Mediation has good health benefits and it just helps to turn off the negative thoughts and feelings. I recommend everyone to try this out! I think you'll be surprised at how you feel after.

The space is Beautiful, welcoming and the community is like no other that I have experienced. Lindsey is truly passionate about bringing healing to every single person she crosses paths with, upon meeting her instantly you can feel this is her purpose in life. You immediately have the feeling that this is not a financial adventure as much as just wanting to bring healing to the people of San Diego! Suzanne is another facilitator at A Deep Space that has the same heart in wanting true healing for all. Katie is the administrator she is super responsive and helpful if you need anything as far as scheduling, billing etc. I will always be Thankful that I discovered this practice and I that am a part of the A Deep Space community.

This is not your normal studio. I highly recommend. I am sure you will make a connection with amazing yogi here. The location is tucked in a corner and not visible from the street.

I then bought some wonderful items to support the temple including Buddhist bracelets, a stuffed Lunar New Year horse, and some Buddhist ornaments (maybe thats what they are called). Met a wonderful sister who volunteered with the temple and other temple goers today. Also had a lovely vegetarian lunch with new friends and Buddhist practitioners. I feel very blessed on this 1st day of the Lunar New Year 2026 to spend it here. Thank you for making my heart full and happy.

I will definitely return and I'd like to make it more of a habit to visit the studio. Plus, there's a great smoothie shop next-door and tasty coffee available at the brewery just down the street!
