The Playful Soul

Yoga! Lily Mack is hilarious and studied yoga in Thailand. Her classes are absolutely great. She offers a community yoga class on Thursday mornings. Only $ 5. Seriously, check it out! In the heart of Broad Ripple.

Where else in Indy can you shop for a gift, stock up on incense, take a chakra workshop, do some downward-​facing dog and eat a vegan meal next door? No. Freaking. Where. It’s about time a place catered to my inner hippie in a one stop shop.
I went in looking for a particular type of incense that is made on the island of Bali. They did not have what I was looking for, but I did spy a few things I may consider buying in the future for a meditation room. Those items would include prayer flags, Buddhist related wall-​hangings, essential oils and healing crystals.
Below is a list of a few things I wish they had… or rather, I don’t know if they had because the girl at the counter was rather busy talking to the person that sells the crystals to the store. (Letting this slide, but next time… just a ‘hello, I’ll be with ya soon!’ would be so nice!)
End of my ramble. Back to the ‘would like to see in this shop’ list:
1. Meditation cushions — zafu/​zabutons
2. Malas — bracelets and necklaces
3. Mala beads to make a bracelet and/​or necklace
I am very excited about future yoga class offerings that were advertised on a flyer. I saw the space where classes would take place and it is spacious and full of natural light. I can see myself hoping over to Ezra’s Raw & Vegan Café after a class for a cooling smoothy or juice.
