and what I noticed about this class is that I really focused on my breathing all the way through the class. Michelle did a great job of continuing to bring the mind back to the breath, something I tend to struggle with remembering to do. My first assessment of the class what that it felt a lot less strenuous than the other beginner classes I've taken. However, later in the day, I could tell that I felt even more stretched out than I ever have been before from a class. The poses look "gentle" but they really worked! I'm definitely coming back. Super bonus points that it's across the street from Revolution Brewery - I can get some yoga in and grab a growler to take home after class! read more

I knew I was hooked even before their doors opened - but three classes in and Tula Yoga has lived up to or exceeded my expectations. One of their goals is to create a 'yoga community' -- and I was impressed by my first class when the instructor (Allison Lehner) asked us to introduce ourselves to others in the class. It was a nice way to feel connected and familiar with those around you. I very much enjoy the heated vinyasa flow-style of yoga, having practiced at a Baron Baptiste studio in Austin, TX. The three teachers I've had at Tula have all focused on the core sun salutations, but have each had their own style, which is great to keep things interesting. Each instructor also has asked for recommendations on areas to focus on, which I think is thoughtful. The studio space is very comfortable, and the classes have had a handful of people, but have never been crowded. They provide mats and towels to everyone at no charge, which is convenient especially if you ever want to go straight from work. Their retail section has some cute t-shirts and yoga clothes, which I plan to peruse the next time I am there! Maile, the owner, is super friendly and everyone who I have met who works there also is very friendly and welcoming. So excited to have this great studio in Logan Square, a mere 2 blocks from my house!!! read more

Oh Tula, how I love thee. Let me count the ways: 1 - You're so close to my house & I can just walk to you. lovely! 2 - Your classes are a great bargain. Not only are your class packages a great deal, but they also don't expire! AND - you offer daily candy deals that current students can take advantage of! Perfection. 3 - Your instructors are a delight - especially Cassi. I love Cassi's classes without fail 4 - Your space is comfortable & cute. Not too hot, not too cold. It kind of feels like a warm hug. 5 - You offer great events and series - beginner's yoga, Nidra reset, yoga challenges (that I unfortunately haven't been able to take advantage of due to travel, but someday...). Basically - you make me want to do more yoga. You took a yoga skeptic and made a believer out of me! read more

Best yoga around. Great teachers, great classes and a great location. I'm new at practicing yoga and I love that the classes here are a mix of experiences. All of the teachers are great and help you in your individual practice whatever level you're at. Two thumbs up. read more

I. Love. Tula. Since my friends are probably all sick of hearing me glow by now, I figured it best to share it on Yelp now. Having been to a lot of different studios, I immediately felt at home here. The studio itself is beautiful and calming, but also Maile and the staff are incredibly warm and welcoming. You will never feel out of place or intimidated at Tula; this is a place where your teacher asks your name because she actually cares, and not out of formality or obligation. Oh, and the teachers? They are AMAZING. I have never had the joy of having such wonderful teachers who really know how to challenge you while also offering thorough explanations that stick with you and help you become a more mindful practitioner, whatever your "level". Tula also has really cool workshops, kids' classes, and Yoga Within Reach (which is sorely neglected at many studios)....oh, and tea! If you are starting out and nervous, or are more practiced and looking for a fun and engaging practice....Come to Tula. You will love it, too! read more

Tula Yoga is a great, welcoming studio conveniently located off the blue line. The instructors are top notch--my practice skyrocketed after taking vin lessons from Chris, Mara and Rhiannon (I'd mention everyone but there's just not space), and I never thought yin could be as challenging as fulfilling until I went to yin with Rachel. Definitely would recommend to anyone read more

I went to Tula today and found the perfect balance of fitness and relaxation. I liked how the instructor, David, encouraged us to make the practice our own, inviting us to do whatever felt comfortable. At the same time it was a strenuous class, and the room was buzzing with energy. I am new to yoga and only went to the class to spend time with my girlfriend who loves Tula a lot, and David was very gracious and helped me keep up. He even took the time to talk to me after class. The studio is clean, has ample supplies (free mats!), and best of all, you can hear the gentle murmur of the blue line going by overhead. Talk about soothing! read more

