My husband and I stopped here on a recent visit to Bloomington and wow, what a beautifully serene…read moreplace! You can only hear the leaves of the trees moving in the wind here. It's so very peaceful. We visited the gift shop where we were tended to by a zealously attentive gentleman, before we set off to wander a bit. There's much to see here - monuments and Buddhas and the prayer wheels and a whole lot of nature. I'll admit that even though we were told we could visit the monks on the temple, we felt too shy to visit, not wanting to disturb the monks, and because we hadn't studied up on protocols before pur visit. But even without meeting them, wandering the grounds is such a treat. Tip: make sure to bring some change or other offerings. Throughout the property you'll find Buddha statues where you may make an offering. I had limited change, so once I ran out, at the last Buddha I left a small citrine I happened to have in my pocket. I love this place and already feel it calling me back. It's so quiet and beautiful and peaceful. Highly recommend, very pleasant!

What a memorable and peaceful experience…read more We strolled onto the Cultural Center grounds (which are 40+ acres) not fully knowing what to expect. Our curious ways led us down a winding lane surrounded by Buddhas, prayer flags and statues. I can only imagine how much more mysterious and beautiful this place once the ground and trees are green with life. From the intricate sand art to the complete solitude, we loved every minute of our visit. The whole experience was made extra-special when we stumbled upon a Buddhist service with 8-10 monks who were visiting from India (seriously, you guys, this is a very important place in the Buddhist world tucked away in southern Indiana). We quietly seated ourselves at the back of the room and were graciously greeted by the leader at the end of the service. He explained the process, shared tangerine and plums and welcomed us with open arms. I really appreciated that their sanctuary had religious books from several other groups like Muslims, Christians and Jews as a sign of their openness and love for all.

In Bloomington for the weekend and decided to check out this studio. Located in a strip, little…read moredifficult to find in the dark morning time. Walked into a very inviting space. The individual at the front desk was very nice and helpful with getting us set up. Many items (clothing, jewelry, mats, etc) were for sale in the lobby. Plenty of cubby space for everyone to place their belongings and there were two changing areas. There were also male and female restrooms, which were very clean. We entered a studio that had a wipe off board advising what props we would need. We set up and began our mediation before class. There were several women in the room that were having full blown conversations. This was very distracting and it continued up until class started. The instructor was in and out of the room, reminding individuals what they needed. I found the instructor Chris, to be ok. His flow was simple and did not require any difficult positions or flow. This class would be great for beginners. I would definitely try other classes at this studio.

The owner of the studio, Crystal, is a genuinely kind person. I am most devoted to Kundalini Yoga with Mervyn Alphonse. This class is every Wednesday and 5:30 p.m. and Sundays at noon. Mervyn also does a fantastically amazing "Gong Bath" the first Sunday of each month with Philip Clampitt (two gongs in a small room). Philip has a Kundalini-based meditation class on Sundays at 10 a.m., and he does a very powerful crystal bowl workshop the second Sunday of each month (13 singing bowls!). Two other regulars for me are Ruth Cohen at noon on Tuesday and/or Thursday and Mallory Rose on 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Ruth and Mallory are amazing--they both bring a lot to each class beyond excellent Yoga instruction. Other instructors whose classes I enjoy when I can fit them into my schedule are Sarah, Crystal, Rick, Marci, and Ashlan. I will always be grateful for my practice with the beautiful instructor Jacqueline--Jacqueline is one of those rare people that glows with love, and the way her students feel about her is representative of what a good community this is.

Recently I came across an advertisement for float therapy at Serenus here in Bloomington. I'm a…read morevery skeptical person and let the manager and owner know. They both encouraged me to do some research and to try it before I made my final judgement. I did some follow up research and it turns out that the origins of float therapy have been around for about 40-50 years. I've had a lot of stress so far this year so I decided to just give it a try. There is actual scientific research that has been done on this therapy. I will let you do your own research in that area so you can make up your mind about the potential benefits of this therapy. The following is my account of my experience. I arrived and was warmly greeted by the manager(Derrick) and the owner(Joseph). They quickly got me checked in and then the manager gave me a quick tour of the facility. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and definitely puts off a relaxing vibe. Once my tour was over, he showed me to the room where I would be floating and gave me what I considered to be a very thorough orientation on what to do, how to do it, how everything worked, and even included a warning on how to wipe my hair at the end of the session and being careful on getting out(you'll be a little slippery afterwards-more on that later). Like I said, a very thorough orientation. After my orientation, he started the music, flipped the sign on the door to indicate that the room was occupied and left me to it. I locked the door to the very private room, reviewed my surroundings and then started on the routine that he had laid out for me. When I first set up my appointment I was worried that 60 minutes in this pod, alone with my thoughts, would be boring and I'd wind up ending early. I was definitely wrong. I wondered a couple of times during the session how long I had been in there. But before I knew it the light in the pod had kicked on and the music started back up indicating that my session was up. I remembered previous instructions to wipe my hair back after I was done to ensure I didn't get any salt in my eyes, carefully exited, and showered. Be careful when you exit. The salt makes you extremely slippery. The shower is right next to the pod though so you can quickly remedy this. The salt washes off easily with the bodywash and shampoos so no worries there. After my shower, I checked the clock on my phone because I was just sure that I hadn't been in that pod for a whole 60 minutes. But sure enough, I had. Wow. Just wow. Overall, my experience was very positive, from interacting with the owner via facebook beforehand, to checking in, the float, and relaxing after. The only thing that wasn't recommended to me that I honestly should have thought of myself was to bring a comb for afterwards. I left feeling relaxed but energized. I definitely recommend you do some research about floating and then try it out for yourself. The price tag can be a little bit of a sticker shock but there are ways to reduce your cost if you decide to do it regularly and I think they have a special for 1st time floaters. I can be a bit of tightwad but i enjoyed the experience enough to tell you that I will definitely be back, next time with a comb and a voice recorder. Advice: don't set to many expectations before your 1st float, just enjoy it for whatever it turns out to be for you. Thanks again to the owner and the manager for making this a great experience and encouraging me to give it a shot. I wrote a much more detailed review about my whole experience but it was apparently too long for yelp. If you'd like to read my full review, visit their page on facebook.
