Breathe better and feel better.

Join for a 90-minute immersive workshop designed to help you reconnect with your body’s most essential, yet often underused, breathing muscle. In this guided experience, you’ll learn how diaphragmatic breathing works, why it’s foundational to nervous system regulation, and how to apply it in your yoga practice and everyday life.

Explore how to shift from shallow, stress-driven breathing patterns to deeper, more efficient ones that encourage calm, focus, and resilience—one breath at a time.

Delve into the Diaphragm 🌬️
Sunday, June 7th

✨ May Teacher Spotlight ~ Caroline Manrique✨

Teaching since 2013, Caroline brings a slow burn energy. She believes yoga is a lifelong practice—each time you step on the mat is a chance to learn something new about yourself. She enjoys helping students transform in mind, body, and spirit and she loves a wide-legged forward fold—where she’ll gently remind you to let your worries spill out onto your mat and leave them there.

When she’s not at the studio, she’s baking up something delicious… focaccia, anyone?

Trust us—you can’t take just one class with Caroline.

Practice with Caroline:
Wednesdays @ 5:30pm Heated Vinyasa
Wednesdays @ 7pm: Candlelight Yin Yoga
Sundays @ 9:30am: Vinyasa
Sundays @ 11am: Heated Vinyasa

Your invitation to slow down, soften, and truly restore.

Our Friday night Restorative practice is going a little deeper in May.

As always, each class is designed to regulate your nervous system, support your body and quiet your mind through restorative postures, breath, and subtle movement. In this series, Jill will be offering a deeper understanding of the intention behind Restorative Yoga. Week by week, we build gently—creating space for your nervous system to settle, for awareness to unfold, and for presence to deepen in a way that feels sustainable and real.

Restorative Yoga ~ The Subtle Shift
Fridays at 7pm (75 minute class)
Attend one class or all four to deepen your practice and understanding of Restorative Yoga.

* Week 1 (May 8): Philosophy of Awareness + Practice
* Week 2 (May 15): Pranayama (Breath) + Practice
* Week 3 (May 22): Sensation & Subtle Movement + Practice
* Week 4 (May 29): Immersive Restorative Practice + Integration + Time for Discussion

Community is at the heart of everything we do—and this gift is a beautiful reminder of that 💙

Huge thanks to our student Lindsay Longstreth for hand crafting and donating this stunning shoe cubby bench for Yodega's lobby. Its simple, clean design incorporates the expert craftsmanship of biscuit joints - you learn something new every day!

We’re also so grateful to Damien and Erik of Unknown Origin Company in Rogers Park for sharing their space, tools, expertise, and even a custom stain to bring it to life.

This piece represents more than craftsmanship—it’s generosity, collaboration, and the good in people.

Thank you!

April Teacher Spotlight ~ Tyler McKenzie ✨

Tyler is a creative new voice on our teaching team who brings vibrant energy to every class. With a background in dance and performance, his teaching blends movement, music, and mindfulness into a class where you might just surprise yourself. Tyler’s flows encourage you to let go of what you think it is supposed to look like and explore your own rhythm and sensation.

Tyler’s favorite poses are anything that feels like flying—Half Moon, Dancer, those magical moments where balance meets freedom.

When he’s not on his yoga mat, you can find Tyler performing in Hamilton at the CIBC theater or teaching dance and musical theater. He’s all about long walks, good music, and finding little ways to feel grounded—and maybe a little glam—every day.

Come to class and you might just learn the secret post-show spot to catch your favorite actors. But don’t wait—he’s only with us through May 21 before heading off to Alaska for a yoga and dance residency.

Vinyasa
Tuesdays & Thursdays at 10am through May 21st.