I signed up without even a trial package after touring the studio and meeting the owner back in May. I've been going almost everyday since. I've been doing yoga in and off for 20 years and Tula is the first actual studio I've attended. I was super nervous I'd look like the class fool but that went away the first 30 seconds of the first class. A student saw me look a little lost and helped me without asking. The instructor overheard and introduced herself and offered help. She asked me about my experience, limitations, goals and things like basically make me tick. I'm a bit of an odd duck at a Logan Square studio. I'm heavier and older than most. I only mention because almost all my friends say these two things scare them away from studios. DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELF! No judgment, no feeling like you have to lose weight or get more flexible or any other nonsense. Grab your yoga pants and go. Even the students are wonderful- I mention this because really the students don't owe you anything. These are just the sort of beautiful people Tula attracts. The instructors are simultaneously gentle and challenging. Don't know how they do it. No judgment, only support. Some days I feel like I just want to do child's pose for an hour, they'd give me rest options. Some days I want to move way out of my comfort zone, these amazing instructors give me specialized advice for advanced options. They watch the students during class and notice how you move and and practice. They offer suggestions like they read my mind :) read more

Tula is not only a beautiful yoga studio (so very clean and fresh), it is also a warm, welcoming environment that provides each and every participant with a strong sense of community. The studio is small and each time I've gone in, I've been greeted with a smile, and by my first name--I always feel a real sense of belonging when I go (cue Cheers theme). I would consider myself to be on the lower end of intermediate as far as yoga skills go, but I have seen and felt my abilities improve immensely after having attended classes at Tula (for around five weeks now). The classes provide the right combination of physical challenge and mental relaxation,and the instructors never make you feel incompetent. I come away from each class feeling renewed, confident, and eagerly anticipating the next class. Yoga is meant to be an exercise in self and body awareness--you should come away feeling good about what you just did. Yoga at Tula does all of this. read more

I LOOOOOVE Tula. I'm getting back into yoga and happened upon Tula last week. I just bought my membership and can't wait to spend more time at the studio. It's clean, comforting, open, and doesn't smell like a foot, often a problem at hot yoga studios. And they have free tea! Who doesn't love that? The classes are small. Last night I did a heated vinyasa with 3 people - the instructor, an instructor taking a class, and me. It was great! I love that the classes are small and that they are striving to create a community - it makes getting back into yoga less intimidating. The location is great too for Squareans (the name that I am giving people who live in Logan Square right now) - right off the Cali blue line stop at Milwaukee and Belden. Also the membership is transferable, so your friends can take classes with your card. What other place does that? It's awesome. I can't wait to continue building a community with Tula! read more

This is the most wonderful yoga studio, ever! The sense of authentic community surrounds you immediately as you walk into the space, regardless of age, shape and years of practise. Personally, I have had a rough go of it this year: multiple surgeries and subsequent recoveries that impeded my physical progress at every turn. Throughout the year, the staff and fellow yogi's at Tula have offered me support, appropriate physical adjustment and just...kindness. You can work on your "yoga body" anywhere. When you enter Tula, you begin to feel how you are so much more than that.... Go. read more

Another great addition to Logan Square! I dropped in on Jody Weinmann's beginner vinyasa class, I have a good deal of experience with vinyasa, but it had been a few years so I wanted to warm into it again - and couldn't resist checking out a brand new studio within walking distance. Jody was great, keeping the "flow" going while being instructional (nothing worse than a vinyasa class that feels like it's always starting and stopping), and a great vibe. The studio itself is spacious and very new feeling, and I can report the climate control was in full effect. I'll definitely be coming back, and wish Tula great success! read more

My favorite yoga studio in the city. It's clean, the price is right and they treat the place like a studio, not a gym! Free mat, towel and everything rental. There is no cancellation policy and a monthly unlimited is only $99. The teachers are great, and they update their online schedule daily with who the teachers are if there is going to be a sub. There are no mirrors, which I think is fantastic. Whether there is music or not depends on the teacher. Their business philosophy is to be inclusive, and they don't just say "all levels welcome", they mean it and make you feel welcome, no matter your ability. I've moved out of the neighborhood and keep putting off finding a new studio. I don't want to practice anywhere else! read more

