Reviews for Half Moon Wellness Experience: Yoga, Pilates, Breathwork, Sound Bath & More

I spent a month in Chicago for personal healing and connection and was seeking a studio to support that journey. Half Moon Yoga became a very meaningful part of my stay — it truly felt like a sanctuary. Val, the owner, is incredibly personable and has created a safe, inclusive, and healing space to practice. Thank you for putting your energy in to this space. It is appreciated. Every class felt intentional, supported by teachers who clearly enjoy what they do and offer genuine guidance and care. I did the new‑student special for $69, which included two guest passes, and I was able to bring my brother in for a session. I took classes from Tsha, Sarah, Isha, Amit, and Taylor, and resonated with each of them in different ways. Every teacher offered something unique, and I walked away with new insights and nuggets that helped deepen my practice. Playlists were also fire. Thank you to the entire team for cultivating such a special community. I’ll continue to recommend this studio and will definitely be back the next time I’m in the city.

Wow, wow, wow!!! I’ve traveled a lot and visited Yoga studios all over, Half Moon is truly special. Each and every teacher here is a master of his and her craft. They’ve built a beautiful community where I felt welcome and nurtured. I practiced every day during my 10 day visit in Chicago and plan on coming back. The variety of classes is perfect to tone, flex and / or deeply relax. Thank you for your amazing classes, teachers, space and community 🙏🏻💓

I had an incredible birthday celebration yoga class at Half Moon this past Sunday! The space immediately puts you at ease with its serene atmosphere. Val, the instructor, created such a welcoming and nurturing environment. The class was perfectly paced - challenging enough to feel engaged but still deeply relaxing. I left feeling both rejuvenated and peaceful. What really stood out was the attention to detail in making the experience soothing from start to finish. The studio's ambiance, the thoughtful instruction, and the overall energy made it special. Perfect for both beginners and experienced yogis alike. This was exactly what I needed - a chance to unwind, recharge, and celebrate in a meaningful way. Already looking forward to coming back here!

A delicate, powerful and grounding space. Several mats, adjustment indicators and blocks all set up so there is no fuss and no excuse not to make it to the mat. I took 3 classes here while on a trip - I love the practice and have been in my own practice for several years and was surprised and oh so delighted by my experiences. Wild Thing was a playful, powerful and engaging experience. Amit is a spectacular instructor who was all about creative expression. Many shapes and movements at a fast pace all to breath. I am still enthusiastic in my body just recollecting that practice. Half moon was a nice flow I enjoyed it to my core- perfect American “Hatt”/“hatha” balanced practice. Felt delicious in my joints and she offered plenty of opportunities to take variations. Hot Glow was fiery! Playful and very well sequenced. I loved having a black full bodied woman as my instructor. Felt like home for me. The owner is so friendly and I really wish this studio and its community well! Highly recommend and will be visiting again!

Yoga session at Half Moon Yoga was such a great experience! Ideal for everyone, and perfectly tailored to what we needed. Val and her team organized the event really well, and even with such a large group the class was perfection. Loved how flexible the instructor Kayla was to make sure the group felt comfortable with the session. Definitely recommend!

I had the most amazing experience at Half Moon Yoga! They helped organize a surprise private group session for my friends and family, and it was absolutely perfect. The instructor tailored the class to all of our levels, making it both relaxing and challenging in the best way. The studio atmosphere was serene, and every detail felt thoughtful and intentional. This was more than just a yoga session; it was a memorable bonding experience for all of us. Highly recommend for both group events and regular classes!

I’ve had the privilege of practicing yoga in studios all over the world, but nothing has touched me quite like this place. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a warmth and energy that’s hard to describe—like the whole space has its own soul. Val, the owner, radiates kindness and makes you feel like you’ve found a second home. The decor is serene and thoughtful, just a peaceful vibe that flows through every corner of the studio. I left feeling not just rejuvenated, but deeply moved and connected to myself in a way I haven’t felt in a long time. I truly wish I lived in Chicago so I could experience this magic every day. I highly recommend trying a class! I happened to be staying close by and stumbled upon it while looking for a small escape on a business trip, but boy do I wish I lived here now. This is a place where anyone can find their peace and inner stillness.

Half Moon Yoga was absolutely incredible! I recently organized a private yoga class here to celebrate a birthday, and from start to finish, Val and her team went above and beyond to make everything perfect for our group. The experience was so welcoming and personalized for us. The studio itself is beautiful, and the class was both fun and relaxing – a perfect blend for our day. If you’re thinking about trying out a new studio or want to plan a private session, I highly recommend Half Moon Yoga. Val and her staff will take great care of you!
