Karen Fox has been bringing yoga to the greater Indianapolis community since 2007 when she founded her yoga business. Characterized by hot vinyasa, slow flows and ashtanga flows, The Yoga Studio provides every yogi, beginner or advanced, a safe space to perfect their practice.
The first location in Broad Ripple was inspired by Fox’s experiences with hot vinyasa in Michigan. With temperatures reaching 95 degrees, hot vinyasa is designed to be both detoxifying and enlightening, is the signature class of The Yoga Studio and is inspired by Fox’s yoga teacher, Jonny Kest.
The class differs in other ways from traditional yoga classes. Eclectic, loud music characterizes each series of postures and many times the flows are go-at-your-own-pace.
In addition to the hot vinyasa classes, The Yoga Studio offers slow flows, a class with the same elements as hot vinyasa but a slower pace to help with strength and flexibility. Flows are often guided by teachers and postures are held longer to balance out the class.
“I am grateful for this incredible universe and every experience both pleasant and unpleasant for it has led me to this path of service: sharing yoga with as many people as I can,” Fox said on The Yoga Studio’s website.
Beginners are encouraged to read their “new students” guide on their website prior to attending class. Cancellation policies, pricing and schedules are available at indyyogastudio.com.