I've been going to Tula since their opening a few months ago and love it. Great location close to the EL and very nice studio. They provide clean mats and towels, but it appears many people just bring their own and leave them there. Everyone there seems to know your name and genuinely care about your well being. I have been to a few places that seem like they just want to pack as many people as possible in a room and make their money. Tula has more of a family feel to it. I've gone to classes with about 5 different instructors and they all have their own styles, but all did a good job. I'm in the health and fitness field and appreciate all of the instructors going through easier and harder versions of the poses. I believe the majority of the classes cater to all levels. I usually do daytime classes and they are generally speaking pretty small which I like. Everyone gets a little extra attention and correction if needed. I can honestly say, I always leave so happy that I came and wondering why I don't go even more. read more

This is my favorite yoga studio by far, for a few reasons: The space here is great-- it's open and clean, but still inviting. I've taken classes with a bunch of different instructors, since I don't go at the same times usually, and all of them have been great. They're good at instructing a range of levels and very helpful with getting you aligned correctly in positions. If you're in the Logan Square area, it's a very easy walk, and it's close to the California blue line stop. read more

Warm community and great teachers in a clean, serene setting. I've been coming hear for years and hope to continue attending for many more.

I completed Tula's first 200-RYT Training program a few months ago. I decided to do my training Tula because it's a really community-minded space and the teaching training program was run by a variety of teachers. I really valued being able to see and learn from teachers across a range of styles, backgrounds, strengths, voices, and body types. Because there were multiple teachers leading the course, I felt like each lesson was taught by someone who had a true knowledge of and passion for their area. It also meant trainees got more specialized workshops on topics like Yoga for Trauma, Pre-natal Yoga, and Yoga for Specialized Populations. Tula's teachers are really approachable and represent a variety of styles and philosophies. If you're considering doing a teacher training program and want to explore your practice/teaching style in an encouraging and flexible environment, Tula is a great fit! read more

I live in Humboldt Park and my regular studio for gentle yoga is in Lincoln Square, not very convenient. When I saw that Tula offered a few gentle yoga classes I was excited. Natalie's Monday class was wonderful and I promptly signed up for a package. She is a wonderful teacher- professional, compassionate, and has positive energy. A couple weeks later there was a sub who also teaches a gentle class at Tula. Although she was a good teacher and had positive energy the class was far from what I would call gentle. Poses included multiple full vinyasas, crow, shoulder stand, wheel, and full pigeon. I asked Natalie about this since I also had planned on trying a third teacher's class. She told me that both those instructor's class differ from hers and are not what I would classify as gentle. One of the instructor teaches at another studio and although they offer gentle classes, her class is described as "gentle and strong". I thought, oh well, I will stick with Natalie's class. I now see that the class has been cut from 75 minutes to 60 minutes. I am disappointed as the cost remains the same per class and it is one of two that I would take. I like the studio and the location is better for me, but after my package runs out I probably will make a better effort to attend classes at my other studio as they cater to a different clientele. read more

When I moved to Chicago a little over 2 years ago, I did not know a single soul in the city. My very first Friday evening here, I walked over to Tula for the happy hour yoga class and immediately felt like I had found my home. The class was both vigorous for those that wanted it and calming for others (my mark of a great class has usually been how many different types of people it can suit). Afterwards, we all gathered for wine and munchies and right away I felt part of a community. Since then, I have never missed a happy hour yoga class when I'm in Chicago. Since that class over 2 years ago, I am pretty sure that I have tried almost every class and practiced with every instructor at the studio and have never been disappointed. However, probably my favorite thing about Tula is how much of a community yoga studio it is. They offer FREE classes in the parks around Logan Square and at the farmer's market, they give you discounts for volunteering with local organizations, they always bring in treats from local shops for happy hour, and you can always come early to class or stay late after to have tea and chat with the fabulous people that are always at the studio. This will always be my favorite place in Logan Square! read more

Tula is great, in particular the Prenatal Yoga class taught by Olinka (weekly on Sundays). All the pregnant mamas-to-be out there should definitely check it out! I went every single week I could from week 12 through 40! It was so helpful at managing my pregnancy and having a calm and strong birth experience. Thank you Olinka, you are a rockstar! read more

