i'm looking for prenatal yoga classes on the north or northwest side of chicago or nearby suburbs. any suggestions would be great! thanks for your time.
You might also be interested in prenatal Pilates - Frog Temple Studio in Buckdown does 2 prenatal classes/week (Tues/Thurs at 7:15). I really enjoyed these until I got to about 37 weeks, at which point I felt too big and slow to do them anymore!
Hi L. -
I've been taking yoga classes at Bloom Yoga Studio (4663 N. Rockwell, http://www.bloomyogastudio.com/) since I found out I was pregnant about 6 months ago. They have a very flexible schedule (weekdays and weekends at convenient times), the location is good (NWside, no parking issues, close to public transportation), the classes are 90 minutes, and unlike some other classes I've taken, I really feel as though I'm getting quite a workout, albeit gentle. There are 2 pre-natal instructors at Bloom. I've only been to Dee's classes due to my schedule, but she is fantastic and I would highly recommend her.
Bloom Yoga Studio in Lincoln Square.
Sweet Pea Studios near Addison and Ravenswood is great.

I took prenatal yoga at Bloom Yoga Studio and plan to take baby and me yoga in a few weeks when my daughter is (hopefully) over her colick. They are great and in a neat location (rockwell brown line, though it's now closed). Here is their web site: http://www.bloomyogastudio.com/. I have also heard that Sweet Peas Studio is good, but the location lacks a bit if you need to drive there (Wrigleyville).

Hi L. -
I took my prenatal classes with Yogaview, which is in Lincoln Park. My instructor also taught at Bloom Studio, which is further north. You can check out her class schedule at Yogawithdee.com I would highly recommend any of her classes, and just prenatal yoga in general. It really prepares your body for childbirth and helps with all the aches and pains that come with carrying your little one.
Good Luck. If you see Dee, tell her S. said Hello!
