Places in Indianapolis, IN To Relieve Your Stress & Anxiety
Immersive Sound Experiences
Sound Baths are a sensory treat for your nervous system! There is no water involved and you don’t have to “do” anything but lay down, relax and listen to the relaxing sounds made with various sized and colored “singing bowls.” It’s a great 30-60 minute experience to relax and let go of whatever stress you’re carrying.
Bring something comfy to lie on, such as a yoga mat or thick soft blanket, a pillow if you wish, and a blanket to cover up during the experience. Some people bring eye masks to cover and provide some gentle comfort for their eyes. Sarah Gardner is a master at providing a healing experience through her soothing voice and ultra-relaxing sound. A must-try!
A Place To Float
Okay, so this one DOES involve water. Float Therapy has been increasing in popularity and we have our very own spot to experience the relaxing benefits here in Indianapolis! The absence of sound, touch, and light helps remove external distractions while you float. The floating tanks include large amounts of Epsom salts to help relax muscles as well as keep you afloat during the experience.
The Garden for Everyone is a great addition that is accessible to all abilities. You can grab a bite to eat or enjoy a drink at the Garden Terrace. There is even a kids’ menu! In the summer, catching a movie shown in the Amphitheater during their Summer Nights Film Series can be a great alternative to a movie theater.
SoChatti
Like chocolate? Who doesn’t?! SoChatti is a great place to try a flight of chocolate (!!!) and you can grab a tasting set to go if you prefer to have your chocolate tasting at home. You can take their “Bean to Bag Chocolate Making Class,” a Wine & Chocolate Class, or even bring along your kids for a kid-appropriate class. SoChatti’s chocolates are vegan, non-dairy, soy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free. SoChatti is located in the Circle City Industrial Complex, which houses several spots that are worth a look.
Woodhouse Spa
The Woodhouse Spa is just down the street from SoChatti in downtown Indy. They offer the usual spa treatments such as facials and massage, but they also offer what they call “Rituals.” Be sure to check out their Meditative Mood Soak and Restorative Sleep Massage!
Indianapolis Salt Cave
If you’re looking for another unique way to relax in Indy, check out the Indianapolis Salt Cave. Salt Caves are man-made to simulate the experience of an underground salt mine. This alternative medicine uses pink salt to help promote clear breathing and assist with skin conditions. It’s a relaxing experience - bring a cozy blanket as the temperature is kept cool and humid to ensure the best air for deep and clear breathing.
