Came via Class Pass to hot sculpt. A solid workout and an incredible sweat! Suni was a great instructor. all the regulars are really nice and encouraging. I also loved that there was free parking behind the studio. If you take the redline, it's super close too! I plan on coming back soon! read more

I booked this class on class pass. As this is my first class I felt I was well prepared, bringing a towel, water and a mat. The music was awesome as well as the instructor! I will be back. Zhanna was my instructor read more

It only took three hot yoga classes at The Yoga Studio to kind of start liking hot yoga. I did not like it at all before. Now my body is craving hot yoga. Thanks, The Yoga Studio, for making me a believer. This Broad Ripple location is one of two The Yoga Studio locations -- the other one is in Carmel. Don't tell the Carmel location, but I prefer this Broad Ripple studio. It's just a little more ... down to earth? Funky (not in a smelly way)? More "yoga"-ish? I can't put my finger on it, but it feels more in tune with the things I value about yoga. It's a small yoga studio, but it's great. The slow flow class seems to be the one I'm drawn to the most: The first half is led, then on your own, then led again, then on your own. The second half is all led, so you can turn off your brain and just listen to the instructor and move your body into the asanas. It's hot yoga, so bring a towel and water. A headband is also a good idea. I feel like the classes here skew toward more established yoga practitioners. Complete beginners would probably feel frustrated and lost, so it's probably best to have some knowledge of yoga and the poses under your belt. The parking situation here is a little dicey, though. There's a parking lot directly in back of the yoga studio, which you're encouraged to park in. There are other parking spaces near The Vogue that you probably shouldn't park at because you might get towed. I'd say get here at least 10 minutes before your class so that you find appropriate parking. The studio's address is on College Avenue, but you can't park on College at all. You'll have to take a right on Broad Ripple Boulevard, and another right on Carrollton, and park around there. read more

Before training at the Yoga Studio, I had no previous experience with pilates, yoga, group classes, or classes in a heated space. I workout in gyms consistently but had never tried anything that falls under the classes they offer. Given that I didn't have prior experience, I was a little nervous. I thought I'd be intimidated or inexperienced, leading to failure. However, my experience with The Yoga Studio could not be more opposite. I decided to try the 45 Minute Hot Mat Pilates Express class taught by Margo Fox. Walking through the doors, I felt a sense of comfort. Everyone was welcoming and while I might have felt like an outsider on the inside, no one even noticed. You could tell that each teacher has several years of experience and are very knowledgable. By the end of the class, we worked on four different muscle areas. We worked our glutes, core, legs, and arms, finishing with meditation. What I liked best was how encouraging our instructor was. She was constantly giving empowering feedback, motivating us to push ourselves and give our best. When you finally hit that meditation part at the end, you get a second to breathe and reflect on how much you just accomplished. Even though you sweat like never before, everything feels worth. I will definitely be coming back for another express class and am interested in the Pilates Sculpt Class as well. They offer several different deals for members. They offer a $35 two-week unlimited program for new students, as well as a one-month unlimited membership for $99 if you're ages 25 and under. They offer many other memberships/packages as well. This yoga studio seems to be a local favorite. Many Butler students go there as well as Broad Ripple residents. Both men and women all different ages attend classes so there's so many people keeping you motivated. They are currently hosting a Fall Challenge where if you complete 20 classes in 30 days, you get free merch and 10 extra points! Several members are participating in it. Overall, The Yoga Studio is a very welcoming environment and worth the money. They care about you, your health, and push you to be the best version of yourself. read more

See all

I absolutely love this place! Challenging but rewarding classes, I love the Pilates. The staff is so welcoming, I already want to go back.

The staff is nice enough and the classes were a different flow, which was interesting, in a good way. My second time practicing at this studio, i chose an early morning class experience. The class was packed. When I got into the room there wasn't any obvious place for me. One nice yogi offered to move over and coordinated her neighbors to scooch down. The young woman on the other side was busy doing a wide legged rocking happy baby and was verbally annoyed at having to include someone into the row. During the practice she was clearly going out of her way to encroach into my mat space. I've never had that kind of negativity in a yoga studio and it ruined my practice. We all paid to be there and I wasn't late. However, if they are going to over sell classes in such a small space, I'd expect the management to put some guidelines in place to create a safe, welcoming space for all. read more

