About a year ago, my sister-in-law purchased me a generous reformer package from Invoke as a gift…read more At the time it felt like a one-off splurge to treat myself and here we are a year later and I'm still attending weekly reformer classes. Invoke has been such a blessing throughout this second pregnancy. Between the reformer classes and prenatal yoga, I feel physically better (and more prepared) than I did for my first kiddo.  I especially want to thank Rachel Weigler for the modifications she offers in her reformer classes. She is very knowledgeable in what to avoid/modifications, etc. for pregnant women and it's clear that other pregnant women have taken note as I often find that I am not the only pregnant individual in the intimate four person classes.  I'm two weeks out from baby #2 and grateful to know that "on the other side" there will be monthly "mama and me" yoga classes and postnatal pilates classes to get me back on track and feeling strong. I already have a note in the calendar to sign up once it gets closer. ;) Feeling incredibly lucky to have this studio walking distance from home in the Old Northside. PS: did I mention Mantis Massage operates under the same roof *and* that they offer prenatal massages? One stop shop!

Then, Lisa started leading us in a slow flow, and I felt like I was at home. This is an amazing yoga studio, and I'm so glad it exists here in Indianapolis. I visited Cityoga for the first time on a particularly auspicious day. It was International Day of Yoga AND the official first full day of summer! Lisa led us in a sun-related flow, with lots of sun salutations, of course. I love Lisa's style of teaching. As we were settling on our mats at the beginning of class, she started with a very brief explanation of the origin of yoga, in the area that is now India, and shared her thanks that it had made its way all the way around the globe. I really appreciated that she took the time to mention this. All throughout the class, the ideas she shared and the words she said really had an impact on me, and a couple of times, I got a little teary! I haven't cried during a yoga class since my mom died almost two years ago. I wish I could remember exactly the things she said, but I was in the present moment and lost in the flow, and her words just washed over me and settled into the cracks. I left feeling like something had shifted in me. I almost felt high! All of this sounds like hyperbole, but it's true. I've been practicing yoga daily for two years, and overall for three years, and my class at Cityoga was the best yoga class I've experienced yet! It's a bit of a drive for me, but I'm already plotting ways to make sure I fit a Cityoga class or two into my schedule each month. It is worth the drive and effort to practice in this warm and welcoming studio, and with teachers like Lisa.

For other first timers: Parking is available on the streets surrounding the studio and you can walk straight back to the studio space when you arrive (the front area is a retail space, not a check-in :)).

The slow flow classes are super nice, low-impact sessions that still have you using muscles, working up a sweat, and improving flexibility. Great for folks who work an office job all day. The instructors are all great at what they do. Sometimes they have cool lavender towels for you during shavasana which are incredible!!! The sculpt and flow classes are a more upbeat and a traditional "workout" if that's your vibe. The app makes signing up for classes very easy. I've never had a problem getting into a class, but the weekend classes in January did fill up completely though that has not been the norm in my experience. You're never alone but it's not usually packed. A note that all classes are heated at least a little bit, so prepare for that. In the winter, that's a great plus. The flow water machine is also a great amenity. They have a parking validation policy too.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE: my review of IPY concerns the new Tuesday evening class being taught inside…read moreShane Photography Studio in the Arts & Design District of Carmel. 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 :-)

Nice little studio on Winthrop, just off the hustle of the strip on 62nd in Broad Ripple. There is…read morea small parking lot on the back side; I parked a half block on down the street on Winthrop. The studio is clean and zen, not overly decorated and has a nice peaceful feel to it. They also have a small boutique space selling some higher end yoga mats, cushions, penn & beech candles, and clothing. I dont live super close, so I'm not a monthly member for classes, but I will travel for occasional workshops. i just attended a special 2 hr workshop with Katarina on restorative yin, essential oils and self acupressure therapy. This was offered in person or via zoom; I went in person. Mats were distanced and all the usual protocols in place. She was well prepared and had handouts and a personal trio of oils set for everyone. Totally informative and a great session of self care. She mentioned this particular workshop will be quarterly, with different poses, oils and pressure points each time. I would definitely sign up again. #ReviewsByRL
