My friend and I recently visited Chattanooga. We were making plans last minute, so I searched for…read moreevents in the area on Facebook. There I found an event called "Inner Peace Sound Bath". My friend and I were both very intrigued and thought it would be something special to do, so we booked our tickets (through Eventbrite) the day before. Purple Sky is in the Southside area of Chattanooga, which we found to be really cool. There is parking behind the building. We entered to find a space set up for the bath. The class was full, but I don't think it was more than 12 people, so it was still intimate. We each had a mat on the floor to lie on, along with bolsters, eye pillows/weights, etc. Robin got us in the zone, then a friend from Nashville played some music/sounds before Robin took over. I truly loved this experience. It was 60 minutes, and I felt like I just mentally escaped for the entire time (aside from the room being just a degree or two too cold, so a couple times that got me). I was tempted to look up to witness the bowls and instruments Robin was playing, because it seemed out of this world, but I never did. This may not be what most travelers do, but I am so glad we found Purple Sky and the sound bath. It was so special, and I would absolutely go to a class or bath here if visiting Chattanooga again!

Her eyes convey a trust and openness that is as welcoming as it is comforting. I recently attended her Valentine's day love meditation and was so elated with the feelings I had when returning home that night. She guided us along as she described seeing a colorful light rising from ourselves and extending to the world and people around us leaving behind it only love and appreciation. I envisioned this light swirling through my heart and mind and then reaching out and enveloping everything around me. When the personal reflection ended and I returned to my body in the moment, I felt such an unburdening and release that was truly wonderful. Michelle not only leads guided meditations, but also performs Reiki and leads many spiritually creative workshops that are certain to make you feel enlightened and closer to self and spirit. She also produces amazing works of art that will make you smile and feel inspired to be creative,yourself! Do yourself a favor and pay her a visit.

A good friend brought me to the Sunday night Dharma Talk and Meditation at Wild Heart (formerly…read moreAgainst the Stream) in September when I first moved to town. While I was interested in mindfulness and meditation, I didn't have a regular practice. As someone who thrives with external accountability, however, the idea of practicing in a room full of people at the same time every week was super appealing. After parking at the lot next door at the Plasma Center (Wild Heart is very clear about please not parking in front of or behind their building, but instead along the road next to the building or in the lot next door), slipped off our shoes and took a seat on some cushions on the floor of the large mediation room. There are also chairs and a big bean bag in the corner, along with props and even blankets to make yourself comfortable. Relatively inexperienced at meditation, I was a little intimidated at first, but soon I felt right at home as Andrew offered guidance through the 20 or so minute practice. A 30 or so minute Dharma Talk followed. Again, I was casually interested in Buddhism but had done no formal study or practice. I brought a notebook to take notes, but many people just listened. The topic, cravings, was relevant to my life and seemed to be relevant to many others who chose to share during the discussion later. While the topic was presented through a Buddhist understanding and using some Pali/Sanskrit terminology, there was no doctrine being pushed, only a conversation about what it can sometimes be like to be human. A brief discussion ensued following the Dharma Talk, during which anyone who felt compelled or comfortable to share their experience could, but no pressure. Sometimes people ask questions about meditation techniques, sometimes they share extremely personal stories and struggles, and sometimes no one shares and Andrew has a line for that too. Attending on Sunday nights has been so beneficial to my own self knowledge and my compassion. Every week, I leave feeling like my life has become richer, like I've put a new lens onto my experience of the world, or taken one off. I have brought friends to the Sunday night sessions who all have different backgrounds in meditation and mindfulness, and without fail, we walk out bubbling up with excitement about how somehow it seemed to be just what we needed to hear. I have only attended the Sunday night sessions, but the Center offer so many other groups throughout the week. There are weekly groups for people in recovery, daily yoga offerings, and other mindfulness-related groups throughout the week. They also host guest teachers and retreats on a regular basis, and have special events around the holidays. One of the things I appreciate most about Wild Heart is that it is entirely donation-based in order to accommodate everyone interested in their services, regardless of their ability to pay. Teachers mention this at the end of their classes, but there is never any "hawking" or uncomfortable pressure. As a non-profit, they depend on donations to offer their services and to keep the lights on. After gaining so much from the Center, donating starts to feel like the least I can do. I almost don't want to post this review and keep Wild Heart as my little secret, but in the spirit of metta ("goodwill" or "benevolence" in Pali and an important Buddhist concept), I have to share such a valuable community resource. No matter your experience with Buddhism, mindfulness, or meditation, you will feel at home here.

I was weary at first, having embarrassed myself in yoga before. I have a complete inability to move as needed. But I figured I would give it a try. The Ivy House is for people like me. They teach awareness yoga, which is done entirely while lying on your back. Your legs are supported by various blankets and blocks so there is absolutely no pressure on your back. And all those yoga positions I couldn't do? Totally done on my back. With no balance needed, I could fully concentrate on stretching. REALLY stretching. I could feel myself becoming less stressed, less upset. They have this beautiful open space in this lovely house in West Nashville, and its just some home-like, peaceful, and soothing. They offer awareness classes three times a week for one and a half to two hours. I love their two hour class Saturday mornings. And after you finish class, they have freshly homemade yoga bread. With honey and butter. And hot fresh tea. It's the perfect way to start a weekend. Classes are $15 for one and a half hours or $20 for two hours, offered Monday nights, Thursday mornings, and Saturday mornings. And its worth every penny for how good you feel at the end. This isn't power yoga or exercise so much as a true full body relaxation. Corrine, the amazing instructor, is so helpful and welcoming to everyone, regulars and newbies alike. They also offer medication classes and retreats and massages as well. I recommend exploring their website to see what they offer that could benefit you. This is my favorite place by far to do yoga ever. I leave feeling relaxed and relieved. This place is a gem, no frills, no trends, just great people who care about health and wellness. You will not find a better place to go for a truly relaxing experience.

Being unschooled in Buddhist teachings and never having experienced this school of meditation I was planning to do my own thing. I did do my own thing, meditate, but was surprised at how warm and inviting the energy is here. I have since let go of some of my resistance to following the crowd due purely to their acceptance of me where I am. The space itself is austere with high ceilings and natural light. The cushions are comfy. The atmosphere created by the simple structure of the sit gives room to get into a deep inner place. The conversation at the end if the sit feels communal and more like fellowship than a lesson or instruction. There is plenty of street parking as well as a rough gravel parking lot. Make sure to get there on time on weeknights because the building is locked. The fee is donations​ or membership and the staff is volunteer based. Everyone obviously loves what they do. Their acceptance, openness, and wholesomeness make them a great addition to the community.
