Surya Chandra is a beautiful yoga studio located in Rockford on the SE side, not far from the corner of E.State and Mulford. It is next to 8 acres of wooded land.
The instructor Julie is friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent. Each week is a new lesson, where she introduces new and varied poses that are challenging to the students, but gentle as well. Students are only urged to take the poses as far as they feel comfortable doing so. Julie incorporates a short meditation and shavasana into her classes.
Surya Chandra yoga studio is a great opportunity to get into shape and meditate.