If you're looking for a very Americanized exercise/aerobics-type of workout, then this could be the place for you. I was looking for a place to continue and possibly advance my longstanding yoga practice, so it wasn't right for me. I got a two-week pass and went to six classes. Positives: -Clean studio -Clean bathrooms -I generally liked the sequencing of the classes, although some instructors have you go back and forth between standing, lying down, standing balancing, etc. in a way that is awkward and potentially dangerous at the end of such a hot class. Negatives: -Very corporate, cookie cutter feel to the practice. -Instructors generally don't demonstrate, leading to confusion in every class, where students were doing different things. This creates a bad energy in the class, when the instructor is experiencing something so entirely different from the group. -Heated room was way too hot in some classes, with students leaving the room or spending half the class lying down or in child's pose. They said it was a new heating system that was making the room hotter than it was supposed to be. Because of how hot it was, I always had to schedule a class on a day where I had nothing else to do after and could go home and shower right after, so that limited how many I could attend. -Bad smell. This is due to the heating and sweat, which I get is part of their whole theme/branding. However, at least during this time of covid risk, it would have been nice for them to provide some air circulation. -Extremely dark room. This is actually quite dangerous when combined with the hot room, because you can't tell when you're starting to black out. Several of the instructors tried to incorporate sequences that had you moving your head upside down and back up repeatedly, which combined with the heat, is a recipe for fainting. -Made up names for postures, often with no explanation. Examples include sky archer pose, dragonfly, awkward twist, airplane, seated tree. I've been doing yoga for 15+ years and have never heard these terms used, so I can only assume it's something to do with their branding/certification. -They don't actually give you time/instruction to work on more challenging postures, so it is more like an aerobics class where you're just following along with the moves. -Extremely loud music in every class. This made it hard to focus and frequently made it impossible to hear the instructor. I did classes with several instructors. The most unpleasant were with Courtney and Karen. Courtney literally sat in the corner looking/sounding bored while calling out the instructions. I have to say "calling out the instructions," because this couldn't possibly be considered teaching. Karen didn't enunciate well or explain postures and transitions very clearly, which led to students being confused. When everyone was doing something different, she'd say things like, "I know, it's complicated," for things that actually weren't complicated, they just weren't demonstrated or described clearly. She also had the club/lounge style music way up high, so it was hard to hear over her already difficult to understand voice. The regular students did seem to enjoy all of these classes. Classes with Donna, Erin, Amy, and Matt were more tolerable. Matt's and Amy's classes were almost enjoyable, and you can tell they would be a good instructors if not bound by the rigid format of this studio. Because of the lack of attention to proper form, I wouldn't recommend this studio to a beginner. I also wouldn't recommend it for anyone trying to advance their practice, as they don't take time to work on/improve more advanced postures. read more

Just started a new student pass, my general impression is 3/5. This is a very hit or miss studio when it comes to instructors. Some instructors "get it" (excellent flow, teaching, cohesive atmosphere, spirituality, physicality) other seem totally off. One in particular plays her music SO loud (despite multiple requests to turn volume down) that I worry about my and my future children's hearing :) Nice space, nice people, instructors are too variable. read more

Been to several yoga studios and purchased new student passes in Indianapolis and surrounding areas and The Yoga Studio has been the one I return to every time. Love the balance between a really good workout and peaceful intention and mindfulness. Each instructor is unique and I enjoy what I take away from every class. The heat is perfect in my opinion--others have been too hot or humid. The City Center and Annex have one yoga room, which is a smaller feel compared to other studios, but I like the intimacy. Weekday classes aren't too packed typically, but some of the weekends can be pretty busy with full classes around 30 people. Hot vin is one of my favorites each time & I always enjoy Caroline and Franquie! read more

I attended the Ashtanga Flow class with Beth for $17. If you are expecting a Mysore-style or counted primary series class, this is not for you. The room is heated - which makes binds difficult. The music played was very loud pop (Britney, Miley, etc), which would have been fine except I couldn't hear my own breathing and could only hear about half of what Beth was saying, even though she was literally yelling. And I could not really go off of my memorized series, because she deviated from the sequence a lot (and I got the feeling she did not want me moving forward on my own). As a Vinyasa class it was okay, but the poses were held for much longer than 5 breaths, and they were frequently out of order, so definitely not Ashtanga. The verbal instructions for adjustments were completely in audible due to the music. She also taught side crow at the very end, which was not possible for me at all since I was very sweaty due to the heat. Counted Primary and Mysore-style classes are available at Cityoga. As a Vinyasa class this was fine - just needed quieter music. read more

