NEW ALBANY now has its own one-stop shop
for holistic medicine and wellness in The Kula
Center, which is located at 802 E. Market St. Rob said to Carrie, “That would be a great place
for a yoga studio.” The two wanted to buy a place
instead of renting so they could gain some equity.
Kula – which means community, clan or tribe – is
a fitting name for the center, which creates a tribe
of businesses serving the New Albany community. They moved Inner Spring’s New Albany location
to The Kula Center and opened up the center to
other businesses in the holistic health industry.
Businesses include Dailey Wellness and Massage,
which offers massage, reiki, cupping, kinesio

nutrition coaching service; and the Sukhino Float
Center, which will offer floatation in salt-water
pods. Sukhino will open in June. Inner Spring
Owner Carrie Klaus has owned and operated
Inner Spring Yoga in New Albany and Jeffersonville
for five years, and now she and her husband Rob
have opened this new space.
The couple live just a few blocks from the center,

energy and that same vibe, and we’re all working
toward that same goal with our businesses at the
Kula Center.”
Carrie is also running for the New Albany
Township Advisory Board. After the 2016 election,
she began to get more politically involved and
started paying attention to ways to be more active
