I would say anyone would be hard pressed to find such an Ahhhhhmazing place that includes so much- anywhere. This place is a true sanctuary - all open to the public 7 days a week. It has an incredible thoughtfully stocked boutique to purchase gifts or wellness items, an organic cafe where the food actually tastes healthy and nourishing, beautiful yoga spaces and a spa, and gardens complete with labyrinth and a foot reflexology path. The locals are truly lucky to have a place like this in their town. read more

This was such a nice stop on our trip through Carbondale. We ordered some delicious lavender lemonade and took a stroll through the gardens! read more

The instructors are all excellent & so varied in the practice they offer. Just walking into the grounds will give you pause to soak in nature and is always an attitude changer for me. The food & drinks are fresh & organic & made with love. Whether you are a local, visitor or just passing through it is a "not to be missed" experience in our valley! read more

Beautiful delicious food and refreshing genuinely thoughtful customer service. The reflexology walk after dining is wonderful too! Great travel stop. read more

Such a beautiful place! It's a spa, a yoga studio, a crystal, woo woo, holistic health and wellness store, We need more like this, spreading peaceful energy. They have a coffee shop/restaurant inside and everyone made in house, all the plant based options of your dreams. The smoothie was delicious, all organic ingredients( if you care), we had a delicious apple cake, oh my universe! Super moist and spiced. Totally my type ;) I got some crystals because we out here trying to cope with this eternal pandemic and need all the help I can get. read more

This is the ultimate retreat. It's an easy drive from Denver that takes less than 3 hours. We worked with Alison to create our dream itinerary for my sister and I. We saw a myriad of staff and therapists for our spa indulgences over the period of several days. Stephanie, Cameron and Ishara are all standouts and provide sublime service. Alison is in a league of her own with extraordinary service and personal touches. She is the epitome of customer service. This is not an inexpensive place, but rather a series of planned treatments to provide the best custom relaxation plan. I had some tried and true favorites scheduled as well as new experiences. All of it left me feeling completely recentered and glorious. This is a good place, with good people offering the best of Carbondale. read more

Lunch there today in all season porch, overlooking peace garden. Vegan Cauliflower kung pao with generous peanuts (thanks Savannah!) with rice, was simply spectacular. This is really the best place for lunch, for me in Carbondale especially when I am seeking a healthy tasty lunch. Enjoy the view, the ambiance, the food and the service. All stars! read more

If you like overcooked hamburgers that cost too much this would be your place. Nothing special here.

We stopped here for coffee and a snack and ended up stopping back the next day when we came back thru. The gardens are so peaceful and lovely. Lots of greenery and stone work. They have this incredible green tea with lemonade, so refreshing! Also yummy vegan salads. I recommend this little hideaway if you are passing through Carbondale. Check their hours because they close mid afternoon. read more

So zen! Amazing spa and yoga experience in Carbondale! I was in town for a wedding and took advantage of a few hours in the morning to relax during my trip. After a 70 minute yoga class upstairs I headed down to grab a smoothie and walk in the zen garden. The place is very clean and calm - highly recommend read more

Love this place !!! It's great to come here during the day or on the way back from the biking trail (it's right next to it) and sit and meditate. They have a nice little cafe too! I had a massage done here as well! Great place to relax!! Always a pleasure!! read more

Amazing spa experience while in Carbondale! The whole vibe is healing along with the gardens to contemplate life. A definite must to visit! read more

I had a really good facial here but the massage was borderline dangerous. I really thought she was going to break a rib with her knee in my back. Truly the worst massage experience in 30+ years. Now I hear that they don't require vaccines and don't wear masks. I'm staying far away from here. read more

Ah! So Zen!! I absolutely love this place!! It is so cute and calming and just a lovely place to be! I booked a last minute same day appointment and they were able to accommodate me. I really enjoyed the scents they had going and all the fun things to look at while browsing and waiting for my massage. Crystals, little sculptures, jewelry, sage, lotions, so many cool things. I really felt like this was an experience and my massage was awesome! I want to come back for yoga here!! I hear it's great! My massuse also told me how they will be building an addition to this place and I am really happy for them! read more

This place is truly stunning. There are ample seating areas to work and the environment could not be more relaxing. Love this cafe!

