Move. Breathe Salt Air. Reset.

Every Halo-Yoga class takes place inside Bodhi’s salt room, where a medical-grade halogenerator fills the air with pharmaceutical-grade dry salt aerosol throughout the entire session. The deeper you breathe during class, the more salt particles reach your airways. You’re getting a full yoga class and a full halotherapy session at the same time.

Halo-Yoga

Breath-led flow combining movement and breathwork. Builds strength and calm in equal measure.

Restorative

Gentle, supported poses held for longer. Deep relaxation and nervous system recovery. Minimal effort, maximum release.

Slow Flow

A gentler-paced flow that’s accessible to everyone. Movement at a pace where your breath stays easy.

Trauma-informed & anatomy-based · Prenatal & postpartum welcome · Unlimited for members

What to Expect

Your first Halo-Yoga class, step by step.

Arrive and settle in

Wear comfortable clothes you can move in — the same thing you’d wear to any yoga class. We provide mats and props. The salt room has soft lighting, warm tones, and the halogenerator is already running when you walk in. You’ll notice the air feels cleaner and slightly mineral.

Just bring yourself and a water bottle

Dasha guides the class

Every class is led by Dasha, Bodhi’s co-founder and a certified yoga and pranayama (breathwork) instructor with over a decade of teaching experience. Her approach is trauma-informed and anatomy-based — she meets you where you are, not where she thinks you should be. Modifications are always offered. Nobody is left behind.

All levels, all bodies, all life stages

Move and breathe for sixty minutes

The class combines movement and breathwork at whatever pace matches the style — flowing in Halo-Yoga, gentle and supported in Restorative, deliberately paced in Slow Flow. Throughout the session, the halogenerator keeps filling the room with salt aerosol. The deeper your breathing gets during class, the more therapeutic benefit you receive from the salt air.

Leave feeling different

Most people notice two things: their breathing feels more open, and their mind feels quieter. The yoga calms your nervous system. The salt air clears your respiratory passages. Together, the effect is something you don’t get from yoga alone or halotherapy alone. Many regulars say it’s become the highlight of their week.

Why Yoga + Salt Air Works

Yoga and breathwork naturally deepen your respiration — you take fuller, slower breaths as the practice progresses. In a regular studio, that means more air. In Bodhi’s salt room, it means more therapeutic salt particles reaching deep into your respiratory system with every breath. The halogenerator disperses pharmaceutical-grade dry salt aerosol throughout the session, and the deeper your breathing pattern becomes during class, the more effectively those particles travel into your bronchial passages and lungs.

The yoga itself activates the parasympathetic nervous system — the “rest and restore” branch responsible for recovery, digestion, and calm. Combined with the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties of the salt aerosol, the result is a session that simultaneously builds physical strength, calms the nervous system, and supports respiratory health. Neither modality alone delivers what the combination does.

Breathwork & Halotherapy

Pranayama (yogic breathwork) has been shown to increase tidal volume — the amount of air moved in and out of the lungs with each breath. In a halotherapy environment, this increased tidal volume directly translates to greater salt particle deposition in the airways. The salt particles, ranging from 1–5 microns, are small enough to reach the deepest alveoli in the lungs, where they exert their anti-inflammatory and mucolytic (mucus-thinning) effects. Research on halotherapy has demonstrated benefits for allergic rhinitis, chronic bronchitis, and upper respiratory inflammation — conditions that are particularly common in Louisville due to the region’s high pollen counts.

Nervous System Regulation

Yoga’s most well-documented physiological effect is its impact on the autonomic nervous system. Slow, breath-led movement stimulates the vagus nerve, which activates the parasympathetic (calming) branch and reduces sympathetic (stress) activation. This shift lowers cortisol levels, reduces heart rate, improves heart rate variability, and promotes a state of recovery. For people carrying chronic stress, anxiety, or burnout, a regular yoga practice creates a measurable shift in baseline nervous system tone over time. Dasha’s trauma-informed approach is specifically designed to support this nervous system regulation without pushing students beyond their capacity.

The Combination Effect

Salt therapy addresses the respiratory system. Yoga addresses the nervous system and musculoskeletal system. When practiced together, the two modalities amplify each other. The relaxation response from yoga makes the airways more receptive to the salt particles (relaxed airways are more open). The clearer breathing from halotherapy makes the breathwork more effective (less nasal obstruction means deeper pranayama). This positive feedback loop is why many Halo-Yoga regulars report effects that exceed what they experienced from yoga or salt therapy alone.

Who Benefits Most

Halo-Yoga is particularly beneficial for people managing stress, anxiety, or burnout who want both physical movement and respiratory support. It’s ideal for those who find traditional yoga studios intimidating (Dasha’s inclusive, all-levels approach and small class sizes remove the pressure). People with seasonal allergies benefit from the respiratory component. Those recovering from injury, surgery, or navigating prenatal or postpartum changes benefit from Dasha’s anatomy-based modifications. And for anyone curious about Bodhi but hesitant to try an unfamiliar modality, Halo-Yoga is the most accessible starting point — yoga is familiar, the price is low, and the salt therapy is built in.

Common Questions

Not at all. Every class is designed for all levels. Dasha offers modifications for every pose and her teaching approach is trauma-informed and anatomy-based — she meets you where you are. Complete beginners, experienced practitioners, prenatal, postpartum, and people navigating recovery are all welcome.
Halo-Yoga is a breath-led flow — active movement synced to your breathing. Restorative uses gentle, supported poses held for longer — minimal effort, deep relaxation. Slow Flow is a gentler-paced flow accessible to everyone. All three take place in the salt room with the halogenerator running. If you’re not sure which to try, Restorative is the gentlest starting point.
Wear comfortable clothes you can move in — the same as any yoga class. We provide mats and props. Just bring a water bottle. No special shoes or equipment needed.
Yes. The halogenerator runs throughout the entire class. Deeper breathing during yoga means more salt particles reach your airways — the yoga actually makes the halotherapy more effective. You’re getting a full salt therapy session while you practice.
A private session is one-on-one with Dasha, designed entirely around your body, your pace, and your wellness goals. She’ll tailor every element to your needs — whether that’s working around an injury, building a specific skill, or simply practicing in a private setting. Couples sessions ($129) are the same personalized experience for two people.
Once a week is a great starting rhythm. Both yoga and halotherapy deliver stronger benefits with consistency. Many of our regulars come weekly and notice cumulative improvements in flexibility, breathing, and stress levels over the first month.
