The Chicago School of Hot Yoga


The Candlelight yoga class at the Chicago School of Hot Yoga is a wonderful spiritual experience. Upon arrival, you walk into the studio and are greeted by someone friendly at the front desk. The locker room is all brand new and clean. After changing into comfortable clothes (and making sure you have a bottle of water) you walk to one of the two yoga rooms in the studio. The room is dark except for candles that line the outer edges of the room. For the Candlelight class, the room is usually heated to 90 degrees with 25% humidity. The class has an emphasis in vinyasa flow. This just means that the yoga poses are repeated in a flowing way. This allows for more opportunity for meditation during the practice and less focus on the actual poses themselves. I've been to a few of these classes and have never had a bad experience. Every class I've been to has been 10 people or less. Each instructor has a different style, however, I have yet to find one that wasn't calming. The classes can be as gentle or as strenuous as you would like but the experience is always a pleasant one.
