Our Story

our_story_3-wide

 

Yoga Trek began in the late 1990's in the home of founders Ben and JoAn Taylor, two vibrant young teachers dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga. They opened yoga Trek Center in its current Oak Park location in 2004. In 2007, opportunity called them to New York.

Because of the powerful effect of yoga on their lives and the strong community that existed, students Kate Wester and Catherine Cappel decided to keep Yoga Trek going.  Since June of 2007, Yoga Trek has expanded to a full  7-day schedule with a wide variety of yoga classes and workshops.

It is our intention to create a sanctuary where students of all levels can explore and develop their physical and spiritual selves through the practice of yoga and related activities. We are committed to offering the highest quality yoga instruction. All of our teachers are dedicated to the study and practice of yoga. We value the whole person and the community that develops when people come together to discover their true potential.

What Students Say

"After 10 years of regular yoga practice, my favorite teacher moved out of town and my favorite class was cancelled due to lack of interest. In retrospect, it was one of the best things that ever happened, causing me to try new studios and new instructors. And that's how I discovered Yoga Trek, an intimate, welcoming studio with great instructors and a friendly clientele. Not only are their classes interesting, challenging and calming; their workshops are intense and very well orchestrated. Together, they have enabled me to advance my practice far beyond what I expected. I highly recommend Yoga Trek to anyone seeking to empower their inner Yoga self."
