Our story
Two Chicago natives, one sunny studio, and more than 20 years of helping our neighbors feel at home in their bodies.
How Bloom began
A studio for all ages and stages
Bloom Yoga Studio was founded by Kerry Maiorca and is run together with her husband Zach, both Chicago area natives. From the start, Bloom has welcomed students of every age and stage, from kids to parents to be to complete beginners.
Over the years Bloom has grown into a neighborhood gathering place, with daily classes, special workshops, massage, and a small shop full of the things our students love. In 2024 our community celebrated the studio's 20th anniversary, and we are still growing.
What we believe
The heart of our teaching
Alignment matters
Our classes follow the hatha tradition with an emphasis on proper alignment, so you can build strength and flexibility steadily.
Everyone belongs
Every body, age and background is welcome. Teachers offer options in every pose so the practice fits you, not the other way around.
Care beyond the mat
From prenatal support to massage and community events, we care for the whole person through every season of life.
Our hope is simple: that caring for your health and happiness becomes a normal, joyful part of daily life.
The studio
A sunny space just off Lincoln Square
Our sunny studio is filled with natural light. It is a place to slow down, breathe deeply and leave the city noise at the door.