Lovely little studio!!! I love Tula so much that I feel home sick for it when I have to travel for work and can't make my favorite classes. I have maybe done 15 classes there and a few of the free classes at the Logan Square market. All of the instructors are amazing. Wide variety of styles and every class is very welcoming. They have a broad range of classes throughout the day which is really accommodating. I used to take yoga religiously at the gym I worked at and really thought I loved the instructors there but it wasn't until Tula that I realized how many great inspirational teachers exist. I have achieved more in my practice here than anywhere else. read more

Cute studio. Got a 3-class package to try things out, which I thought was a pretty good deal. My first class was good, but I couldn't find time to make it back until late July. Unfortunately, I missed the 30 day cut-off point for using up the rest of the classes in my package by a couple days. The receptionist wouldn't budge at all on allowing me to redeem even one of the classes. I understand that rules are rules, but this left kind of a bad taste in my mouth. Yoga is already so expensive, I would have hoped they'd be willing to make a small exception. So I don't think I'll be going back. Nice that there's a yoga studio in this area, though. read more

They provide nice clean mats if needed. I give it 3 stars because I purchased a 3 visit package but I was out of town and when I came back for my last class I was apparently a day or two after the 30 days. (I thought I had a month.) I asked if they would make an exception, but they wouldn't budge. I would hope the yoga place I choose to practice would have a bit more flexibility. read more

I love this studio!! It is so awesome. Very friendly staff and very nice space. So far I have only taken Happy Hour Yoga, and it was a lot of fun. The drinks and snacks after are great. And I enjoyed the instructor. I love that this studio is so close to my house. Can't wait to come again! read more

Wonderful yoga studio. They make everyone feel welcome, and overall the place has awesome energy. Amanda & Cassie are my favorites, but I haven't had an instructor that wasn't great. They have so many class times that it's easy to work into your schedule. Shame on reviewer Amelia S. who gave a lower rating because she didn't use her sessions in time & expected the receptionist to bend the rules! You are ridiculous. read more

I've been to 3 classes so far and I have really enjoyed all of them. The space is clean and beautiful and the vibe is very unpretentious and friendly. A lot of the classes are heated but not uncomfortably so. Many other studios I have been to crank up the heat so high that you are slipping off your own skin in some poses. It is clear that the studio was thoughtfully created and is being mindfully run. Can't wait to come back for more! read more

Where to begin? Tula is amazing. The logan square location is perfect, it's just what the neighborhood needed! The space is beautiful and welcoming! The first face you see when you enter will surely be smiling and inviting. All of the instructors are supportive yet challenge you. Tula is devoted to fostering a sense of community, starting with bolstering individual self-confidence. This goal shines through in the demeanor of the staff and instructors and gracefully carries over to every element of practice. I have been practicing for about two years with off and on devotion. Tula provides incredible classes for beginners, experts, and those (like me) are a bit rusty but want to build their practice. The heat is challenging, but not overbearing. Tula provides all the props you could ever need and even free mats and towels! Lisa, one of the office managers, knew my name by the second time I visited! Every class I've taken (about 10 at this point) has started with introductions. These introductions connect you to the instructor and to the other class members in a way that calms you and welcomes you to the mat that day. I especially suggest Adrienne, David, and Cassi if you want a challenge or just want to learn something new and surprising! These instructors made the class fun, interesting, and difficult without making me feel defeated. I do yoga because my body and soul need it. I go to Tula because it encourages and strengthens the work my body and soul has already started. I've been to other studios in Chicago. If you're looking for a solitary practice w/out feedback...go to those other studios. If you're looking for warmth and community...go to Tula. read more

