So, if you're…read moresensitive to smells like incense, you might want to check if it'll be going during your yoga session. I'm right there on the border of being fine with incense and it triggering a headache, but fortunately, it wasn't in the room that we practiced in, just the lobby. I visited Flourish for a hot yoga class with Jessi, and it was amazing! I practice yoga every day, but I only do hot yoga every once in a while, so it's a treat when I do. I always forget how light and cleansed I feel when I leave a hot yoga class. Our class was a vinyasa flow class, with balancing poses and other things added throughout. It was challenging, yet accessible, and we were always encouraged to listen to our bodies and take breaks when we needed to. I took a couple of water breaks and wipe-the-sweat-off breaks during the class, because hot yoga demands it of me. I sweat too much to just power through. The end of class was my favorite. During savasana, when we were lying on our mats and meditating, Jessi came around and put eye mask on our eyes and gave us a little head massage. It was so nice! I always love when instructors adjust me or put their hands on me in some way. It really connects me to the class and my practice. They have hot yoga classes, which is what I attended, but also warm yoga and non-heated yoga classes. I appreciated that they offered all kinds of options.

The studio is clean and zen, not overly decorated and has a nice peaceful feel to it. They also have a small boutique space selling some higher end yoga mats, cushions, penn & beech candles, and clothing. I dont live super close, so I'm not a monthly member for classes, but I will travel for occasional workshops. i just attended a special 2 hr workshop with Katarina on restorative yin, essential oils and self acupressure therapy. This was offered in person or via zoom; I went in person. Mats were distanced and all the usual protocols in place. She was well prepared and had handouts and a personal trio of oils set for everyone. Totally informative and a great session of self care. She mentioned this particular workshop will be quarterly, with different poses, oils and pressure points each time. I would definitely sign up again. #ReviewsByRL

Owner Barbara is a warm and caring teacher who helps everyone feel welcomed and part of the community. She offers just enough background information on poses or breathing techniques to provide context without taking too much time away from the actual practice. For anyone who is afraid of how you look in exercise clothing or that you're not "good enough" at yoga, fear not--all ages, body types, and abilities are represented here. Modifications and alternatives are provided for those who are not able to move with the rest of the group, so there's no pressure on "keeping up" or overextending past one's abilities. Yogaworx occupies a small studio space in a church that Barbara has been allowed to personalize, so it has a cozy and intimate feel. It's really good value for the money, and if you have to miss a class there are several others during the week to choose from for a make-up. I'm really happy I found YogaWorx and would recommend for anyone --even complete beginners, or those with limitations.

I'm still vibrating from my class. I attended Baptiste Power Yoga (now called Fire & Flow Yoga --…read morethey recently changed their name!) on an auspicious day: International Day of Yoga, which also happens to be summer solstice. On this very special day, they were offering a two-hour class where we would be doing 108 sun salutations. I didn't know if I could do that many sun salutations in a row. I was a little bit anxious because I not only didn't know if I could do 108 sun salutations without injuring myself or fainting, but also, I had never been to Fire & Flow, so I didn't know the studio or anyone there. But yoga people are my people, so I went with it and trusted the universe. When I arrived, I was treated like a regular, and everyone was super friendly. I got a little tour of the studio and got to check out the amenities. It's a small but very clean and functional studio, and they offer coffee and tea complimentary, and juice and other drinks to purchase. There are water stations to fill up your water bottle, restrooms, cubbies and a community kitchen where you can hang out. Because this was a long and special class, there were a few different instructors leading, and each brought a different energy to the group. They played uplifting music during the sun salutations, which helped keep up the momentum. At the end of the class, we were brought cold towels that smelled like lavender to put over our eyes while we meditated, and it was honestly the best thing I've experienced all week. I loved my first class at Fire & Flow, and I want to come back to experience a more "regular" yoga class! This place is so welcoming and warm, and I can't wait to visit again.

I believe her name was Martha. Her cues were so clear that I never had to look at her -- I could just close my eyes and focus on myself and the flow. She also cued some interesting and slightly challenging poses, which I enjoyed. Second, the class itself. This outdoor class that I got to experience on a beautiful and auspicious morning was completely free. Free! I didn't even have to register online or anything. I just showed up to the park, climbed to the top of a hill, and placed my yoga mat down on the grass. I think it is so cool, and so in the spirit of yoga, that Roots and Wings offers free outdoor yoga classes to the community. Talk about spreading good vibes! Roots and Wings is practicing what they are preaching. Third, this class that I took was not a one-off. They offer free outdoor classes all summer, plus some in the fall. I will definitely be joining some of the other classes they are offering, and also visiting them in the studio at some point. I can already tell that these guys are my kind of people.

Shine Yoga & Wellness Studio happened to be around the corner from an errand I was running in downtown Noblesville, so it was perfect. Stars aligning and all that. Brittney was the instructor of the Slow Flow class that I visited, and she was super energetic and welcoming. The yoga studio is very small but cozy and incredibly clean. Our class was tiny -- just five people in person and one joining online. (They offer virtual classes here, too!) I'm used to being in much bigger classes where I can just fade into the background, so this was different but nice. Brittney would offer encouragement to us by name, which was a thoughtful touch. Brittney's Slow Flow class was just what I needed today: A chance to move slowly and mindfully for an hour. She even incorporated some pranayama breathing at the beginning of the class to help us get grounded and prepare our bodies for intentional movement. The entrance to Shine faces an alleyway, which can be a little confusing to get to. But there are lots of signs directing you where to go. Just look for the signs!

Anna has since opened SageHouse Yoga in Carmel, and Georgia is teaching here, along with a number of other great instructors. How wonderful to have a yoga studio with such amazing people leading it! SageHouse is a beautiful space, with three different rooms designed for different types of yoga. They offer hot yoga and regular (unheated) yoga, which is great. My personal preference is regular unheated yoga, which I would have signed up for but the class was booked very quickly. So I took a heated class, which was held in the Sun Room, where the temperature was set to around 100 degrees. Georgia was our instructor. I have never sweated so much during a hot yoga class in my life! I loved the class, and left feeling purified and light as a feather. Georgia is such a great instructor -- she challenged us but also constantly reminded us that this was our practice, and we could take a break or modify if we needed to. One thing to keep in mind, if you take a hot yoga class here: If the class is full (which is probably will be), the mats will be very close together! They have tape on the floor to indicate where mats should be placed, and there is no extra room to spread your arms out. It is what it is. I'm used to practicing in a space where there is more room between me and my neighbor, so it was a little different to be so close to everyone. One of the things that I loved about the hot yoga class at SageHouse is that during savasana, they put a cold towel over your eyes, if you want. (And if you don't want, you can indicate that by putting your hands on your body.) It felt so nice to feel that coolness on my face as I relaxed after an intense class. I'm definitely returning to SageHouse Yoga to take more classes! What a great space to practice yoga, with great teachers to guide you along the way.

Merced was super thorough and did a great job on all my problem areas (I carry all my stress in my upper back and shoulders). She catered the massage to what I wanted specifically while still doing whole body work. She used essential oils to enhance the experience and make sure I felt the effects for the rest of the day! I am really interested in finding out more about the massage yoga. From what I've heard, it's a guided class where you hold the poses for extended periods of time and then Merced comes around and massages certain muscle groups while the pose it held. I think it sounds awesome! Between that class and other yoga classes, the monthly fee to attend any class is so worth it.
