Rent a yoga studio in Chicago, IL

As yoga and mindfulness continue to catch on, demand for classes is skyrocketing all over the country. That means yoga teachers are in huge demand, making spaces for classes even more important. As a destress exercise, yoga classes are a great benefit for companies and brands looking to help their staff unwind. Yoga studios are also a great place to meet like-minded people, socialize after work, and discover ways to befriend your body.
Fortunately, securing a yoga studio space need not be difficult. Since yoga classes tend to be intimate (less than 100 people), event spaces are plentiful. For a traditional feel, dance classrooms, gyms, YMCA buildings, and even public school gymnasiums are popular choices. These spaces are all available for rent at varying rates. Many also provide mats, towels, water fountains, fans for hot days, bathrooms, and other amenities.
Outdoor venues at public parks and beaches are another way to help yoga practitioners of all skill levels find inner balance. Montrose Beach in Uptown is a popular venue for small outdoor events as are the other city beaches along Lake Michigan. But what if we want a studio, complete with air conditioning and supporting technology?

As idyllic as outdoor yoga can be, having A/C, fans, wooden floors, and speakers is a big plus. Therapeutic businesses like Room to Breathe Psychotherapy and Yoga on East Washington St. offer rental space for instructors. Their modern yoga studio is ideal for private classes — and even as a space for therapy — especially if your guests are already in the Loop district.
For a social, relaxed yoga event, look into beer yoga at The Taproom. The classes include a brew to get you started and another post-yoga drink to relax and socialize with. And if you care to come back later, Revolution Brewing happens to be one of the largest craft breweries in the nation and offers dozens of options to sample.

Another great way to hold space for a yoga class is to check in with existing yoga studios. Many allow teachers to hold a class in their building, especially if the instructor specializes in a style that would bring in a lot of business.
Existing yoga studios are going to have everything you need to hold a class from the onset. Besides blocks, mats, and towels they should have audio-visual equipment so everyone in the back knows when to shift their pose. Mirrored walls help guests check their posture and catch a glimpse of you if they aren't sure how to proceed. In short, Chicago has no shortage of exciting yoga studio event spaces to choose from.
