  • Honoring Black History Month: History & Acknowledgment of BIPOC in Yoga and Wellness

    Honoring Black History Month: History & Acknowledgment of BIPOC in Yoga and Wellness

    Black History Month offers an opportunity not only to celebrate Black excellence, resilience, and cultural impact, but also to pause, reflect, and acknowledge the deeper histories that shape our present. Within the yoga and wellness community, this reflection is especially important.

This month we extend the invitation to look more ....

The BEST community, coaches, & environment. Will soon become your home away from home - and by that i mean your phone might just recognize it as "home" because of how often you are at the studio. The entire team is great but my favorite classes are with Leia. She is a wonderful manager and keeps things on track as well as helping curate the entire experience. About to hit 75 classes in 6 months and never looking back!

The Hot Room has become a place of much needed stress relief and self discovery. The staff are extremely friendly and the classes are addictively challenging. I have also had the opportunity to go on international retreats with The Hot Room which have been great value and allowed for me to form lasting friendships. Can’t say enough about the downtown studio and the management. Thank you for providing such a rewarding and formative experience for myself and all those who benefit from heated fitness.

Amazing studio & team of teachers that truly listens and cares for their students! The range of classes offered here targets a huge variety of skill; perfect for all levels of experience, including beginners and experts. During my time practicing with THR, I have especially loved the unique challenges offered to students that have pushed me far out of my comfort zone: completing outdoor classes, 6AM classes, and new-to-me classes. The teachers are smart & fun, bringing fresh music and thoughtful lessons to the studio each day. I highly recommend The Hot Room to both residents and visitors in Indy searching for health, fitness & community. Thank you so much, THR!
