ANOTHER NEW INSTRUCTOR ALERT FOR OUR ELSTON LOCATION...and ALSO AT MONTROSE!!!!

As a registered yoga teacher with hundreds of hours of yoga teaching experience and a master's degree in Yoga Studies, they have a deep understanding of the practice's history, philosophy, and global impact. Drawing on the guidance and professional mentorship of senior teachers and experts in the field of yoga, they have created and led retreats, classes, workshops, and long-term series for practitioners of all ages. 

Specializing in offerings for all levels, the LGBTQ+ community, and teens, H stresses the importance of listening to the body, the power of repetition, and the awareness of the breath. H’s teaching combines poetry, dynamic movement, intentional music sequencing, mindfulness, lightheartedness, and self-reflection.

ANOTHER NEW INSTRUCTOR ALERT AT OUR NEW (and 2nd) LOCATION...

Jasmine Braggs' yoga journey led her to complete her 200-hour certification in St. Louis in 2018 and a Restorative Yoga certification in Denver in 2023. Since then, she's taught Vinyasa, deep stretch, restorative, and kids yoga...each one bringing its own joy and creativity.

She loves that yoga can be lighthearted and energizing while still offering steadiness and grounding. Her intention is to create classes that feel welcoming, accessible, and empowering...where students can move, breathe, laugh, rest, and leave feeling more connected to themselves.

Join Jasmine in her Form & Flow every Tuesday & Thursday at 8:00am at 4001 N Elston Ave.

Form & Flow is an energizing and intentional vinyasa class blending continuous movement with moments of balance and strength. Guided by breath and awareness, we will build heat and energy through fluid transitions. We will end our practice with a grounding and deeply relaxing sound bath helping you flow into your day with ease.

ANOTHER NEW INSTRUCTOR ALERT FOR OUR NEW (and 2nd) ELSTON LOCATION...

Meet Michael Belmares. His path in movement began in 2017 in Raleigh, North Carolina where he completed his foundational 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. Since then, he has spent nearly a decade refining his craft across a variety of specialized contexts. 

● An Expert in Recovery: Serving as a Lead Flexologist at StretchLab, Mike developed a deep understanding of body mechanics and the science of assisted stretching.
● High-Performance Wellness: Taught at Lifetime Fitness, YogaSix, Crunch Fitness- both large and small boutique studios.
● Taught regularly for the guests and staff at the Ronald McDonald House. Also used to teach adults with developmental disabilities.
● Through his brand, Metromonk LLC, and his signature "Create Space" journaling workshops around Chicagoland, Mike has pioneered a method of combining physical movement with mental clarity.

Mike’s teaching style specializes in helping students "create space within the noise."  Known to his community as Yoga Mike, he tries to bring a unique blend of athleticism (when it’s appropriate), mindfulness to the mat and creating space both physically through stretch therapy and mentally through mindful movement.

His classes are challenging enough to test your limits, yet grounded enough to bring you home to yourself.
