I've had such a wonderful experience with Lotus Garden…read more I first started attending Gentle Yoga classes after a softball injury. The injury caused lower back issues and sciatica on the left side of my body. I couldn't walk for a month and a half and had to use a cane for 4-5 months thereafter. Lotus Garden has such a very intimate setting with instructors that are kind, knowledgeable and challenging. They have extra equipment on hand for newbies just learning yoga practices with a $15 drop-in fee. This place healed me and I am so grateful. I am no longer walking with a cane and my body is becoming stronger from the inside out. I now try to go 5 days a week and I'm looking forward to learning how to meditate through their free meditation classes.

Lotus Garden is a treasure trove in the Sacramento area! I…read morefeel like I've landed in a truly sacred space! Personally, I've studied yoga for about 15 years, primarily on what might be called "ashtanga" (8-fold path), and only recently have encountered a legit school of bhakti yoga. For me, bhakti is just such a direct path to my aims in ashtanga, that it's becoming obvious to me it's a "smart" investment of time. Lotus Garden is as SOLID an atmosphere for yoga as I could have possibly hoped (and honestly, way beyond my hopes!). I don't "push" this stuff, but most people would be wise to come!

Found them on ClassPass and knew it was just what the dr ordered. I took the Saturday morning class, Alexiana was the sun and she was fabulous. Everyone that worked there was also stellar! They loaned me a mat and I was off to the races! The place is a whole vibe! I love the entry and the shopping area with cool little products and gifts. I was drawn to the cutest earrings, and literally every time I wear them (and it's a lot, they've become my go to!) someone compliments them and either asks if I made them or where I got them. Every time the earrings come up I think of this place and have a nice little memory. Class was great, got the wiggles out, did some good flows and transitions and built up a little sweat. One of the regulars said it was Alexianas best class. I did note there was no music, which left me in my head more, but it was also an opportunity to work on staying present! I saw there was also another space behind our class and people were taking some kind of training. I also liked the little space between class. Seemed like a spiritual place. I can't say enough good things. Tho I love my yoga studio, I fell in love with this place. I'm glad they're in different cities and parts of the state, or I'd have a tough choice! I would love to take a class outdoors and that's my plan for the summer.

This is a follow up review. I've read almost every Qigong book out there, watched all the youtubes,…read moreand have learned Qigong from multiple instructors in group classes. These all had some benefit, mostly relaxation. But none of these teachings offered me a true sense of Qi cultivation and most importantly actual noticeable health benefits. Asthma, anxiety attacks and back problems are no longer issues Im plagued with. Since learning Nei Dan meditation from Mindful Qigong. The thing that I did not realize is Qigong is a way of life not just a tool. What separates Mindful Qigong is it's a lineage based teaching. That teaches all aspects of the Dao, Qigong, philosophy, TCM, tea ceremony.... in private classes. This allowed me to understand the subtleties of the teaching in a way I could incorporate in my daily life. Leading to substantial results. Mindful Qigong focuses on cultivating your Qi internally and has little to do with breathing exercises or complicated movements. Honestly some of the techniques I thought were weird in the beginning. But that had more to do with my expectations of what Qigong was from my previous experience. As well as a lack of understanding of the basic fundamentals of real Qigong and TCM. Thankfully I stuck with it over the years. Just like anything really worth doing it takes time and energy. My life is much smoother, healthier and happier. Im truly grateful.

I'm very grateful to have found Qigong. I have been a "traditional" meditator for many years…read more After only a few months at Mindful QiGong my practice has expanded in ways I didn't think possible. I highly recommend this practice.

I booked the cold plunge for $20 and when I arrived the staff was so welcoming. The owner was there and asked if I needed coaching for cold plunge and I said yes. Her coaching and breathing exercises made this experience 10x better. I think I stayed in there for about 3 minutes. If you do the cold plunge definitely recommend you ask for coaching. The owner was so kind and even offered me a few minutes into the red light sauna. Can't wait to be back her again.

I forgot to add they have counseling and a few classes here as well. I believe they are starting a book club soon too.
