You must be current with your Recertification payments in order to attend.
On the first day of Recertification, arrive by 7:15AM.
Every following day, arrive at the Institute by 8:30AM, as Recertification begins promptly at 9AM and doors will lock at that time.
Important: In order to become Recertified and receive your certificate, you must attend every day of Recertification and you must stay until 3:00pm on the last day. Please plan accordingly. Leaving before 3:00pm on the last day will not allow you to Recertify.

Because this is located in Chicago, parking is scarce. The easiest thing to do would be to hire an Uber/Lyft/Taxi driver. If you decide to drive, you can use Spot Hero once you get to the area to find parking areas. You can also take the train (Blue Line exit at Division St – walk 4 blocks west to center).
To find lodging, please search the area using zip code 60622. You can search for hotels, or use AirBnB or VRBO.
If you are looking for a roommate, please find one in the HBL Facebook Group located here.

Wear comfortable, casual attire. Dress so you can go from classroom lecture to practicing the technique to retreat all in one day. Be prepared to go from chilly to warm. Bring 2-3 sets of yoga/workout type clothes for your retreat days. You will have the option to do yoga on several of the days as well.


We will break for meals each day. You are responsible for your own meals. Also, when you book your hotel room, you can request to have a refrigerator in your room and get food from a local grocery store.
