Hey curvy active ladies in Chicago! Have you heard of Ganesha Yoga studio? It’s an amazing yoga space on Lincoln and Belmont-ish. Not only does it have size-inclusive classes ranging from all levels of yoga to Zumba to BollyGroove Cardio…but it has one of the greatest selections of yoga and active wear in sizes XS – 4X that I’ve ever seen!

Ganesha Yoga and Adventures in Fitness is the brainchild of co-owners Mindy Hanzlik and Jane Musgrave. They wanted to create a welcoming and supportive studio for men and women seeking to improve their lives through movement regardless of weight, ability, or size. Read more about their vision here.

They know that active bodies come in all sizes, and that everyone deserves to feel comfortable in their workout space. So, one of the coolest classes that Ganesha offers is HeavyWeight Yoga® which is specifically designed with modified poses, slower pacing, and lots of encouragement to help inflexible, overweight or obese students realize all the benefits of yoga in a safe and non-intimidating environment. Another unique offering is Stiff Guy Yoga, which is for guys who are not necessarily “yoga guys,” but can benefit from the health benefits and strengthening that yoga can bring. Check out their full class schedule.

And…I mentioned the extended selection of yoga clothes and workout wear, right???
