Chicago is where yoga was first introduced to the U.S. — by young Swami Vivekananda at the Parliament on World Religions in 1893. More than a century after its first Om, Chicago has plenty of places to get your asana on! That's precisely why every new age yoga enthusiast is bookmarking Yoganonymous.org. This yoga-centric site is the online go-to resource for the modern day yoga practitioner in Chicago- and we’re not just talking about lavender oil and granola here. The site gives info and updates about your favorite teachers, studios, workshops, retreats, and yoga events. Wellness articles, practice tips, travel ideas, and free downloadable music playlists. Concert previews, hip new clothing on their webstore, free giveaways, and tons more. [Racked Wire]