Wanted to love this beautiful yoga studio, but classes are hit and (mostly) miss while none of the staff encountered clearly knew what their energy-work "body treatment" should entail. Especially the therapist who seemed to run out of movements during my 90-minute session and only hovered over my body despite asking for a energy-work massage when I booked the apt. After experiencing powerful and experienced energy work and cranial sacral (Elizabeth at The Light Circle in Glenwood Springs is legit), I explained to the staff how disappointed I was the therapist didn't appear to know what to do and was told maybe energy work "wasn't for me." Can't recommend going to any yoga class with a sub since a meditation teacher will give a yin-style yoga during the advertised vinyasa movement slot or one of the consistently rotating staff leads awkward and downright dangerous positions for the restorative stretching class. Attendees stared at each other as we contorted over props to unwind. Emilee's classes are just lovely if you can make it. Bummer more can't be like hers. read more

Love everything about this space! I could move to Carbondale just because this place exists! They have done such an amazing job with the garden and studios! Wish I had one of these back home in Florida! The food was soooo good and nourishing!! I didn't even feel guilty about enjoying the tiramisu! We ended up finding this gem serendipitously and stayed most of the day here. read more

Total gem of a place! I stopped in with my sister hoping to grab a quick bite for the road and we could not leave for at least an hour and a half! So many delights for the eye, mouth, and soul. Next time we try to power across the country in four days we will definitely budget more time, if only to take in a little more of the delightful atmosphere, stellar bites, friendly staff, and possibly a workshop at True Nature. read more

This is a little paradise. The classes are fantastic. The space for the yoga classes is one of the best i have been in. This entire place is an incredible gift to all of us in the area. An absolute treasure!!! read more

I can't give enough praise to True Nature. It is truly a gift of love to the town of Carbondale and the community at large. I find myself spending more and more time there in my pursuit of healing. The grounds and facility are beautifully breathtaking, the teachers and staff friendly and inviting, and the food and juice just right for a self guided cleanse. There is truly a sense of serenity and positive energy there. Again, I can't say enough, except Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for this gift!!! read more

Love the energy of the place and everyone was so nice! Look forward to having lunch there again soon. The mushroom soup was yummy!

I attended Deva's Intuitive yoga combined with Eaden's beautiful guitar music- it was an incredible harmonious and electrifying healing experience. I felt in union with myself after only 10 minutes. I wish I lived in Carbondale to visit their classes each day. Elizabeth, Houston, Texas read more

Spent an amazing day with my sister here. An incredible yoga class taught by Ashley followed by the best massage of my life. Paul is amazing! The ambiance is relaxing and lovely. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Super chill atmosphere...love it. Totally recommended for a place to unwind and just "be".

What a great place! Wonderful, calm, welcoming energy. Lovely space for a cup of tea or a stroll in the meditation labyrinth. Excellent yoga classes and staff. How fortunate to have this in our community. read more

I stopped in Carbondale while on my way back from the Western slope during theThanksgiving weekend, hoping to get a last minute massage. I'm not sure if this is normal, but I was able to schedule a same day appt at True Nature with Paul. It was just what I needed! Tuning forks, moist heat therapy and more... Paul pulled out all the stops I've never received with any other standard massage. You never know with a new therapist but I was very pleasantly surprised. It's also in a beautiful, peaceful building, I didn't mind waiting on premises as I landed 45 mins early. read more

Warm and welcoming staff. I was just a drop in from out of town and I felt like a regular. Beautiful studio with well cared for props. The teacher was very knowledgeable and came around to correct you if you needed it. Always a plus in my book! read more

