A New Chapter
One more month on 16th Street. Then we go pop-up.
Daily classes at 949 W 16th St run through September 25, the night of our gala. Come move with us while this room is still ours.
After that, LSP goes pop-up: classes and programming around the neighborhood while we build our new home in Pilsen, opening early 2027.
The Latina Sweat Project was never these walls. It has always been the people.
Special classes and community programming continue after September 25.

“Más allá del estudio”
The Chicago Reader spends graduation night at our Pilsen studio as 85 new yoga teachers from the 2025 and 2026 cohorts are celebrated: full scholarships, monarch butterflies, candlelight, and a community that, in Margarita's words, was never these walls and never an address.
