The good thing about living in a city as large and diverse as Chicago is that various practices and customs of other countries find their way into local neighborhoods. Chicagoans looking for spiritual and physical health should consider Bikram yoga – developed by Bikram Choudhury, a popular form of yoga that can be learned at many centers throughout the city. Researching online or through the many local free papers is a great way to find out where the closest Bikram yoga classes are held.

Young urban hipsters are usually the demographic to look at when wanting to see what’s trendy. Bikram yoga is very popular among young urban professionals, so many of the classes that offer instruction can be found in the trendier neighborhoods of Chicago.
Bikram yoga Chicago has two locations in Chicago’s most popular areas: Wicker Park and Lincoln Park. Scheduled classes are offered, and students can visit the Website, www.bycic.com for events and news. The center also offers massage and acupuncture. The location in Wicker Park is 1344 N Milwaukee and the Lincoln Park address is 2736-A N Clark.
Another hotspot in Chicago is on Chicago Ave, close to the downtown area, where many of the city’s art galleries are located. Easily accessible by the CTA’s Brown Line Chicago stop, the area is another oasis for the city’s young, creative set. Bikram yoga in the City touts itself as the “Chicago’s original
Bikram yoga studio.” Located at 219 W Chicago Ave, 6th Fl, the studio is hailed by citysearch.com as “Best yoga Studio” in 2006.
The studio’s convenient location also makes it a plus for business workers coming home from the Loop. Those interested should visit the Website www.bikramcitychicago.com for more information and rates. Check out the special introductory for students they offer from time to time.
Further north from the downtown area in the Ravenswood area, is the cleverly title Om on the Range yoga Studio, which offers not only Bikram yoga, but Baptiste Power yoga, as well. Like Bikram yoga in the City, Om on the Range yoga Studio is accessible on the Brown Line, at the Addison and Irving Park stops.
There are Chicago Websites on the Internet that can help seekers find
Bikram yoga classes throughout the city. A perusal through the Chicago Reader, the leading, free alternative-press newspaper of the city is also a great way to look for yoga instructors, as well as, studios. It seems through the popularity of Bikram yoga, that despite the controversy of its founder and his ideas of business and copyright, Chicagoans are ready to embrace the hot trend.
