Where do I take yoga classes?
After launching my maiden blog last week, I received a number of phone and email queries about all things yoga. I’m glad to jump-start a discussion for anyone wondering if yoga might be a good fit for them; as well as for seasoned practitioners who might like to share their yoga stories.
For the record, I commute once a week to Yoga Circle in Chicago’s River North neighborhood.
The rigorous 90-minute class sets the tone each week for my daily practice at home. Yes, I practice yoga everyday for at least one hour.
But how do you find the time? You’re a busy real estate agent. Exactly! Focus is key to time management. Ask any realtor…
Yoga is the most efficient way I’ve found to help balance all facets of my well-being. Consistent yoga practice heightens awareness, relieves stress, builds strength, increases flexibility, and quiets the mind; all the while improving focus.
And those are merely the obvious benefits! More on the subtleties of yoga another time…
I once overheard an instructor tell a student, “Attending class is no substitute for daily practice.” And she was right.
I reach the studio a variety of ways on CTA from the North Side as well as from the South Loop. Located at 401 W. Ontario, 2nd floor, Yoga Circle is a short walk from the Chicago Avenue stop of the Brown Line as well as the #66 Chicago Avenue bus.
If you have a favorite yoga venue, I’d love to hear. If you have a favorite asana, by all means: share!
Namaste!
