"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

"One of my favorite places to be… it is truly my home away from home."

Everyone is supportive, kind, and compassionate. I’ve made many friendships here, and all of the teachers are unique in their style. The classes are reasonably priced, and there are many group lessons to choose from. I love being here.

— Barbara LoCicero
