About B3 Yoga & Wellness — Crest Hill, IL
The Sisters
Behind B3
B3 Yoga and Wellness Center is a family business — co-founded by Brittany and Chantelle, and rooted in ahimsa: do no harm.
OUR STORY
How B3 Started
We opened our studio at the end of 2020 — a strange time to start a business. But it was so needed. As we moved through the phases of reconnecting with others out of the pandemic, we knew that supportive wellness services were necessary at that time. With our respective backgrounds in cosmetology and counseling/art therapy — and both completing our yoga teaching certifications — we knew we could provide our community with holistic wellness services that truly make a difference.
As sisters, we are a family business. Our bond and our passion for ahimsa (the yogic principle of doing no harm) guides us in our pursuit of services rooted in respect, compassion, and human connection. We believe in people embracing their authentic selves. We don't believe in staying in a box or following blueprints that don't work. We incorporate creativity, nature, and alternative healing to create a space that allows mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical healing, growth, and understanding.
MEET YOUR CO-FOUNDERS
Brittany & Chantelle
Dr. Brittany Bishop
200hr CYT · LCPC · ATR-BC · ADHD-CCSP · PhD in Art Therapy
Brittany is the co-owner of B3. She holds a 200hr CYT, LCPC, ATR-BC, and a PhD in art therapy, and is an art and talk therapist operating out of B3. Brittany got her yoga training to offer another coping skill to her therapy clients. When the opportunity to have her own hybrid practice presented itself in the form of B3, Brittany knew this was a way she could make a difference in people's lives — that is the root of her life's mission.
Brittany leads our recovery practice of yin yoga, with sound bath and weighted blanket savasana. Students recount Brittany's classes as extremely relaxing, saying her voice has a calming effect. She is always mindful of her students' physical and mental limitations and encourages everyone to listen to their internal cues first. Expect to leave any session with Brittany more relaxed than when you arrived.
Chantelle (Yogi Chanti)
200hr CYT · Cosmetologist
Chantelle is the co-owner of B3 and holds her 200-hour cert for yoga teaching. She opened B3 to offer a welcoming space to people from all walks of life. The classes she leads are low-impact HIIT, beginner-intermediate vinyasa flow, children's yoga, and resistance band class.
In Chantelle's classes, students feel seen and heard. The results come — but never at the expense of the student's well-being. Students report being moved to tears in her yoga classes, often saying they feel she's speaking right to them. Chantelle strives to live and practice by yoga philosophies — and even her HIIT and Resistance Bands classes have some yoga "vibes" interjected, which beginners and those seeking gentle instruction especially appreciate.
