Our sound-bath meditation was on point from the individual who speaks through the process and the breathing techniques during. I don't even know if I fell asleep or not lol. i was that relaxed. I was that comfortable and appreciated the me time and peaceful sounds. At one point you do hear the crashing sounds of a gong or horn (sorry first time and don't know the terminology) that were a little too loud that is what startled me and I was not able to go back into the concentration. Only downfall was they forgot to give me my blanket to cover up with so I was freezing the entire time. It's not a place you can raise your hand or yell out. I appreciate they do provide lockers, that you can personalize during your visit, with included phone chargers, clean bathrooms and a selection of warm teas.

I arrived at 1pm and there were several other folks there for the event. After signing in at the desk, the staff walked me over to the locker and showed me where to keep my things. After everyone arrived, one of the ladies gave us an intro to meditation and then we watched a 7 min video about the science behind mindfulness and meditation. The video needs to be updated as there was a lack of diversity (e.g, age, race, etc.) and that turned me off slightly. After the video, we were walked into the room, asked to grab a blanket and got into the hammock for the 45 minute sound bath and meditation. I serve on a board for an organization that's focused on mindfulness but this was my first time participating in a full on practice. It was very calming and allowed me to really get centered. The time went by fast and our instructor set the right pace. They offer a free session for first timers so I will be taking advantage of that. The studio is very clean, and they offered tea and other refreshments. But most importantly, there's plenty of parking.

Joni is so good at what she does. First time I went we look at my chakra's - she told me to rebook for an hour. She didn't want to do a halfway job. 3 of the longest days were spent waiting until I could come back. It was WORTH IT! She did her work and my chakra's were more open - a few were looking pretty bad. I know everyone's experience is diffrent - both times I've left feeling INCREDIBLE! Its good stuff and worth at the very least trying out. And of course I've been back since and only wished I would have started sooner. If you're looking for chakra balancing - go ahead and schedule it - you can thank me later.

We conversed about why I was there and her vibe was easy and honest: like talking to a wide friend. She checked my chakras then went to work. The overall experience was comfortable and clarifying.

I'm thankful for her healing work in releasing areas of blockage yet, getting to know me first. After our session, she gave me homework I.e. meditation, smudging, affirmations and the reasons behind them. I highly recommend Indigo lightpath and look forward to my next visit!

I visited this Buddhist center back in March 2025 for an open house. I occasionally practice…read moreBuddhism for my spirituality. Upon coming here, the building was extremely dark at night. The open house started at 7:30 PM. I would have liked and thought there was going to be well lit as well as them welcoming newcomers, however, not. The building was sketchy too. The parking was plenty, but I immediately felt uneasy and as I was about to leave until another visitor/an elderly lady spotted me in the parking lot and asked me where the open house was going to be. I pretended I knew to help her. Eventually, we were both lost when I couldn't get the door opened as it was locked at 7:20 PM. A guy walked up out of nowhere and said he had a key, then he unlocked the door. Another guy with long hair came from upstairs and said that the open house was "up here". The elderly lady got into the elevator while I climbed the stairway up. I was thinking that the open house would be in a large room. Absolutely not, about 10 people met inside a small room. Come to find out, the tiny room is where the Buddhist center is not the whole office building. There wasn't any shoes allowed in the room for comfort. Okay, I'm inside the room and sat in a chair as I didn't feel comfortable with sitting on the floor. The rest of the visitors sat on the floor. The guy with long hair came then immediately started explaining Tibetan Buddhism and how ties to Karma Kagyu, but founded by Lamar Ole Nydahl. He was speaking fast and I tried to keep up. He then started chanting. He had given us beads to hold. Again, we all chanted with him. He was reading a mantra very fast in a language I didn't recognize. It wasn't English as they said it would be. I don't know why he was going so quick. After he did that, the open house was over with. We had to give the beads back. The long haired man answered questions. Then we left. The open house was free. I honestly didn't care about my experience as it wasn't pleasant. I didn't return as the energy was off. I'll just stick to mediating at home.

Boy, they were right!! Our class took place on a Sunday evening and it was the perfect way to unwind before the busy week ahead! I left feeling relaxed, refreshed and calm - three feelings that I hadn't experienced much beforehand as it's been a stressful couple of months for me. When you first get there, you'll likely stand outside the front door (located on the second floor inside the building) as the instructor will open it just before class starts. IMPORTANT: they ask you to leave your shoes outside the front door, so if you're not comfortable with that, don't book a session! I'll definitely be returning as I really enjoyed this experience!

I like that there are beginner friendly classes and more advanced flows as well as heated and non heated options. Certain instructors and classes can be packed and even with a large space, you may have to stagger a bit for certain poses. However, all attendees have been super considerate and I've never felt judged or unwelcome. This location has a juiceland as well, where you can order ahead and have a refreshing treat waiting for you after class. It's easy to schedule online and check in at the front desk every time as well. Note that they're donation based but online the minimum I've found for single classes is $12. You can select a monthly membership as well. There are other locations in Montrose and the Heights and instructors can float between locations, so even if Kirby isn't convenient for you, there are options.

This place has both, and despite its impressive array of goods from clothes to furniture, it's well organized and easy to navigate. I'm normally a neutral-color dresser but some of the clothes encourage me to step out of my comfort zone into some louder designs. Additionally, the walls are all lined with non-clothing items for sale -- books, movies, glassware, water bottles, and more. I don't think I've ever come a cross a thrift store with this much versatility. Out of the Closet is serious about HIV/AIDS advocacy and they prove it by putting their money where their mouth is. Like many other thrift stores in Montrose, you can expect marked up (but still fair) prices compared to the larger ones with piles upon piles of clothes to sift through. 96% of all proceeds at this store, however, go toward supporting the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Free condoms are offered near the cashier counter; free HIV testing and a not-for-profit pharmacy sits in the back. The roots of thrifting inherently lie in supporting the community. This is usually accomplished through the affordability of everyday items, but this shop takes it to the next level by showing their dedication to safe sex and access to healthcare. Give this place a visit the next time you cruise through Westheimer -- they deserve your time more than you know.