Overbooked class and horrible treatment! I live on the front range and visit Glenwood Springs for getaways. On my last visit I had a conversation with a nice lady at the pool and after telling her that I was an alternative practitioner she that told me about True Nature Healing Center thinking I would enjoy it. She then explained that they were having a song bowl meditation the next evening and that it frequently sold out. So, I went on line and purchased my spot. There description also stated that it usually sells out and to arrive 10 minutes early. Having never been to carbondale I left early so that I would arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the meditation. I used my GPS to find the center. Upon arrival in carbondale I discovered there was a festival in town and some of the streets were blocked off. It took me a while to drive around and find the center. However there was no parking anywhere in town because of this festival and I drove around and around and finally found a spot. I walked quite a long way to finally arrive, still 5 minutes early. When I checked in at the desk the very nice lady told me that I could just go on up. I explained that I had never been there before so I didn't know where it was. Then another lady (blonde with an Australian type accent, appeared to be a manager or maybe the owner) walked up behind the desk and blurted out " I'm pretty sure its already full". I then explained that I pre-purchased a spot on line. She said, "well we can go up and look but I don't think there is any room". We walked to the top of the stairs and she then turned around and very rudely stated " It clearly states on the website to arrive by 7:00pm for this event" (it does not say that, it say's to arrive 10 minutes early). I am not feeling very welcomed at this point, more like attacked, she opens the door and it is dark and the event has clearly already started and she turns to me and says "well, what do you think"? I'm flabbergasted by her behavior at this point and tell her "I don't know what you mean"? and she continues "well do you see any space to lay down" I continued " I don't even know how to respond to that" and she says "I can put you in front of the door, I'll get you a mat". Now I am getting mad and can't believe someone would treat me this way and when she returns I tell her that I'm going to leave and can she just refund me my money. She say's she can and we return back to the desk. While she is helping the lady figure out the refund another women walks in and states that she is also there for the meditation and the same women tells her "its sold out". This lady also explained that she had reserved a spot and the women again states "its sold out", looks at her watch and says " it is now 7:33, this event started at 7:30". The lady is also upset and say's I don't understand why you take reservations?" and she turned around and left. As I am getting ready to leave, very upset, this woman then say's that she is sorry and if I would like I can go up and meditate in the chapel next door and I will be able to hear the bowls and she won't charge me for it! Unbelievable!! This felt like big business anywhere in the USA. Does she really think after being treated in such a foul manner that I would even be able to meditate? I will take responsibility for my part in this that although I thought I had allowed plenty of time I was not there as early as I had anticipated. However, these people should have taken responsibility for the fact that they clearly over-booked this event, did not respect their reservations, did not notify anyone or allow for the fact that there was a festival in there town and that it might be difficult to park and get to them and they clearly had started early. I work with people all the time in my practice and I have learned that you never know what burned others are carrying around. I have recently suffered an unimaginable tragedy in my life and went seeking some compassion and peace, shame on you for treating people in this manner. If this is what Buddhism is all about - no thank you. I would never return to this center nor would I recommend it to anyone. read more

I had a massage here while on vacation. I had just covered 200 touring miles on my bicycle (about 60lbs of total loaded weight) in two days and I needed some help. I called in and they were able to get me in same day for an hour and a half massage. At first I was floored at how expensive it was, but I knew that I needed some help getting my IT band to release over my knees. If I didn't the next 10 days of vacation and riding would be pointless. As I am absolutely horrible with names, I cannot remember the gentleman's name that did my massage. I cannot say enough good things about his work though. As an avid athlete, I get massages weekly back home. This man managed to work on every issue I brought up and did so thoroughly. He understood that I need body work done, not just a relaxing massage. Having said that, there would be no question in my mind that he could provide one of the most amazing relaxing massages ever. The atmosphere was exactly as you would expect. No details were left unattended to. Perhaps the massage rates are normal for this area since it's heavy with tourists, I'm just used to paying $85/hr back in Dallas for professional massage therapists that have worked on the Dallas Stars for a living in the past. That's my only reason for only 4 stars instead of 5. read more
