Western suburbs, since 2015
Ahimsa Berwyn
Our second studio, opened in 2015 on Oak Park Avenue. Small, warm, and the one students most often describe as feeling like a secret.
Getting here
A block from the Metra station on Oak Park Ave.
We are in the Depot District, one block north of MacNeal Hospital and the Metra station, on the west side of the street between 3100 and 3200 S. Oak Park Ave.
Plenty of parking on Oak Park Ave. with pay boxes at $1.25 an hour.
There is also a large lot half a block south of the studio on Oak Park Ave. at 25 cents an hour.
What to bring
A water bottle and a mat if you have one.
Mat rentals are $2. Props are provided.
Before class
Arrive 15 minutes early so you can check in and settle.
Book online in advance. We are cashless.
The space
Ground level, no stairs to get in.
Cubbies for your things. No changing rooms, showers or lockers, so come dressed to practice.
Accessible bathroom with grab bars.
When we are open
The studio opens 15 minutes before each class and closes 15 minutes after.
We are closed between classes, so check the schedule before stopping by.
What to expect at Berwyn
Berwyn is our smallest room, and deliberately so. It is cozy in the way a good living room is cozy. A little oasis a few steps off the street, where you tend to recognise the people on the mats around you after a couple of weeks.
If you have been put off by big, echoing studios before, this is the one to try first.
Your membership also works at Oak Park, Elmhurst, Evanston and Chicago, and on live Zoom classes. See every location's schedule.
New to Ahimsa? Take two weeks.
Two weeks of unlimited classes for $65, good here and at all five studios, plus live Zoom. Long enough to try a few teachers and work out what fits your week. Mats and props provided, and no experience needed.
