"It’s a place to just be."

There’s not one worry about my appearance, my age, my ability, or whether my yoga pants are trendy. Yoga Among Friends creates an all-welcoming environment by focusing on what is possible for each individual while fostering an enjoyable collective experience. Downers Grove is lucky to have YAF.

— Melissa S., student for 12+ years

"They made me feel at home at once."

Yoga Among Friends is a caring and compassionate community — an oasis in the midst of an often disconnected world. The teachers combine a professional and personal way of interacting with students. They encourage without pushing and are helpful in ways that are hard to express.

— Nancy Hill, LCSW
