  • Black History Month: Honoring Community & Looking Forward in Yoga and Wellness

    Black History Month: Honoring Community & Looking Forward in Yoga and Wellness

    As Black History Month comes to a close, we turn our attention to community—and to the path forward. Reflection, joy, healing, and rest are not meant to live in isolation. They are strengthened through relationship, shared intention, and collective care. In yoga and wellness spaces, community is not simply who practices alongside us—it is how we choose to show up for one another, now and in the future. Black history reminds us that community has always been a cornerstone of survival, resistance, and transformation. In the face of exclusion and inequity, Black communities have cultivated spaces of mutual support, creativity, spiritual grounding, and care. These traditions ....

  • Black History Month: Honoring Healing & Rest in Yoga and Wellness

    Black History Month: Honoring Healing & Rest in Yoga and Wellness

    As we continue our Black History Month reflections, we turn toward healing and rest—practices that are deeply rooted in both yoga philosophy and Black ancestral wisdom. For Black communities, rest has never been neutral. It has often been denied, delayed, or framed as something to be earned. And yet, rest has always existed as a powerful form of resistance, restoration, and survival. Healing is not linear, nor is it one-size-fits-all. In Black history and lived experience, healing has shown up in community care, spiritual practice, storytelling, prayer, movement, and moments of stillness carved out despite ongoing oppression. Rest, in this context, is not disengagement—it ....

    Valentine’s Month Self-Care: Partner Yoga, Hot Couples Flow & Shared Wellness

    Valentine’s Month Self-Care: Partner Yoga, Hot Couples Flow & Shared Wellness February tends to spotlight romance: flowers, chocolates, candlelit dinners; but at its core, Valentine’s season is really about connection . Connection with a partner, with friends, and just as importantly, with yourself. This month, we’re inviting you to rethink what self-care and love can look like by stepping onto the mat together (or solo) and experiencing wellness as a shared practice. Love Beyond the Stereotypes Self-care isn’t always bubble baths and face masks. Sometimes, it’s choosing to move your body, breathe deeply, and show up fully — even when ....

  • Black History Month: Honoring Joy, Creativity, and Expression in Yoga & Wellness

    Black History Month: Honoring Joy, Creativity, and Expression in Yoga & Wellness

    While honoring history and acknowledging harm are essential, Black History Month also invites us to celebrate something just as powerful: joy. Within Black communities, joy has always been an act of resilience, creativity, and liberation. It is woven into movement, music, storytelling, rest, laughter, and collective care. In yoga and wellness spaces, making room for Black joy is not separate from the work—it is the work. Joy and creativity are deeply embodied practices. Long before yoga entered Western studios, Black communities across the African diaspora cultivated practices of rhythm, breath, dance, and spiritual connection as ways to process grief, build strength, and express ....

  • 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. Yoga is a practice rooted in ancient South Asian spiritual traditions, yet its modern expression—particularly in Western spaces—has often centered whiteness while marginalizing or erasing the Black, Indigenous, and racially marginalized practitioners, teachers, and healers who have sustained and expanded these practices for generations. 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!
