I was just looking at Aris' schedule before I returning to Woodstock for Christmas and realized I've never written a review! I love this yoga studio - the owner is kind and fun. The teachers are excellent. It's a really quality place and you can tell all the regulars love it too! I feel lucky I get to practice here when I come back to my hometown.

I have had a wonderful experience attending classes at Aris. The instructors that I met have been awesome in making sure that I am doing things correctly and at my own pace. Whether or not you are new to yoga or hot yoga, I would highly recommend classes at Aris.

I am so grateful to have access to such high quality 26+2 classes right here in Woodstock. This practice has truly healed my body and mind. I’m grateful for the instructors at Aris, who share the perfect blend of knowledge, encouragement, support, and comedic relief in their classes. And I’m always so happy to find classes full of all levels of students, from beginners to experts, all ages, all body types, in such a welcoming and warm, pun intended, atmosphere. I always leave feeling better than I did when I walked in.

Finding this studio was life changing for me.
I found new ways to take care of my body and also my mental health. The studio offers various multi leveled classes to fit each persons skill level. All of the yoga teachers are just amazing people with so much knowledge, passion, and dedication. They challenge you, encourage you, and guide you to become a better version of yourself.
The Aris Hot Yoga & Pilates is my happy place …..my sanctuary ….my community 🧘🏻‍♀️

I absolutely love this studio! The teachers are kind, knowledgeable, and create such a welcoming and grounding environment. Every class feels intentional and supportive — I always leave feeling more connected to myself. I am bigger bodied and I’ve never once felt out of place or unwelcome here, which means so much. The instructors offer great modifications and really encourage listening to your body. Highly recommend!

I was on the hunt for exactly THIS for years. After 3 years of consistently weight training, I was struggling with my body hitting a plateau. I absolutely love the way my body has transformed since joining. Every class pushes me in the best way possible; it’s challenging, but that’s exactly what helps me grow physically and mentally. The instructors are incredible and the energy in the studio is unmatched... so inviting, supportive, and empowering! You walk in feeling welcomed and leave feeling unstoppable.
If you’re looking for a place that challenges you while surrounding you with positivity and community, Aris is it!!

I can’t say enough good things about Aris Hot Yoga + Pilates! After having my baby girl, these classes have not only helped me get back to my pre-baby body but, more importantly, helped me feel like myself again, mentally and emotionally. The instructors always remind you to take time for you, and they’re right, an hour in that studio is pure magic in the middle of life’s chaos.

Natalie, the owner, is amazing, and every instructor somehow manages to be both your biggest cheerleader and your sweetest form of torture (of course in the best way). I always leave class feeling better than when I walked in <3

If you need a good sweat, a good vibe, and a good dose of “me time,” you’ve got to try a class!

The best thing I've ever done for myself both physically & mentally was walk through the front door. Yoga can be intimidating; The lingo, the poses, the fear of not knowing what to expect. As a dude, I was also concerned about being one of the only guys - I am, and no one cares. Natalie and her entire crew are welcoming, warm, fun and kind. Yoga changed my life. I started with Flow classes, and graduated up to 26+2 ( a delightful ass kicker) and I've done mostly all of the classes in between. Including Pilates .

Natalie, thank you for making me feel welcome. I appreciate you.

I was given the opportunity to try Aris Hot Yoga and Pilates for 21 days. I have had a phenomenal experience thus far! Natalie and Amman are the two instructors I’ve worked with the most, and not only are they wonderful people they are also amazing at what they do! They push you to become your best self. They have changed my entire mindset on yoga and Pilates in the most positive way! I have grown to love it so much! It’s a challenge in a whole different way than what I’m used to. I always come out feeling better than I did when I went in. I would highly recommend trying these classes! They have a variety for everyone! And if nothing else stay in the room and embrace the heat. It really helps your mind, body, and soul. I’ve become a huge fan!! Thank you all for your coaching, patience, and wonderfully personalities making an hour and 30 min class feel like 20min! <3 don’t think about it; just try it!!! You won’t be disappointed.

As I approach my one-year anniversary with Aris, I can hardly believe the incredible impact it has had on my life. Hot yoga turned out to be exactly what my body needed, especially after moving on from the high-impact days of running. I’ve fully embraced this new, deeply beneficial form of exercise — and even more so, the amazing community of people and staff. I’m so grateful to have found a place that supports both my physical health and my spirit.

I have been attending this studio for less than a week so far, and already love it so much! I love that they have a variety classes and at a variety of times as well. As a mom of 2 with kids in sports, it really helps to be flexible around their schedules. Last year I was on a medication called Accutane which caused severe tightness and joint pain specifically in my hips, their classes have been helping to really alleviate that pain.

I can't believe I haven't written a review sooner for Aris! I found this gem after moving to McHenry and looking for a hot yoga studio nearby. Even though Aris is 30+ minutes away, it’s so worth it! I had been practicing 26+2 for over a year before joining Aris in August, and I've been continuing that practice since.
Natalie, the owner, is an absolute sweetheart and has really pushed me to exceed my limits. She is so encouraging, and the whole studio feels like a welcoming and supportive community. All of the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and really focus on technique, which has helped me improve in ways I didn’t think were possible.
I've tried a few different classes—Hot Barre Flow, Hot Pilates, Yogalates, Yin, and of course 26+2—and I can't get enough! Every time I leave, I feel better than when I came in, just like Natalie always says.

Whether you're starting your yoga journey or continuing it, I highly recommend Aris! I'm such a huge advocate for this studio, and I'm so thankful I found my yoga home here!!!

I’ve been dealing with back and neck pain for a while and I have been going to physical therapy but the pain is still there. I wanted to try Yoga to see if the deep stretching would help so I attended a hot yoga class at Aris and I felt so much better after. The instructor was great. Very clean and welcoming place. I immediately loved it and signed up for their new student package! Looking forward to try all of their classes!

I began classes at Aris Hot Yoga + Pilates this past February. I needed to do something for me! I've signed up for several different classes and found ones I enjoy. I've done yoga in the past, but the "heat" makes a world of difference. I have osteopenia (low bone density) and needed a way to control this condition. I've had dexis scans done every few years and since I've practiced hot yoga, my scans are now stable.
The instructors, along with Natalie (the owner) are personable and caring. As an extra bonus, Natalie offers perks on a weekly basis, whether it's discounts on classes or bingo to win a prize! Give Aris Hot Yoga + Pilates a try. I think you'll love it!

The studio is very clean & I LOVE how hot it gets during the hot classes. The class schedule is very friendly with work schedules which is something super important to me as I work full time.

I'm new to yoga, and so glad I found ARIS. This is an absolutely wonderful addition to Woodstock and greater McHenry County. I've taken the Yin class, which is really great for those like me -- more beginner level. I was able to relax and really get my body and mind centered. I really enjoyed the class. Plus, it was nice and warm -- it wasn't a "hot yoga" class, but the room was very comfortably toasty!
