Meet your hosts

Ahimsa Yoga Studio’s journey is long and complex, but it began with a story about how Kelly Merydith worked at a financial trading company in Chicago and discovered that it was causing a lot of stress and anxiety.

Kelly and her father, Chuck Merydith, worked tirelessly to open Ahimsa Oak Park in May of 2011. Shortly after, Chuck was pulled to his newfound purpose - to teach yoga and share the practice that helped him so much. 9 years later, multiple yoga trainings, hundreds of yoga classes, and dozens of sound baths later, he recently moved down South.

Kelly and her business partner, Masin Ouksel, have opened many studios in the Chicagoland area and currently operate four: Oak Park, Berwyn, Elmhurst and Evanston.

Chuck & Kelly look forward to sharing this amazing retreat with you this fall!
