The Yoga Projekt is a small group of studios in Chicago where Pilates and yoga sit side by side. Reformer work, core and pelvic floor classes and hot yoga form the core of the timetable, and there is a steady line of vinyasa, restorative and strength sessions alongside them. Many classes are held in a balcony level studio, with others in a courtyard level studio, so the space you practice in depends on the class you choose.

What the studio teaches
Pilates is the backbone of the schedule here. Core and pelvic floor classes and reformer sessions appear often, from Foundational Reformer through to Advanced Reformer, so you can follow a clear path as you progress. Hot yoga and hot Pilates classes also run regularly, and there are warm Body Barre sessions for those who want a more sculpting practice.
Beyond Pilates, the studio offers vinyasa, Ashtanga, yin and restorative yoga, along with kettlebell and Core Cardio sessions for a more energetic workout. Longevity classes run 75 minutes and suit a slower, longer practice.
How the week runs
The studio's timetable is weighted toward the start of the day. Early classes begin as soon as 5:45am, and the busiest starts cluster around 9am and 10:30am. Evenings bring a second wave, with 5:30pm as a common start time and the last class beginning at 7pm.
Most classes run 60 minutes, which makes it easy to fit a session into a morning or a lunch break. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday see the most classes, and weekends make up about a fifth of the week.
