The Lululemon- sponsored evening kicked off with a centering yoga session by illumine’s own yogini-in-charge, Lourdes Paredes.

Sky High Yoga at 360 Chicago
In celebration of Earth Month, Unite Yoga and Aveda Experience Center presented Sky High Yoga at 360 Chicago (formerly known as the John Hancock Center Observatory Deck) April 26. More than 60 early risers drank in the breathtaking city views and the sunrise over Lake Michigan during the Vinyasa class, co-taught by Angie Starz and Rachel Vurpillat. All proceeds from the event benefited the Alliance for the Great Lakes. Attendees came away with a goody bag from Athleta on Southport filled with the Spring Issue of illumine, Aveda product samples and class passes from studios such as Zen Garage Yoga, Village Yoga Chicago and Moksha Center. Sky High Yoga would also like to thank its additional sponsors, Jamba Juice and Kind Snacks.