This was our first time trying out this studio for hot yoga and we were fairly impressed! We were greeted when we walked in and were helped through the registering process, and then were helped with a mat and towel and where to set up. A student walk-in rate is only $10 so it's not too bad, and then the first time you go, you get to rent a towel and mat for free. The lobby is really small and it was super crowded moving around because a class got out as people were coming in for our class. It was a Saturday morning, but it was PACKED! My mat was only 2 inches from the person next to me and I wasn't able to stretch out as much as I wanted and I felt a bit uncomfortable at times. The instructor was great and relaxing and helpful, but I wish that the instructor was doing the moves in front of the class because I had a bit of trouble following the verbal cues. Overall, everyone was very friendly and helpful. You will sweat in places you didn't even know you could sweat, but I feel very good after. I did like this whole experience, but it was too crowded to want to come again on a Saturday. read more

This is the best studio in Indianapolis by a long shot. I love the different class offerings, there are wonderful teachers and the energy of the place is great. Make sure to stop by if you're in Indy. read more

I've made an unofficial fitness goal this year to try to check out a local yoga studio during my work travel trips. And only a short jaunt from the Broad Ripple Hotel, the Yoga Studio was a solid start to my yearly adventure. This particular studio is quite small - I only saw one room for classes. There's a bit of merchandise off to the right as well as cubbies to store your things while in practice. They also offer a free mat and towel rental if you're visiting or taking your first class. The class I took was the 45 minute Yin Yoga - a slower paced, relaxing practice with longer pose holds and much less heat in the room. There were only two other people who attended this class (compared to the very full hot vinyasa class letting out as I walked in). The instructor was calming, knowledgable, and helped me start out my day on a relaxed note. Next time I stay in the area I'll certainly drop back in for another class at the Yoga Studio - perhaps I'll try the popular flow class! read more

As my yoga practice grows, TYS continues to offer new and challenging aspects for both my mind and body. I feel their classes offer more variety now than ever before, and with the addition of the Annex all are able to get restorative and more relaxing classes. I am in the middle of my 30 day challenge and I can't help but feel so much gratitude for this sanctuary I have found. Try their new student special and let the teachers guide you through a Slow Flow or YinYasa class if you are newer. If you are experienced, enjoy the upbeat offerings of a Hot Vinyasa. This is not only a place of yoga classes but a real community. TYS offers a number of workshops on the weekends for inversion, mindfulness, and restoration. read more

The Yoga Studio is a pivotal part of the Indianapolis Yoga Community and this location is the cornerstone. Located in the heart of Broad Ripple, this space is cozy and charming. Smaller style lobby with local and brand name merchandise. One bathroom and no shower (FYI). Plenty of blocks and bolsters to borrow, and one big room for class that is usually packed. The heat here feels a bit more humid on occasion than the other locations. It definitely can get steamy, especially when they open the door at the end in the middle of winter. The instructors for Slow Flow generally teach in a similar fashion and working up a sweat is not a problem. Barb, Shannon, Franquie, and Ashlee are a few of my favorite instructors. Check out a class sometime as they have many package deals! read more

I've been coming to The Yoga Studio for a little over a month now and I continue to be happy that I found this studio! The classes offer time to relax and focus as well as time to challenge yourself and get a good work out. I initially bought the New Student package which gives you unlimited classes for 2 weeks for only $29, plus you get 10% off any other packages you buy within those 2 weeks, which I think is a great deal! All the staff and instructors are very friendly. For my first class I met Gina who was working the front desk and she was super helpful and friendly, I had a lot of questions as I'd never done hot yoga before. She shared a lot of info with me and got me set up in the studio with one of their yoga mats and mat towels for free. It's a really great opportunity to try higher quality equipment, all I had was a cheap mat from Target. I've taken classes from several different instructors and I've enjoyed all their classes. It's great to be able to experience so many different teaching styles. I leave each class feeling like I did something really great for my mental and physical health. Karen, the owner of the studio, teaches classes often. She is a great instructor; she makes you feel empowered and comfortable with whatever it is you feel like doing that day as well as manages to get a couple laughs out of the class. Definitely recommend getting to class 10-15 minutes early as this place is popular and the studio fills up quickly! Highly recommend! read more

