What is Sat Nam?

In the ancient Sikh language of Gurmukhi, Sat means truth and Nam means name. Together, Sat Nam translates into something deeper: "I am truth" or "Truth is my essence." It's a welcome that opens the door to being who you truly are. To achieve peace, one must live honestly and heed the call of the soul. Sat Nam is a place to develop your spiritual strength and experience the joy of your true being.

Our Story

Sat Nam Yoga Chicago was founded by Karampal in 2010 with humble beginnings, a single room studio on the garden level of this Chicago Historical Building. It has since grown to occupy three levels with three serene studio spaces, two therapy rooms, 2 boutique spaces, a student lounge and a private garden courtyard for open air classes.

Sat Nam has been a home to thousands of truth seekers, all on their own path of discovery and development. Our friendly non judgmental space will meet you where you are in your practice and curiosity.
