GR Zen Buddhist Temple is a very awesome space to learn about Buddhist principles and…read morelearn/practice Zen meditation, as well as connect with others who are trying to do the same. As I'm sure you've heard before, Buddhism is much less a religion as it a philosophy or more accurately, it's a continuously ongoing practice. You don't have to identify as any kind of Buddhist to attend their services (In fact, I myself don't identify as Buddhist). The community there is very diverse in age and ethnicity, and even those that come from many other spiritual/religious backgrounds. There are a handful of different priests and priestesses who come from a variety of Zen traditions. While the temple itself is rather small in size (and most Sunday mornings, they pack a full house), it's a very relaxing and clean space for meditation and service. The ambience is calm and welcoming. And after the Sunday service and meditation, there's a tea social period (sometimes with a yummy vegetarian potluck) that I enjoy very much. There are always tons of volunteer opportunities within and outside the Temple and plenty of community engagement opportunities. I've not been attending this temple for very long, but I now try to at least make it to the Sunday morning service every week and have attended some of the other meditation lessons that they offer on other days of the week, which has proven to be very fruitful for my meditation progress. They have been a fantastic resource in that regard, but the lessons in Buddhism and engagement with serious meditation practitioners have also been extremely helpful to me. p.s. Little Buddhas are welcome too. During the 10am Sunday service, the kids are taken care of/given Buddhism lessons by one of the monks or nuns in a separate area of the Temple.

Because I am a yoga instructor, I felt like I already had a reasonable grasp of meditation, but I participated fully and with an open mind to see what it was like. The deeper understanding of stress and how to relate to it differently has been life-changing.

I have also taken the Self-Compassion for Beginners workshop and the Building Mindful Connection course, and I can't wait to take another class!

I attended once a week, going to both April and Carol's evening class as my schedule changed often. Both April and carol were wonderful, patient teachers of the class, helping a meditation novice like myself, grow and develop in practice. The MBSR curriculum itself is challenging yet stimulating and I can say that I've changed for the better from the homework and lessons. I feel like I do live more in the present with less anxiety, increased creativity, calmer disposition, and greater awareness of my emotions and thoughts. I would recommend a MBSR class from either Carol or April to anyone. Grand Rapids Mindfulness Center also brings in various authors and speakers on the topic of mindfulness and meditation in addition to yoga and meditation sessions for those already practicing. They are based out of Expressions of Grace Yoga Studio on Northland Drive Grand Rapids but they offer the MBSR courses throughout the city. .

The Buti classes are fun and so unique. The candlelit classes provide such a cool atmosphere. Yoga Nidra is a truly out of body meditative experience. They also have workshops throughout the month which aren't included in a monthly membership but with the membership you do get a discount on these! I would love to try the sound bath one day but they are always booked up so quickly. Which must be an indicator that these are phenomenal. I started off with the New Student Special: 30 Days for $35 and went almost every day. This is a great deal if you want to try Kula out first. I now have the monthly membership which comes with some really cool perks like 15% off floats at phlot GR and a once a month guest pass to bring a friend for a class. Maybe one day i'll get my boyfriend to try it out! If you have questions about the membership options the website is helpful and all the instructors are super happy to answer any of those questions. I know I get nervous about going to places for the first time but those nerves were quickly settled once I entered Kula. The instructor checking you in will let you know everything you need to know before heading up. So take that leap of faith and try something new. Maybe I'll see you there. :) (Oh and no phones inside the rooms! Thank you Byron for letting me snap these quick pics for my review!)

My prayer life and quiet time with God and my Savior was very deep. This was on a daily basis. Since then I have dropped all my involvement at Church. I can no longer enjoy quiet time as it reminds of how the Holy Spirit and Trinity was abused by this "person of faith". Adoration that once was important to me is no longer a part of my life.

The studio is large and has its own parking lot, which is really nice.

