I came to the Realization that when Paramahansa Yogananda arrived in Southern California 100 years ago, his mission to unite east and west changed California, and by it's influence, our nation. Juice smoothie? Originated in the store's early days. Delicious Vegetarian meals - sold at the juice bar. Yoga? Yoga overlooking the Pacific - Paramahansa Yogananda. I work to unite east and west.

There's an opportunity to sit on one of the many stone benches provided throughout the luscious well-maintained garden for meditation. I always enjoy the walking paths while listening to the birds and the koi pond while listening to the water flowing. But on a few occasions, I wish other visitors can also be in that meditative state or mode and remember to keep their conversations to a minimum once they come through the gate. This will help to maintain the tranquil environment. The meditation garden is not meant for social gatherings. Please respect those visitors who are truly there to practice mindfulness...Namaste. A definite MUST-SEE for the Yelp Community!!

As someone who is cautious about where I seek healing, I could sense that I was in the presence of a truly gifted individual. It became clear very quickly that Luisa embodies a genuine intention to heal and uplift others. During our session, Luisa took the time to listen to me without judgment, creating a safe environment where I could express the challenges I've been facing. The warmth and compassion they exuded were palpable, and it allowed me to let go of the weight I had been carrying. As the session began, I was guided through a series of grounding exercises and gentle meditations that opened a pathway to my inner self. Each moment felt like a revelation, as Luisa skillfully tuned into my energy. With intuition and expertise, they unraveled layers of emotional blockages that I had not even realized were holding me back. By the end of our time together, I felt a profound shift within me--a lifting of burdens that I thought I would carry forever. Luisa. not only facilitated a Mary Magdalene healing experience but also imparted wisdom on how to maintain balance in my life moving forward. I left with knowledge and wisdom tailored specifically for me, empowering me to continue my journey towards my highest vibration. What struck me most was the clarity and purpose that Luisa provided: an understanding that healing is not just about addressing symptoms, but about reconnecting with one's true essence. In just one session, I experienced transformation that resonated deeply, reminding me of the strength and light within myself. If you are seeking a healer who works from the heart with pure intentions, I wholeheartedly recommend Luisa. They possess a rare gift that brings liberation and hope and are dedicated to guiding you toward your authentic self.

Luisa has a gift! She is so powerful and her healing sessions are simply amazing. I have been going…read morethrough a big health scare and Luisa has helped me and supported me more than I could ever asked for. I am so grateful to have found her. Her energy is so beautiful

I've been meditating on my own for a while now, but I'm so glad I found Long Beach Meditation. I go…read moreto the Monday night class and love the instruction by Franz! My mind often wanders off so his use of the bell definitely helps me feel grounded and come home to the present. I've invited friends to join me and they all tell me how great it was for them too!! Looking forward to participating in other events!

I came here after a very big trauma in April 2019. I called ahead and spoke to someone who was very…read morekind regarding my situation and they said this was the place I should be and in the beginning I loved it. It really helped regulate my nervous system And I very much appreciated. Franz and the way he helped guide beginners. What I did not appreciate was a woman who was also a beginner and craved support on an almost competitive level. She was very much attended to and a bit of a trauma dumper. I left for a while because of her, she just kept showing up in my space, but that was my choice to leave. Fast forward to the pandemic I did try to rejoin online and I was met with that same woman who I did try to extend an Olive branch to, since she was struggling and kept "showing up". She was the same trauma dumper, yet didn't remember me. But something that came to light is that I was not allowed to join the book group that she had created. As I got better, I thought about going back in spite of this woman, but then I saw that she is part of faculty Ultimately I decided that a group that would support someone with that behavior, in the way that they did is not the right group for me. I probably should have and I thought about contacting leaders in this group, but at that time, my nervous system was not in a place to defend myself and it's somehow felt small and petty. Better to let her have her way. However, six years later, I see that this is not the Buddhist way, which is the way they follow. I was not shown loving kindness in a time when I really needed it.

I participated in a Transcendental Meditation course through the Mission Valley center years ago,…read morewhere I paid for instruction, received the opening ceremony, and attended group follow-up sessions. However, when I recently reached out for support, I was told there was no record of my instruction or payment in the TM system. This lack of accountability was deeply concerning. A global organization of this size should maintain accurate records of its students and protect them from being lost in the process. Instead, I was told that what I experienced "had nothing to do with TM," despite it taking place at their center. My hope in sharing this review is to encourage greater transparency, proper record-keeping, and accountability within the TM organization so others do not face the same dismissal or confusion.

For the price you pay, you're better off doing a $100 meditation workshop. This organization is…read morehighly money motivated. $1100 to give you "secret" mantra that can be looked up online by age and gender. Very disappointed. Hesitated writing this review for a long time but feel it's important others know. Any organization so focused on money while also claiming to be about dropping beliefs, opening up, sharing love with the world, etc might want to be more transparent and mindful themselves. The meditation is mediocre at best if you've had any experience at all. If you haven't, a couple YouTube videos will provide as much guidance and more. Plus it's free! Their weekly "checks" are NOT a meditation group. They are a constant repeat of the same material. Not worth it.

I came here for the first time last week. I initially just signed up for a "free trial class"…read more After class I spoke, Coach Johnathon he introduced me to try the 30 classes for $30. People read the fine print, it's an intro price to future memberships. Since then I tried a few different of their locations and went to different coaches. I've done CrossFit for a few years, I felt stuck in a rut, and needed to try something new. To me performance 360 is a hybrid kind of similar to CF.. but different/ better. Don't get me wrong I still have a love for CF In class we, Warm up first, Lift, and Workout Timely structures in class/group setting OB location- coach Johnathan Kenion. He's energy and coaching is amazing. Professional, personable, and enthusiastic. PB location -coach Lenny Weiner. He was so welcoming, professional, and helpful. NP location -coach Jordan Tuzon. Super nice, professional, and motivating. All three coaches were great! All with different teaching styles. I absolutely enjoyed all three coaches and locations. I'm so impressed with all three locations, coaches, and my experiences. So excited to try all of the other coaches. If you're on the fence, just try a class.
