Students are raving about Ahimsa’s newest studio, Ahimsa Power Yoga. Located in Oak Park two doors down from Ahimsa’s flagship location started in 2011, Ahimsa Power Yoga offers a big shift from the more traditional yoga studio vibe Ahimsa Oak Park, Berwyn, La Grange, and Elmhurst are known to provide. Ahimsa Power Yoga has a boutique, yet simple vibe - a huge yoga room, a substantial lobby packed with amazing clothing, candles, crystals, and goodies, three private changing rooms, and two bathrooms. Our signature flow class, Ahimsa Power Flow, teaches 3 different flows (in addition to an opening, gentle warm-up, long holds, and savasana), and gives students time to practice each flow on their own after going through them with groups 2-3 times.

This class is great for the beginner or seasoned practitioner who wants to add his or her own modification or twist. The class is designed to give students the freedom to listen to their bodies and go at their own pace. One of the key elements of Ahimsa Power Yoga includes practicing in a “candlelit” aka dim, room with no mirrors.

Ahimsa Chisel classes combine our Power Flow class with a few sequences using light hand weights and bodyweight movements. Ahimsa means non-violence or non-harming, and just like in yoga philosophy, it’s number one at our studios. The best part about Ahimsa Power Yoga classes is each class ends with one minute of seated meditation so your mind might be calm and ready to ease into the rest of your day or night.
