I started with the beginners class a few summers ago due to some recommendations from my physical therapist and loved it. I then did their foundational series over and over again because the small class sizes really allow for growth, questions, tips, and a laid back environment to learn the proper techniques and form. I have now joined the regular open classes and just can't say enough good things about this studio. The instructors are awesome. The studio is very unique and different from the 'corporate ' yoga places and I highly recommend stopping in for a class. I'm hooked.

Nice space and lots of class times available. I went to a 7am class while visiting town and although I really liked the teacher personally, I had some issues with her sequence. Seems like more of a slower paced studio than others, I barely sweat at all during the hour I was there... but if that’s what your into - good in you! Teacher had some interesting ideas and made use of the wall in ways that I hadn’t ever seen (I am also a yoga teacher) - one position in particular seemed extremely poorly placed - she had us in downward dog right up on the wall with one leg extended up in the air against

Jim Bennitt is a fantastic yoga instructor and I highly recommend his classes. He always includes a blend of moves perfect for beginners and advanced. As a grappler himself he understands how to help athletes stretch and strengthen their bodies as well as recover through injuries. I have been several times with minor joint pain or stiffness and am always leaving more flexible , balanced and much less stiff or sore. I highly recommend for not just bjj wrestling or other athletes but anyone interested in trying yoga or looking to take their yoga to the next level. Jim has an astounding amount of

My home away from home. I've been practicing here since they opened almost ten years ago. I've taken every workshop and teacher training they have offered, from the very first teacher training to their advanced training. Who knew I would eventually teach here? What a shocker since I had no intention to ever teach yoga! But I enjoy every moment I spend at Tejas. Jim and James have created a community of wonderful teachers, great staff, and the best students ever. This is real authentic yoga: no music or weights and plenty of breathing, movement, and meditation.

Started going to Tejas a couple years ago. I love how every single class I go to, I come out feeling so centered and relaxed. The space is beautiful and there is something so special about this place, one must check it out. The teachers are kind, supportive, and respect all their students. This place has made me love yoga so much, I got my yoga teacher training here. Their training is phenomenal! They really teach you to success as a teacher so that you can help your students success. They also have great workshops! Highly highly recommend every class, workshop, and training they provide here😌

I just finished the introduction to yoga course at Tejas and found the class to be great! I have been on and off different yoga classes, with some classes having a more authentic style than others. I found Tejas to have this authentic style, where the instructor covers breathing techniques along with building strength and flexibility. The instructor is knowledgeable and explains the mechanics of the asana and how it benefits you. This was also among the more reasonably-priced yoga classes I could find in Chicago, charging $50 for 5 classes and they provide the mat for the intro course. Would recommend

Every class at Tejas places significant value in the final savasana and pranayama breathing exercises. At least 10 minutes of time is devoted to savasana and 10 minutes to pranayama breathing exercises and meditation/concentration. I find it so hard to meditate and perform breath work on my own - I'm grateful to the instructors here for guiding me during each class. You may not be used to this commitment to savasana and breathing if you are coming from a gym environment or a more athletic yoga practice (many yoga studios skip or make this part a DIY process), but I am grateful that this pose is
