CorePower Yoga If you’d rather not be in downward dog while wearing a yoga bra and shorts that cover less than what you wear to the beach, there’s CorePower Yoga. At its numerous Chicago locations, CorePower offers an extensive selection of women’s sports clothing—yoga pants, tops, hoodies, warms-ups, dresses, skirts, and accessories—from several lines, such as lululemon, Beyond Yoga and tonic. Like most yoga boutiques, the clothing here can be pricey, but if you stop in between seasons, you’re likely to stumble across a sale. CorePower is also a fantastic studio for students at any level, and some locations offer specials to first-time guests. 555 West Roosevelt, (312)829-9642; 12 West Maple, (312)266-9642; 959 West Webster, (773)388-9642; 1704 North Milwaukee, (773)227-9642; 1539 East 53rd, (773)324-9642, corepoweryoga.com