Wow. Just a wonderful place to go for peace, motivation, fitness, enrichment, encouragement. I have been to many classes at the studio and have liked them all but I LOVE the 6am W/F class. I set the tone for my day. Karen challenges me to focus within on my intention and who I am and how I can be my best. I enjoy the music: varies in volume and tone along with the flow. I enjoy the studio: hot, clean, welcoming. I love it when its so busy that it seems as we all practice as one. It is a good meditation to remember that we all live together and sometimes we have to move over and make room or compromise. I like that the lights are low. It allows me to stop comparing myself to others in the room and focus on my practice. The intensity of the flow becomes its own meditation of strength and softness, it allows me to get out of my head and join breath and movement. I moved out of state for a couple years and I searched for anything similar to this and did not find it. When we decided to move back to Indy one of my greatest home comings was when I returned to deepen my practice at the yoga studio. They have classes, workshops, kids classes, mens classes, slow flow, vinyasa flow and probably a ton more I don't know about. AND they are invested in the community and making a difference. LOVE!!!! I hope you try it out. Just make sure you bring your water bottle cause you're gonna sweat! :-) read more

I was very disappointed with this class. I attended the 75 min hot yoga class. I had read online that it was supposed to be 95 degrees. I am visiting from San Diego so didn't know much about this studio. I had just run the Boston marathon 5 days earlier and really needed a super hot class to loosen my muscles. Well I come to find out they have removed the heaters. The class was barely warm. I paid $17 for a class I could have done at my house. The women at the counter said they were going through renovations, just wish the website would have said that. read more

I enjoy the broad ripple studio! I had a tough week and wanted to clear my head and mind of all the clutter. I got a class in on Saturday at 4 - vinyasa flow. Loved the hot temp in the room, really got my sweat going and it felt good. The class went well! Not too full not too empty. The rock lamps were a great calming factor as well. I like the freedom and flexibility in this class to work on your own pace at your poses as I use this exercise to really focus inward and let my mind go. The only thing I would like to see improved is the scheduling process itself. They use a common app, which is a great app. You cannot schedule classes ahead of time on the app so I was unsure until I got there if I would be able to actually get in the class or if it would be full. Aside from that, I loved the studio and the class and will continue to return!! They have the cutest space and they have a lot of great merch to buy as well! read more

I "heart" this place. Like, seriously. I've been to various yoga studios around the city, yet this is the first one I truly felt at home. This place is excellent for beginners. I've attended three different classes and all of the teachers have stoppeed to provide me with the support I needed and didn't even know I needed as a newbie. As a previous Yelper mentioned. I especially love the Annex location. It is so serene. I love the various art work and the fire place. Beautiful studio. I can't not recommend this place enough.Truly an incredible experience. read more

Namaste. This is by far one of my favorite studios. All of the instructors have a different flair and technique, but I have enjoyed almost every single class. I got hooked this past November during their 30 Classes in 30 Days Challenge. For $100 you get unlimited yoga for 30 days and if you finish the challenge (which I did)...you get a FREE t-shirt - and lots of other perks! All of the front desk people are super helpful and if they don't know an answer they will find it for you. I have visited all three studios - the BR location, the "Annex" on 65th, and the Carmel studio. Each has their own vibe but all can get crowded around class times, so I would recommend getting there early to get the spot you want. You can rent a mat or towel as well, but BYO water bottle to take advantage of the filtered water. My only wish is that they could have a locker room area at each location and not just the Carmel studio. Obviously space is at a premium in the BR studio, but it would be awesome to rinse off there. If I lived in Carmel AND they had a 5:30 a.m. class, I would seriously be there almost every morning. But, I live in BR and have to be at work by 7:00 a.m. so it can't happen. So, I'm going technically with a 4.5. with a strong recommendation for these studios and classes! read more

4.5 stars really. I just finished my two week new member unlimited for $29 and I really enjoyed this studio. The staff and patrons are friendly and familiar, the space is clean and accessible, the teachers competent and challenging and the class schedule perfect for my needs. The morning classes scheduled between 8-930 am were perfect for me (typical 6am classes are too early and 10am classes let out too late for me to get to work at a reasonable hour) and many other studios don't offer classes during that time. There are two studios. The one i never went to is downtown and I believe you can go to either with a multi class package. The studio I did attend is in Broad Ripple just down from the vogue. The entry is in the back and not on College Avenue. I thought parking would be an issue, but honestly every time I went to a class I never had a problem finding a spot in the large lot behind the studio. Even if there is an event and there is a guy charging for parking, if you tell him you are going to the yoga studio he will let you park for free. Upon arriving, you will notice the entry room is small. You might be bumping shoulders as the entry room fills up when classes transition from one to another. That said, no one seems to mind as students and teachers call each other by name, ask about each others pets and personal lives, wish each other happy birthday and everyone seems quite familiar and friendly. If you do the new student two week $29 package, you get a mat and mat towel free for your first class (a thoughtful touch). I noticed they mop the floor quickly in between each class. That's a nice thing that I don't see some other studios do. The classes themselves are solid. I did several different types including their slow flow and regular hot flow class and found the difficulty challenging, but not overwhelming. Each class did something different than other studios I have visited: at some point after we did a certain combination of poses a few times as a class, the instructor would turn up the music and leave us to spend 5 minutes or so working through that same flow on our own. I liked being able to go at my own pace and being in control of my class for a little bit. There were a few times that I had to stop and rest for a few minutes because the heat was too much, but honestly I'm not sure if that was just me being dehydrated or whether the room was really hotter than I could normally handle. Either way, bring at least one yoga towel or quick dry towel for your mat as you will sweat heavily. This brings me to one of my only complaints. They only offer hot yoga classes. I found myself missing the occasional regular, non-heated class. I find that I very much enjoy the hot yoga classes, but I find that I can focus more on the poses and it becomes more of a strength workout when I'm doing a non-heated class. It's nice to be able to have that variety sometimes. Overall, I found this an excellent studio worth a try by any local or traveling yogi looking for a challenging hot yoga class in a friendly environment. read more

