I had a great experience at BYWL last night! I'm new to Chicago and have been teaching and practicing at a studio across town and hadn't had the chance to check out BYWL. As a 14 year Bikram Yoga practitioner I've practiced and taught classes in dozens of hot yoga studios. BYWL is definitely one of the best. The heat / humidity was excellent, the studio design and mirrors are great, the lobby is comfortable and classy... an all around classic Bikram Yoga school. I was there to take a class from traveling teacher, Laju Choudhury, which was a cool way to try this studio for the first time. I hope to take some classes with some of the rest of the BYWL teachers in the future. I definitely recommend taking a class here if you get the chance.

This is an amazing old school Bikram studio ! Instructors are excellent, and it is a huge space. I used to live in Chicago and always stop through when I am back in town . Great vibes !

I have been coming here for weeks every morning but on the off chance I miss the morning class I try to pick up the one in the evening. I rode my bike 9 miles to get to today’s class and happened to get stopped at more lights than usual. I was relieved when I got there and checked the time that it was still 5:29. I rushed to the elevator and hit the button for the third floor only to find they had already locked the elevator. I realize that class starts promptly at 5:30 but if you’re cutting people off before then there needs to be some kind of notice. It would be one thing if I lived down the street but I literally put in the investment to bike 40 minutes to get to this class just to have to bike back with nothing to show for it when I got there on time?!?! That is unacceptable and I will not be returning. Not only that but when I called the person who answered patronizingly told me that “being on time is part of the yoga practice.” I WAS ON TIME! This is infuriating.

I was in town for a long weekend and looking for a traditional Bikram studio. Bikram Yoga Chicago fit the bill! Our teacher Junki was excellent, the heat and humidity were the right level, traditional dialogue was used and the showers/changing rooms were clean and well-maintained. This is a great place to practice.

I love BYWL! I used to practice Bikram yoga regularly in my 20s but life happened and got in the way which led me to abandon the practice for 10 yrs. After the longest hiatus, I decided to make time for Bikram again, and the 5:30AM class works out perfectly for me. I was a little intimidated to jump back in, but my fears and insecurities quickly went away upon walking into the space. All of the instructors are warm, welcoming, and encouraging. Even though Bikram yoga is intensely an independent practice, there is a sense of community here, and everyone is courteous to one another. The space is clean and the facility is well maintained. You will absolutely feel the heat and humidity that uniquely makes Bikram so bring your water bottle and get ready for a true physical, mental, spiritual transformation.

Great studio with a wide variety of instructors, times, and class styles. The rooms are both plenty hot, and the instructors are knowledgeable and generally Hands-On. There is no shampoo in the bathrooms so bring your own, rentals are a couple bucks if you forget, and included in the full monthly membership. Definitely worth the intro month to try it out and see if it's for you!

Bikram Yoga Chicago IL has created an experience that is just plain right. There is a feel of positive energy the moment one enters the studio. It has a very calming effect that prepares you for the session. The instructors are personable and very helpful and do make it a point to assist newbies.

So grateful to have a reliable yoga studio close to home. Great teachers and well cleaned and maintained. Most importantly a safe space. I have had bad experiences at Yogaworks and other studios in LA- I have been going about 2x a week for years now to modo and only leave happy. Thank you modo!

I absolutely love this studio. After my son was born, I was looking for something challenging both mentally and physically, and Bikram Yoga is the total package. Bikram Yoga Chicago is in the West Loop, so it's convenient for me from work. It's a gorgeous studio with amazing teachers. I feel totally renewed after every class!

Writing reviews isn’t really my thing but this last year with such uncertainties due to pandamic when everyone else was scared and closed for business and I was adding weight like snow in Chicago(? ?? ), I found bikram yoga Chicago on Adams Street that is owned and practiced passionately by Naveed, his dedication and his pro team memberscommitment towards this place inspired me, Teachers were gone, students were missing in action, and streets were deserted. But Bikram Yoga was still hot and running everyday. I saw Navid and Mary dedicatedly practicing every day morning, where I had the pleasure of joining them, and then they were two classes a day to those enthusiasts who willing came to keep their practice alive.This is perhaps where I place them a notch above else compared to studios and power gyms owned by corporations where their interest comes first, and whereas here at Bikram, 'U' are the priority, loved their sessions and I'm pretty sure I will get back under my healthy skin in a month or 2, yup I'm pretty sure and u heard it right!!, all results vary by commitment ofcourse...cheers!!!!Kudos to Naveed and team and much respect.Thank you Bikram.

Amazing space to practice the Original Hot Yoga aka Bikram Yoga. 90 minutes of bliss. They are a trusted source for the yoga. All teachers are certified to teach the yoga by the source. I have been to many studios in Chicago and throughout the world and this one by far is the most wonderful light filled space. Beautiful design, large clean mirrors, traditional carpet (easy on the joints), exxxxtra large hot room. The West Loop is the best loop and this studio has embraced and highlighted the awesome exposed brick , high ceilings, and concrete floors. This place is my sanctuary and after a year like 2020, I am so grateful to be able to practice the Best Yoga in the Best Studio around.
