Jesus Villanueva and Gerard Sanchez
Jesus Villanueva and Gerard Sanchez are the founders and owners of Yoggic Yoga Center at
3110 N Sheffield Avenue, in
Lakeview.
They moved to Chicago last summer from Houston, to make their dream of owning their own business come true. Their passion for yoga, and years of personal practice led them to open a yoga studio.
They both spent many years in Corporate America, until they decided to do "their own thing," and they couldn't be happier, and they haven't looked back!
Gerard is an engineer by trade and loves solving problems! In his spare time he loves gardening, working with wood, practicing yoga and running.
Jesus loves to travel, foreign languages, and practicing yoga - he recently started a daily Ashtanga practice. Jesus is also a runner, having completed 6 marathons!
Come meet these guys at the studio! Stop by for a class, or just to say hi. They'd love to meet you!
Yoggic Yoga Center is a space where everyone is welcome. A place where yoga is made accessible, and not scary. A place where people experience breakthroughs!
Yoggic offers heated and non-heated classes, along with Restorative and Yin yoga. There is something for everyone at this beautiful studio!
If you are interested in being featured in a future Member Spotlight, please email [email protected].

The Wheelhouse Hotel, Union Full Board, & Tinker to Evers Grand Opening

| We had a blast at the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting for the new Wheelhouse Hotel in Wrigleyville. Union Full Board and Tinker to Evers joined us as well - they are located directly in the hotel! There was plenty of delicious Detroit style pizza, tasty craft cocktails, and the best atmosphere and decor. Keep Wheelhouse in mind for future hotel needs! |
