Reviews for Private Yoga and Wellness Experience in Chicago's South Loop

Half Moon Yoga was such an amazing place. They truly go above and beyond to make every student feel comfortable and welcome. We took full advantage of the monthly pass while we were in Chicago, and the experience was incredible from start to finish. The staff was always so communicative, kind, and helpful. We absolutely loved it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive yoga community.

I have been attending classes here at least once a week for over a year. As a newbie to yoga, I started with a yoga101 workshop (which isn’t a regular class but I love them!), but I would have felt welcome in any class. I started with the reduced price unlimited membership and moved to the mini membership. Every teacher has good instruction and a beginner could really try any class. My favorite is Glow with Lauren or Nikki - can be challenging but still a focus on breath to movement and a good flow. Zen and the Zen/Exhale/Sound Saturday class is such a treat when I am extra stressed. I’ve also enjoyed Half Moon and Reset classes. Highly recommend this place! So cozy and Val, the owner, is the sweetest. Yoga has changed my life physically and mentally - the mental health aspect is huge, and most classes make sure to give time for a proper meditation at the beginning and savasana at the end. Best way to start my weekend!

I had the pleasure of working and being a student at Half Moon, and the community Val has built is incredible. Students are celebrated for their milestones within the studio and Val does not miss a chance to celebrate staff as well. It is gem within the south loop neighborhood where people are brought together to move and interact within the coziest atmosphere. The variety of class formats allows yoga to be accessible for everyone. My favorites have to be Half Moon, Glow and Zen, but each class is so unique depending on who's teaching. The teachers are amazing at listening to student's needs and ensuring their students are equally comfortable and challenged, and will answer any questions that come up. If you have the chance, I highly recommend this studio because there is a deep sense of unity built into the foundation of the business, and thats what yoga's all about :)

I took Tsha’s Reset with a guided meditation and her GLOW class, and both were grounding and uplifting experiences. Her teaching feels incredibly intentional - from the way she sequences movement to the way she connects with students throughout class. I especially appreciated the loving kindness meditation she guided, which brought such a calming and meaningful energy to the room. Her GLOW flow was creative, thoughtfully paced, and easy to follow while still feeling dynamic and challenging. I loved how naturally she wove Sanskrit and the class theme throughout the practice, creating an experience that felt cohesive and purposeful from beginning to end. She also gave thoughtful assists and was very aware of the room, making it easy for students to follow along and feel supported. The studio space itself is beautiful, welcoming, and community-oriented. You can tell a lot of care has gone into creating an environment that feels both energizing and safe. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and intentional, and Tsha contributes so much to that feeling by taking time to genuinely connect with students before class begins. I highly recommend checking out this beautiful studio and taking one of Tsha’s classes. You can truly feel the care, thoughtfulness, and community she brings into the space.

I recently was in Chicago for a quick visit and decided to check out Half Moon Yoga for a class. Their location is ideal - easy to access via multiple public transit lines - with the building itself on a main corridor. Upon first entering the studio, I felt welcomed, safe, and at ease. On a snowy afternoon after a long drive, the Zen yoga class was the ideal ending to my day. The studio space was impeccably clean, lit with candles, and completely set up so that the only thing I had to bring was myself. Emma led the class with kindness and a gentle encouragement to move through the class in whichever way felt best. It was the perfect mix of deep stretches, relaxation, and centering myself with my own breath and that of the collective group. Truly, a beautiful experience overall and one that I will treasure for a long time. Whether you live in Chicago or are just passing through, I highly recommend checking out Half Moon Yoga and the beautiful community they have cultivated.

After going to Half Moon for almost a year, I can say that they offer a wide variety of classes that are adjustable for your individual needs or yoga experience level. I have introduced at least five people to Half Moon, and they all agree on this and enjoy Half Moon. Even if you only take one of the class formats, you will never be bored. The most impactful aspect of the studio is how you can clearly feel the intention of welcoming and compassion from teachers, students, staff, and the space itself. A few things that contribute to this are the complementary tea and hot chocolate, natural space for conversation before and after class, optional silent mediation before class, and dim cozy design of the studio. I feel immediately comforted and centered coming in. I always leave feeling lighter and more aligned, physically and mentally.

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!
