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!

In Bloomington for the weekend and decided to check out this studio. Located in a strip, little…read moredifficult to find in the dark morning time. Walked into a very inviting space. 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.

I was in town for 4 days and wanted to check out a yoga studio in Bloomington. We ended up…read moreattending the yoga nidra class. It was very relaxing. The teacher offered pranayama as well as self facial and overall body massage prior to the actual time of yoga nidra. That was beneficial. I really liked the teachers style. Her name was Leeyla (sp?) I would definitely take another class here if in town.

This small studio is filled with positive energy--it's the place where I came to appreciate, and…read morethen love, different types of Yoga. 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.

This place located in a strip mall of businesses open from 10a-10p offered several self-care and self-nurturing services. I loved my 60 minute float and the 30-minute sauna!!

They have added heated neck wraps for you when you arrive which even in this summer heat is amazing! Emily is my constant go to, she listens and focuses on the areas that I want her to target, and her technique is stellar. I have had multiple major spine surgeries, I have 3 artificial joints, and lots of hardware implanted throughout my body so when I need a massage, I really need a massage. If you want a spa with a professional atmosphere and highly skilled therapists you cannot beat That's the Rub!

Some massage therapists are very knowledgeable and treat you based on what you want, while others…read moredo what they think is best without really listening to you. They also vary in timing, you can pay for 90 mins and some therapists will get done in 80, others 85, but never the full reserved time in my experience. Im not very outspoken so it sucks when you're paying $120 (not including the tip....) and leaving the place not completely happy/feeling relaxed. There are other spots in town that offer more consistent services (and for much more reasonable prices compared to here). One pro is that this establishment is more professional seeming (announce they're washing hands before/after, give you water and go over some at home exercises to do in between sessions), so not all terrible, just not worth it (imo) for the price. I've tried 4 different therapists here (in my 5 years living in Bloomington) and Tanya G seems to be their best (I never tried Amber but heard good things abut her). Lastly, this one is probably a minor "complaint" and totally not related to the therapists but in one of my last times I was there, as I was waiting to check out/pay, I overheard the front desk receptionist tell the lady in front of me "people typically tip 20%, thats what is usually acceptable" after the lady had said "ooh and tip too" and it made me feel inclined to tip over $20 on a not so great service to begin with (I used to tip $10 there). I don't love this recent culture of pressurizing customers to tip (especially when you're charging premium prices).