My favorite place to practice yoga in Indy. This place has a great energetic vibe in the classes from both the fellow yogis and the instructor. I've always enjoyed the hot classes and it's hot enough to get you into a good sweat. The instructors are great at giving you a challenging flow that makes you have had a cathartic workout. The only con is sometimes the classes can be really crowded. I like to come early so I can save a spot for my mat. read more

hi my name is nick, I recently purchased a two week trial period from broad ripple yoga ,to give my hand at yoga, I'm above average physical fitness an I thought I would be a good challenge. I took too it very quickly , increased flexability and stronger. like in three days Ive noticed a change . I also notice how arrogant the staff is , and unorganized how they sub an change locations on a whim, made me feel anxious and un easy . no word of encouragement. many times I herd if you feel like this move or this extra stretch, take an jump back in just 3 more vinyasa or what ever they called it. so I would take a stretch longer or modify the pose .an oh my god come on stay with us, no veering off, we will give you a chance later which. never comes . so if you do yoga for peace an tranquility , Don't come here. but if you want overbearing .overweight an ocd , instructors this is the place. city center is even worse. everybody is angry there costumers to staff. thanks read more

An awesome workout! Hot Vinyasa and Power yoga. I always come out of there drenched which is great. Thank you to Karen for allowing the Pike H.S. kids experience yoga in an actual studio. read more

Welp, I think I've caught the hot yoga fever (get it?) and The Yoga Studio in Broad Ripple may be my new favorite spot for finding my zen! I love the studio, it has a great layout, it's conveniently located in Broad Ripple and I have enjoyed every class I've taken here so far. The Yoga Studio offers a unique twist in its classes by incorporating music. I love this as it serves as another distraction from the difficulty of some of the poses. Ya know how sometimes you just need a little Eminem to find that motivation to get into tree pose? Maybe that's just me, but regardless, I love having the music to motivate me. All of the instructors are great, each of them encouraging you to go at your own pace. The studio's Vinyassa class is different from my other yoga experiences as it gives yogis the chance to go through their flow independently while incorporating poses unique to their own practice. The studio has three locations and a plethora of classes to choose from. Different classes incorporate different music styles and varying heat levels giving yogis plenty of options! The student/senior/veteran discount is also a great perk. $10 classes? Heck ya! read more

I went to The Yoga Studio for 6am Slow Flow when in town for work. Really nice studio, helpful teachers. The class was warm and challenging. Love that they offer free mat and towel rental for your first class. read more

As a pretty new yoga student, I decided to check out The Yoga Studio because of its great reviews and proximity to my apartment. The woman at the desk was extremely helpful in getting me a two week unlimited new student membership (only $29!!) and I used it quite a bit in those two weeks, trying the Hot Vinyasa and Slow Flow classes. The instructors ranged in their teaching styles which I really liked and were always walking around attentive to each student despite how packed the classes were. I just wish there was a bit of a warning on the Hot Vinyasa class that it is not for new students; the instructor runs through a long series of poses and then gives time for everyone to go through it independently and I found it difficult to remember them all (but maybe that's a personal problem hahah!). It should also be noted that new students on the two week package get 10% off class package purchases so I definitely took advantage of that and will be back! read more

This place is amazing! Truly has helped me better my body. Love the atmosphere and staff here. Always leaving feeling so much better. Thank you everyone at the Yoga Studio... You're all awesome! read more

Love it. As challenging as you want it to be. The heat might take a few times to get use to but then you'll love the cleansing and how the heat lets you stretch. read more
