Construction is well under way at YBD’s new Western Springs location 4700 Gilbert Ave. Suite 16. We stopped by there this week and couldn’t believe how fast the contractors got the dry wall and paint up! Everything is on track and our second location is set to open October 15th! Feel free to take a drive by and take a look! All memberships, class packs and free weeks are transferable across both locations!
Yoga By Degrees is excited to celebrate 
Jenni Antonicic, RYT as Teacher of the Month! Jenni came to Yoga through asana practice at her fitness center, and got hooked on the transformative powers of this multi-faceted discipline that continues to enrich her life. She completed her teacher training with Vinyasa master Rolf Gates in 2009 and has been looking forward to every teaching opportunity since. Jenni celebrates how Yoga teaches us how to cultivate and then wisely and skillfully apply our energy, whether towards improving our downward dog, or scattering joy to all beings. Her asana practice emphasizes anchoring to the breath (and our sense of humor!), building strength and stability as a foundation for flexibility and expression, and the self-illumination attained through brave and honest reflection. The wise words of Rolf Gates, to do “a little yoga a lot”, instead of a lot of yoga every now and then, catapulted her personal practice and has become the foundation of her advice for all students. Breathe, Focus, Intention, Expression is her mantra.
