It's time to show Niyama some love: Niyama, since it first opened well over a decade ago, has always been a studio looking to provide yoga and create community while being committed to an idea of Karma: unselfishly trying to do some good, while not worrying about the fruits of that, and trusting in that. SO MUCH of Niyama revolves around that. It's why every year we've had 100% of our Thanksgiving classes go straight to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, and why we work with RefugeeOne during the holidays with the Giving Tree. It's why when we choose our Karma Charities we've always looked for local, small-scale charities to work-with: where we know the money we donate truly does provide the most good from Curt's Cafe and Syd Rocks, to Feed the Dream, Designs for Dignity and all the other groups we've worked with over the years. At a certain point though, Niyama needs a bit of love/self-care for itself, in the form of fixing up the studio so we can continue. It's not just self-care, but something that is a bit overdue. For it to succeed though, it requires help from the community that has grown here since we first opened.

The power of the psoas can have you in fight mode when you don’t intend to. When the illiopsoas is released there’s more fluid breathing, bounce to our step, we stand taller, experience inner calm and better digestion. Time will be spent learning the anatomy, locating the muscles in your body and working on movement exercises aimed at releasing, lengthening and toning. Come for hip opening like none other!
