Starting Monday, June 2nd, Ahimsa Yoga Studio in Wicker Park (60622) launches a new Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga program led by Ariel Forcier and Lily Luna. This offering is ideal for anyone—from curious beginners to experienced yogis—looking to build a consistent, personalized yoga practice rooted in tradition and community.
What is Mysore Yoga?
Mysore is the traditional method of learning Ashtanga Yoga, where students move through a set sequence at their own pace with individual guidance from the teacher. Unlike a led class, Mysore is quiet and self-directed. Ariel and Lily offer personalized support, helping students build strength, flexibility, and internal focus over time.
Whether you’re located in Bucktown, Ukrainian Village, or Wicker Park, our morning Mysore space offers a grounding, welcoming environment to start your day with purpose.
Class Schedule
Mysore Practice: Monday through Friday, 7:00–9:00 AM (drop in anytime)
Led Primary Series: Saturdays, 7:00–8:30 AM
First Saturday Free
Beginning June 7, join us on the first Saturday of every month for a free Led Primary class from 7:00–8:00 AM, followed by coffee and snacks from 8:00–8:30 AM. It’s a great chance to connect with fellow students and the teachers in a casual, welcoming setting.
