Melt Pilates & Hot yoga - Algonquin, Illinois

Recently did a private yoga session with Agnes, my absolute fav, and it was so incredibly transformative. I pretty regularly go to Melt but have had a couple poses on my list of things to really work on. She spent the entire 75 minutes with me prepping my body to take on those poses and it yielding amazing results. She knows just how much to push and make you feel empowered and capable but is so trustly and knowledgeable at the same time. Her words are also so easy to connect with and give you the wisdom you need. If you yogis are looking for a truly transformative way to take your practice to the next level, all the Melt instructors are phenomenal and welcoming (I've brought 4 guests in the last year & they all loved it) but I can personally endorse a 1on1 with Agnes.

I am a professional athlete and have been doing yoga on and off for years. Mainly out of state but have now lived in Illinois the last 5-6 years and I am so happy to have came across Melt Pilates & Hot Yoga! My first class was with Agnes. Her energy and verbal cueing are just tips of the iceberg when talking about her wonderful class. Iv taken other classes and have seen other instructors at various locations but Agnes’s class sits on top amongst them all. You feel her love and passion for yoga simply by listening to her speak and guiding you through her class. In the hour or hour and 15 minutes you have with her, she will not only take your body on a challenging and unique journey but also the ability to inspire your yogi soul! After taking my first class with her, she is the only instructor I prefer to take classes with and when I am out of town and take a yoga class elsewhere, I leave immediately thinking “it wasn’t like Agnes’s class”. It is hard to put into words the feeling I have when taking one of her classes, she is able to push you safely to limits you didn’t think you could reach, poses you were maybe not able to accomplish before and allows you to connect to your body in a way you have not done before. Leaving her class makes you a different person in the best way possible and makes you eager for more!

I’ve been a member at Melt since Feb 2022 and I love to claim that I’ve been a regular ever since! I’ve tried many of their classes and my soul fell in love with steel mace flow coached by Austin! Kudos to Shannon for bringing him on as an instructor and offering such a unique & impactful experience! I made great friends in this class and have brought in great friends. Definitely a class to join in! Thank you Melt 🙌🏽✨

I have been to yoga all over the country, through traveling and different places I’ve lived…and Melt is BY FAR the best studio I’ve been to. I’m currently a CA resident home for the holidays but I knew I had to get back to my favorite studio!!!

The flows each teacher runs are challenging yet so intentional. I always feel like I expand my practice after just one session. The temp is just right — I get major sweat but am never overwhelmed. And the studio goes above and beyond with details like cool towels to finish and setting wonderful intentions for the session before we start. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it here. If I could package up the entire studio and all the teachers and bring them back with me to CA I would. Shannon has done something truly amazing with the studio and her team of instructors.

On top of all of this, the ladies who come to this class are friendly, and also beasts! So great to follow if you ever fall behind on a flow or are a bit rusty (me).

10000/5 stars.

I have been coming to melt for 3 years, and cannot get enough of this studio. The owner, Shannon is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and creates such a warm, welcoming environment for everyone who steps into the studio. There are new classes always being offered to keep things fresh and interesting. The hot yoga is incredible, especially with Agnes. If I could give melt 10 stars I would. This place changed my life, and if you have not been here, I would very very highly recommend giving it a shot! You will not be disappointed.

I've loved every hot yoga class I've taken at Melt. The instructors have all been outstanding at leading exceptionally paced, challenging practices.

Just finished a Saturday morning class with Agnes and it was one of the best classes I have ever attended. She structured the session that flowed so smoothly from one pose to the next. With her kind instructions, I was able to close my eyes most of the time and clearly understand her instructions. The pace of the class was spot on and I would describe it as “passive exhaustion”. Loved it!

I love it here. The owner Shannon is great. Very professional. So is Agnes, who is one of the yoga instructors. There are also other instructors who I haven't met yet. But I'm sure they're awesome as well. And they always make you feel welcome at Melt. In the past, I've always done things like weight lifting and running, but I've gotten out of shape over the years. I can't believe how much more limber and less stiff I feel after only a month or so of going to classes here.

I really am blown away by how pilates and yoga can kick your butt and get you into fantastic shape. I signed up for private pilates training as well as the group classes. I also signed up for the hot yoga which is also fantastic. I thoroughly enjoy it here and plan on staying.
