Bender CHI // Sunset Skyline Yoga
Event Information
Description
Leave the noise below – and meet us on a rooftop oasis, for an electric yoga experience amidst fluorescent skies and city lights.
Each session is a journey from stillness and silence… to sweaty flow, grooving beats, and high-vibe connection. Both grounding and uplifting, it’s a unique way to let go and tune-in with your city... with the sky... with your mind + body... and with friends.
This June, BENDER returns for our 4th summer series in Chicago. All dates include:
- Flow through a 75min vinyasa YOGA class w/ a crew of Chicago's favorite teachers and DJs [video from last summer].
- Music and instruction is played through Sound Off wireless GLOWING HEADPHONES -- these let you hear the teacher's voice at the perfect level, while blocking out distractions, and fully immersing you in the moment.
- AFTER CLASS, stay to dance and connect with your fellow yoga and music lovers. Our DJs will keep you moving, while you soak in the rare vibes and view -- with complimentary refreshments provided.

Hosted on the rooftop at ENRGi Fitness

workout: Our fitness variety includes over 100 classes/week including circuit, strength, boxing, barre, rowing, yoga, recovery, small group and more. Our mission is to be Group Fitness Defined.
recover: We strongly believe that recovery is equally as important as working out. Therefore, unlimited RECOVERi sessions are included in all ENRGi memberships.

NormaTec technology will help you recover faster between workouts by reducing muscle soreness and improving circulation.
repeat: Our rule of thumb for optimal health & fitness is to recover as frequently as you workout. workout 3-5 times per week, recover 3-5 times per week, and repeat weekly!
