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.

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.

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.

When I signed up for classes with Yulia, I didn't even know what Yoga Nidra was! I had been diagnosed with an illness which greatly limits energy. I had loved doing yoga before, but I was suddenly unable to do even restorative yoga. When I read something describing Yoga Nidra as being almost like taking an amazing nap, I thought "Hey! I can do that!!" What I didn't know is how powerful Yoga Nidra actually is! It's hard to explain, really. To me, it is like meditation multiplied by 100 (and I had always found meditation to be difficult). But, the greatest thing is that Yulia has an amazing awareness regarding what a person needs individually. My sessions with Yulia are completely tailored to my life and what I need in order to evolve and heal and shine. Hers is definitely not a "one size fits all" approach. There is no way to put into words how my work with Yulia has helped me. The best I can do is to say that the way I live and experience life has been wonderfully transformed into something quite amazing. It has definitely been much more than a nap. In fact, it is more like waking up.