Almost two years ago I took my first Power Hour. My personal style of working out is high intensity, blood, sweat and tears. If you were to ask me if I could receive that experience in a yoga setting- I would simply tell you no. However, who knew that stretching areas your body are YELLING at you to be stretched could be just as hard if not harder than any HIIT or strength training class. My views on yoga have forever been changed...I now will smile proudly when graced with the "yogi" title. ") The funky teachers and assistants rock- to put it simply. They recognize you by name, ask how your day is going and challenge you by holding wheel poses longer than you think you can....but little did you know...you can. ") ((((S/O to Katie))))) Always inspiring, engaging and creating the best possible experience. If ya'll ain't haven't got a funky flow in yet....do it and change your life. It will change your view on yoga forever. read more

I had an amazing experience at Funky Buddha in Eastown! Attending their free yoga day class was a fantastic way to get a taste of what they offer. The Power Flow class I tried was absolutely incredible, especially for someone like me who loves hot yoga. The heat really helped relax my muscles and enhance the overall experience. What truly stood out was the instructor's attentiveness. They would circulate during the class, ensuring everyone's form was correct. If they noticed any misalignment, they would offer gentle guidance to make sure we were doing the poses correctly. This personalized touch added so much value to the class. The session was incredibly relaxing, yet it still provided an excellent workout. I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Funky Buddha and wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow yogis or anyone looking to give yoga a try. read more

There are so many great things that I can say about Funky Buddha, but I will try not to be too long winded. THIS PLACE IS LIFE CHANGING! The teachers, assistants, front desk, fellow students, EVERYONE make me want to be there everyday. This practice is amazing and the teachers do such a great job of using cues that make sense even for someone who has practiced hundreds of times or if it's their first class. The classes can be as challenging as you make them and then again, you can turn any pose into what works for you based on how you're feeling. I have become so much stronger than I ever thought I could be, physically and mentally! Everyone who works there is genuinely happy and seem to really love what they do. That is contagious in itself. If you are in the area, do not miss an opportunity to practice here! read more

I love how warm and excited the teachers and assistant teachers are to each student, to help them grow their practice and see the light in each other. For some people trying new pathways is a very challenging experience especially when you think everyone will judge you and I can honestly say that at Funky Buddha its the opposite everyone is family whether you have 1 class or 1000 classes under your belt. I am excited to share my stories with family and friends and urge them to join me for a class because this studio and the yoga they teach are life changing. read more

While I certainly understand why someone would like hot yoga, especially if you are inflexible, it was not my bag. The temperature is not good for someone with low blood pressure. Everytime I took a sip of water, the instructor made a comment about it, which made me feel uncomfortable. The studio is adorable, clean and bright...but there is no restroom. In fact, you need to borrow a key and go down the hall, which can be inconvenient. I felt that there was really no instruction on how to go into poses, which can be a problem if you are unfamiliar to the pose, as well as potentially dangerous. read more

To my surprise, I really enjoyed the heat! I have been practicing yoga on and off now for about 8 years but I had never taken a hot yoga class before I went to the Funky Buddha.

Nate and I arrived just before 7 and were welcomed by Kate, one of the lead yoga instructors. The space is clean and new, and they have a fancy water bottle filler with purified, cold water. YogaSix at Knapp's Crossing is a franchise of the chain YogaSix, which is owned by Xponential Fitness. In my experience with these types of chain studios they definitely seem pretty sales-y and wanting you to sign up for their membership before they even open. I prefer to support smaller, local teachers and studios but wanted to check this spot out. I think one draw of this type of studio is that they can offer more variety in classes (they have 6 types) and more class times. I didn't realize that the slow flow class would be heated, which is not my preference. It was about 85 degrees, so not "hot" yoga, but still warmer than I'd prefer. I also really dislike yoga studios with huge mirrors, so I just placed my mat behind someone so I couldn't see the mirror. The class itself was what I would consider a classic vinyasa with some longer held postures, not really what I envision as a true "slow flow," but I enjoyed it. I felt good afterwards, and would be interested in checking out some of the other class types in the future.

Although some can be dreadful but no pain, no gain ;) I enjoy the variety of workouts with the constant soreness and strengthening of muscles. Classes are an hour long but feels like 10min every time because of the variety of techniques and strength work packed into each class. I've never been the athletic type and the gym always intimidated me. But with crossfit I feel comfortable even with my physical level. Try something new and give it a shot!

I've never enjoyed physical activity. Running was about the only thing I could force myself to do…read moreand that got boring fast. Crossfit has been the first exercise that I don't dread doing. In fact I actually look forward to each workout. It's fun, many varied, and I see results! When I say I see results, I am referring to my muscle tone as well as my physical capabilities. Progress becomes addicting. Jeff and Bobby are the owners/coaches and they are the coolest. They are probably the main reason I have been able to look forward coming in and enjoying working out. They are patient and quick to critique your form when it needs it so you get optimal performance. Not to mention they are just very easy going, decent guys. They know their stuff and you can't help but trust them because their directions give great results. I highly recommend Friction Crossfit. No matter what physical level you are at you will fit in and not feel intimidated. It's a good community here. Try it!
