Tinley Park’s newest business opened just in time to help the health-conscious start their New Year’s resolutions.
Pure Life Yoga & Wellness Center opened its doors at 17605 Oak Park Ave. on Dec. 23 to people interested in integrating yoga and other wellness treatments into their daily routines.
The new studio is starting out with 16 classes a week, but owner Melanie Rodriguez plans to double that number to 30 by next month.
“I want it to be a fully running yoga studio, I want it to be a community,” she said.
The seven instructors on staff teach a variety of traditional yoga styles while the wellness center offers other treatment programs including Ayurveda and Panchakarma, as well as Reiki Therapy and Infrared Sauna Therapy. Rodriguez said she hopes to develop lifestyle packages for people who are interested in combining the yoga and wellness center services toward a specific goal such as weight loss.
“Some people are looking for kind of an alternative; a different way to feel better and boost their energy and detox their bodies,” she said.
No matter what classes or treatments people might be interested in, Rodriguez said the studio’s goal is mainly to help people relax.
Rodriguez said the people are responding positively to the new studio and to the opportunity to build a community around it.
“I just feel this sense of the possibility of a yoga community in Tinley Park,” she said.
She saw a flicker of the community she hopes to build after a morning class Monday when a handful of students exited the studio and stood around to drink tea and chat with one another after class.