As a long time student and graduate of Tula Yoga Studios' 200 hour Teacher Training Program, I have great love for this studio. While classes can fill up, it only speaks to their quality in teachers and programs. In my experience, the Training Program was amazing. While any 200h program will demand time, the team of teachers managed to make a schedule that allowed any 9-5er to attend. They also offered a wealth of knowledge through a collective of distinct, well informed teachers. Other programs, such as Gong Baths, and workshops are fantastic. Go, practice. read more

last week i went to revolution brewery and spotted tula from across the street. i was in the middle of eating a very tasty and incredibly unhealthy meal of fish and chips and decided my "no french fry left behind" diet needed a little balance. i made the mental note to check tula out later and i got my chance to check it out today. my first impression: really clean facility, super cute and they were completely tolerant of the fact that i was running a little late for class. on the class itself: i've been to probably 10 different yoga classes over the years and never really stuck with it because i feel like i was always in a class that was a little out of my league for being a beginner, but not here. i did the plus-sized yoga class with michelle and she was fantastic as a teacher and did a great job of showing the variations of what you could do to make it ease on certain parts of your body or push yourself a little more. the plus-sized thing caught my interest because another part of yoga that always drove me crazy was having to be in a room with a bunch of lulamon or stell-clad urban yogis with six-packs all too ready to show off their ability to make like a pretzel. more power to those ladies, but i find that to be a little to much to handle with my mild saturday morning hangover. great class. great facility. wish classes were just a little cheaper, but they have the monthly pass thing so maybe i will check that out when i go back next saturday. read more

YOGA TO THE PEOPLE I have been taking yoga for several months now elsewhere. I have a "go to" Yoga studio that I prefer for yoga. However, a former co-worker who lives in Logan Square and was raving about the Tula Yoga Studio as being "the best" Yoga classes in the city. I decided to take three yoga classes here and see how true this is (or is not). The reason I am rating it with 4-stars is because (a) they do not have enough showers here (I really dislike getting into my car all funky (b) the 3-day package is only for 30-days ($30 for three which is very reasonable) and (c) it is not a large space so it felt a bit too tight. I got in my 3-days of yoga classes just in the nick of time. The three Instructors I took classes with were (are) fantastic and enthusiastic. I liked the clean lines of the studio. I liked the colors and the beautiful hardwood floor. I liked the people at the front desk. They were very hospitable, charming and pleasant. The fact that they have no mirrors didn't bother me one way or the other. This is a no-frills yoga studio. Bring your own towel, yoga mat and drink plenty of water before class. I enjoyed the yoga classes very much, and recommend this yoga studio if you live in the area or not very far from Logan Square. The price-point is not over-the-top expensive. You can purchase 10 classes for $140 or pay $99 per month for "unlimited" classes in a one-month period. If you do yoga everyday the $99 per month is cost-effective. They also offer a membership that you can "share" with a friend. However, for $129 per month you get a pass you can share with a friend, but there is one stipulation for the "shared" membership. What is it you wonder? The downside is that you cannot attend classes together, which is such a stupid rule (of course, if you were planning to car pool together and have a yoga buddy, and save some money on gas, it is not going to happen). The positive for a "shared" membership is that you can both attend unlimited classes. Also, another positive here: You both receive discounts on retail items, yoga events and/or workshops (but that is where it ends). They offer yoga classes as early as 6 am and as late as 9:15 pm (from yoga basics to advanced yoga), which is a positive. The negative is that they are only 45-minutes. I actually prefer 1-hour classes or 1-hour and 15-minute classes. The Instructors that I had at the Tula Yoga Studio were/are ALL EXCELLENT. Instructors receive 5-stars! Although I enjoyed the three classes I do not see myself returning again, because this yoga studio is no where near my home-base. The dumbest rule is selling a "shared" pass and not allowing the two friends to attend classes together. This is ridiculous! Sometimes people want to come together for encouragement and/or support. Sometimes friends share the cost of a babysitter just to get to a yoga class (I know this happens a lot at my "to go" yoga studio). With the high cost of gas it is nice to car pool with a yoga buddy every now and again. Now, Tula, get your act together and provide your customers with some flexibility. read more

I really like Tula Yoga Studio. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, and every class I have taken has been just the right level of challenge (I am an intermediate level yoga practitioner). Teachers work on difficult poses in classes, but always provide modifications for learners who may not be ready to attempt them. I really like the multi-level class experience because it motivates me to work harder in my practice. read more

Great classes, friendly and never too crowded. Tula will be an institution in Logan Square in a few more years!
