When you step inside Bodhi Salt Center, located in a modest strip mall on Sherburn Lane, the relaxation begins immediately.
Co-founded by Anna Shulgina and Dasha Grankina, Bodhi Salt Center combines salt therapies with other wellness practices like yoga, red light therapy, meditation and Ayurvedic techniques for an experience that’s sure to get you blissed out.
With all these different choices, we at LOUtoday knew we had to do our due diligence — so we tried the lot.
We started with a guided yoga class by Grankina, who has been teaching yoga for 10+ years. Her practice focuses on slow, easy movements intended to get your body open and aligned.
Bodhi Salt offers private classes for up to four people, so tell your friends. The yoga sessions are held inside a room with a salt diffusing system that infuses ionized salt into the air, allowing you to breath it in as you stretch.

💥 ‘SPARK’ it up
SPARK was funded through a $250,000 grant by the Rounsavall Foundation. | Photo via Louisville Visual Art.
The Louisville Visual Art (LVA) building in Portland is home to a new, 40-ft-tall sculpture by the Seattle-based design firm Haddad|Drugan. “SPARK” features a series of bright metal panels + clear glass tubes, which will light up the night.
It also features painted elements on the wall behind it, which were done by the regional mural collective Often Seen, Rarely Spoken — you’ve probably seen their work around town.
“SPARK” stands for Student + Professional Art Resources + Knowledge, a neat summation of LVA’s mission and programming — which includes summer camps, drawing classes, and artist talks.
The new sculpture was manufactured down the street at Rockerbuilt, which designs and builds custom products from metal, glass, wood + more.
You can see the new sculpture make its debut this Thursday, Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. Members of state + local government will be present, and the SPARK will be lit after sunset.
