"I will be calmly active, actively calm. I am a prince of peace, sitting on the throne of poise, directing the kingdom of my activity." 
-Paramahansa Yogananda

When I heard that my yogi friend/teacher Nancy was going to be opening a studio in the Chicago area, I smiled. But then my heart jumped a bit: wait, this meant she wouldn't be around to teach in Evanston!

Although we miss you lots at BYE, Nancy, we are so, so proud of you and excited for your amazing opening of 105 Yoga studio in Oak Park. 

Nancy's approach to yoga is a lot like Paramahansa Yogananda's idea of being "actively calm." In her classes, you feel incredibly energized and yet your mind is peaceful and clear, as though you were practicing on the beach at sunrise. Her approach to running the studio is equally as balanced: she offers a wide variety of classes every day, is featuring a Grand Opening this weekend, and will continue to treat yogis throughout the month of December.
