In a city full of possibility, the options a girl—or boy—has to choose from when deciding to roll out of bed in the early hours of the morning and skip across town for a spot between strangers on a yoga mat are never slim.

But have you ever done it in the dark?

Beyond its recent one-offs, such as a donation-only class held in January at the Gold Coast’s Exhale Spa (to benefit American Red Cross relief work in Haiti), a style known as candlelight yoga is flickering throughout the city as yogis and yoginis find relaxation in dimly lit classes at both the Nature Yoga Sanctuary in Ukrainian Village and at all three Moksha Yoga locations; in River West, Lake View, and Logan Square.
