How would you describe your studio or practice (what’s the vibe)? What types of yoga classes do you offer? 

 YogaSix Highland Park offers a very modern-day approach to yoga. We create a multi-sensory experience for all of our yoga classes with studio mood lighting and a state-of-the-art heating and sound system with contemporary music that accompanies each of our six class types. Classes are suitable for brand-new beginners to advanced practitioners. We have a team of Yoga-Alliance credentialed teachers who lead intelligently sequenced classes and help clients grow their practices safely.

How has the practice of yoga changed your life personally? 

I began practicing yoga in college, and it quickly became my go-to practice. It’s an amazing workout and offers me a deep sense of well-being physically and mentally.

What inspired you to open a yoga studio? 

I wanted to own a business that contributed to the health and well-being of others. I love the philosophy of YogaSix, which promotes encouraging and empowering yoga classes with an emphasis on building an inspirational community that is accessible to all. I also love to teach and practice yoga, so owning this studio lets me work within my passion and purpose.

How have things changed over the years?

Our studio has been open for almost two years. We have enjoyed growing our community, and it continues to be an honor to contribute to the wellness journeys of all who have joined our classes.

Do you offer yoga teacher training? 

We offer both in-studio and virtual options for 200- and 300-hour YTT programs that are accredited through Yoga Alliance.

What is new and exciting happening/coming up at the studio this year? 

We are always offering special events and workshops, such as Sound Bowl Experiences, Inversion Workshops and Yoga Nidra. Check our website regularly for information on upcoming fun and engaging experiences.
