✨ Meet Mandi! ✨

Mandi joined our team this spring and now leads the Monday 7am All Levels Yoga class! Read about Mandi below and on our blog!

What is your approach to teaching?
I am passionate about creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere in my yoga classes, where all students feel respected. I believe that yoga is for everyone - no matter your race, body type, economic background, language, or gender. Representation and accessibility matter, and I aim to uplift all voices in my classes. I enjoy teaching yoga as a tool for personal growth and helping students feel more confident and empathetic towards one another, and themselves.

🌳 Join us for another amazing summer at Gallagher Way. 🌳

It is a truly unique Chicago summer experience to practice yoga right in the shadow of Wrigley Field, and to feel the city waking up all around you.

We hope to see you there for a free class soon!

✨PERCEPTION✨

Yoga Sutra 4.9
Jāti deśa kāla vyavahitānām apy ānantaryaṃ smṛti saṃskārayor ekarūpatvāt
Even though birth, place and time separate us, the continuity between memory and subliminal impressions (samskaras) gives us a common identity.

Understanding the nature of time frees us from the feedback loop of cause and effect. We understand that the previous moment when we didn’t have the object of our desire is ultimately the same as the next moment, when we did. Nature may have shifted but really, it’s all the same.

Join Aki on Sunday May 31st at 1pm for a Props Workshop!

There's a million ways to use props in our yoga practice and most classes only skim the surface.

This workshop will give us ample time to explore the many ways we can use props to deepen postures while maintaining proper alignment within our bodies. Participants will leave with a sense of space and strength within their bodies and a new understanding of how they can incorporate props into their daily practice.

Open to all levels of yogis from beginner to advanced. The beauty of props is that they allow us to tailor our practice to ourselves!

Does your downward facing dog feel tense? Uncomfortable? Does it seem more difficult than it needs to be?

This pose does not need to be painful. It may seem like a simple or "easy" pose, but, there are actually many muscles working and many physical components of this foundational posture.

In this ten minute video, Rachel shows you how your downward facing dog, Adho Mukha Svanasana, can feel better and more easeful.
