Crystals
Sana K.

Beautiful crystals inside. Pricey. I got an intro session gifted to me. It was very relaxing and nice to have an intro video giving instructions. You get a bag of crystals (9 to be exact) to use during your session. U definitely feel asleep. The floor is warm. You get nice and comfortable. I didn't want to get up. Learned a lot. Recommend trying once

I love trying new places and I was gifted a session here. It's right by the Ulta and Kohl's across from the Fashion Mall so it's super easy to find. The front half of the business is an adorable store with natural stone products and candles, jewelry, etc. but the prices are steep. If you're new and going for a session, as soon as you walk in they want you to fill out a waiver. You leave your phone and belongings in a cubby before entering the meditation space, that's why I don't have any additional photos. The meditation session was pretty neat. The room was sleek and zen like. You lay on a heated lava stone slab floor with a pillow head rest and a leg support cushion. Our session came with a free pack of crystals. As a first timer, even with the video introduction, I felt like I was kind of flying solo. They guide you back to the group meditation room and leave. I'm sure I could have asked questions but there was someone already meditating with their eyes shut so I was trying to be quiet. The one staff member working was super friendly. I wouldn't be opposed to giving it a second try now that I know what I'm doing.

I loved this place, but sadly it shows that it is permanently closed. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. A great stress reliever.

I am happy to say that 8 students were present at Shane Photography for the first session of Inner Peace Yoga's new Tuesday evening Beginner I yoga class - including myself and hubby. Inner Peace Yoga owners Carol and Charles Crenshaw teach in the Himalayan tradition, which is what I first experienced years ago and still one of my favorite methods of practice. While vinyasa flow, power yoga and hot yoga seem to be all the rage these days - and they certainly serve a great many individuals - I prefer a slower pace where postures are held and/or repeated. I also like to incorporate breathwork and meditation into my practice. That is why I enjoyed IPY's new Carmel class so much - it really reminded me of what made me interested in yoga in the first place - when I left I felt at peace, more focused and de-stressed. Normally a late-nighter, I was ready for bed at 10:30 and slept like a log. I also tend to favor IPY's approach of building one's practice over time In other words, if you're totally new to yoga, you begin at the beginning and establish a foundation of yoga postures, breathing awareness and technique and movement. Then, as you feel comfortable and your instructor thinks you are ready, you progress to more challenging classes. In this way, you are less likely to get injured or simply become disillusioned with your practice. Plus, you really learn about yoga from the inside-out, in my opinion, which makes it much more possible to develop a home practice. Another bonus: IPY offers classes, workshops and other events on complementary subjects such as meditation, ayurveda, chanting and the like, as well as retreats. These are particularly helpful if you are more interested in expanding your yoga practice beyond postures on the mat :-)

The Hermitage - Father Justin, founder of The Hermitage

The Hermitage

Known by nearly everyone as The Hermitage, this Eastside landmark is an international,…read morenon-denominational, interfaith center started by Father Justin Belitz, O.F.M., in 1984. Located on East 46th Street in a nicely wooded area that remains relatively untouched by the surrounding growth, The Hermitage is between Emerson and SR 37 and is definitely set apart from the busyness that surrounds it. I've been familiar with The Hermitage for years, partly through my past involvement with the Center for Attitudinal Healing and partly because of my long-standing interest in meditation and personal growth. While it has changed somewhat over the years, a period of financial crisis a few years ago has seemingly given birth to a more grounded and stable organization that continues to have Father Justin at its core. In fact, if rumor is remotely accurate, it was largely Father Justin's absence that had sent the organization downward financially and he simply brings a spiritual and physical peace to the place that continues to be true. The Hermitage is right next to a Franciscan residence, though my guess is it is largely utilized by Father Justin and other others and is connected but separate from this public facility. As you can tell by the photo, The Hermitage is somewhat accessible. It is most certainly not 100% accessible as it has an upstairs area that would simply not be accessible in any way. My experience with the organization has always been that they are open to accommodating to the best of their ability on the ground and main levels of their building. They have ample parking in front of their building - it's mostly smooth, though there's nothing that is marked as accessible. The front entrance does have a concrete ramp - again, I'm definitely not sure I'd call it ADA compliant but it is a solid effort to make an older building accessible. That said, if you're in a wheelchair and wanting to attend programs I'd recommend either having a companion with you or calling ahead to make them aware of your needs. The Hermitage hosts a variety of programs including meditation groups, Success: Full Living, Silva Method, and Success: Full Relating. Pretty much all classes are small given that the overall capacity is right around 30, though The Hermitage does quite a bit of outreach in the community. They also do rent space to massage therapists, psychotherapists, and anyone else who seems to fit within their vision and mission for the organization. I'm aware that The Hermitage used to have a labyrinth in their back yard/wooded area, though I'm unaware of this is still the case. While I'm not as active with The Hermitage as I used to be, every experience I've had has been positive, affirming, and a healing experience. While it is somewhat more challenging in a wheelchair, everyone I've ever met here works hard to be as accommodating as possible and a lot of times accommodation comes down to attitude. If you're into meditation or find one of their classes appealing, I'd definitely give them a chance. You can also check out their brand new website as soon as Yelp updates to include it. It's MUCH nicer than it used to be and has a wealth of great information on it.

I've participated with the Art of Living for a long time. I have reaped the benefits of these…read moreprograms for years, so much so that I became an instructor back when I lived in California. I first took a class when I was in college. There was a guy in one of my classes who positively glowed. You could tell that something good was going on with him. He was positive and serene and energetic all at the same time. And I thought hey, I wouldn't mind having some mojo like that. On his recommendation I took the Art of Living Course and learned Sudarshan Kriya, a breathing practice which my friend had learned. And you know what? I really felt different. I had more energy. More focus. More perspective. And I slept like a baby. I have been doing it almost every day since then. I moved to Indianapolis a few months ago and am thrilled that there's an Art of Living center here. In addition to the Art of Living Course they offer free hour-long yoga and meditation sessions on Wednesday evenings and Saturday late afternoons as part of their "Creating a Stress-Free Indiana" campaign. Highly recommended.

THR has a very diverse base of instructors and they are keen on training more instructors, basically a grassroots movement to build a flywheel of group fitness in Indy.

I purchased a two-week unlimited intro pass and had a sudden family emergency the same day as my first class that required me to leave the country. I returned 13 days later, meaning there was only one day left on my two-week pass. I explained this to the front desk and asked if there was any way to extend or honor the original trial period, since I wasn't able to use it due to circumstances completely out of my control. I was only offered options that would require me to make an additional payment, and when I followed up explaining my disappointment and asking if there was any flexibility, I never received a response. Considering this is a yoga studio, I expected more understanding, compassion, and accommodation in a situation involving a family emergency. Overall, the lack of communication and empathy overshadowed the experience.
