If you've never incorporated regular meditation into your yoga, start now - as it is one of the original 8 limbs. RE: owner Andrea - despite my being from out of town, she was warm, friendly, frank, helpful - and very knowledgeable of yoga, anatomy, health. I felt safe entrusting myself, my body into her sequencing. I'm no expert on Yin Yoga, but what I experienced was true to the style of Sarah Powers. I don't think it's a coincidence. Look carefully at the photos in the back of the studio and you'll find one of Sarah and Andrea (!) My ostensible reason for visiting was her David Williams workshop. The workshop ran for four days at a price I could afford. Although the other participants expressed shock and surprise I traveled so far, truth is - what I did wasn't even half so radical as David traveling to India to learn from Patabhi Jois, lol. I'm impressed and eternally grateful that a urban boutique size studio would host a teacher of this caliber. The gathering was intimate - not like those huge, impersonal yoga fests that go off like a rock music concert. The workshop was reasonably priced, the studio has ample parking and the general vibe is clean, well supplied with props, teas, water and goodies were available just like an olde time 70s yoga get together. I had so much fun at the workshop I decided to stay and take a couple of classes from Andrea herself and I was not disappointed. Here's the thing, in order to totally transform you have to let go. Letting go is scary, so you better trust the person you are dropping down to catch you. you can take that literally or metaphorically, take your pick. Alls I'm saying is, here I felt free to go. :)

The studio is small and personal enough to ask questions and be actively involved in the practice (not just atomatons copying the instructor), but I have never felt over crowded. You are truely challenged, you will sweat (and it isn't even hot yoga), and you will not get sleepy. Another great option is you can pay by class instead of by time period. I can get a package of 6 or 10 classes that don't expire for 90 days! For the business traveler like myself that can't get thier money out of a monthly membership this is perfect. And did I say the yoga is amazing?

The studio has the largest inventory of equipment I have ever seen, and it was very neatly organized so items were easy to find and to put away. I also liked that care was taken to keep things sanitary (a hand towel to put between your face and a bolster, a tissue to go between your eyes and the eye pillow). The class was taught by Felicia and it was wonderful. She explained everything in such a clear manner and her cueing was impeccable. The class was so relaxing and refreshing, and I learned some new poses to add to my home practice.

I had no idea what to expect, and she quickly reassured me that my reaction was very common and offered advice to help me feel at ease. I curled up in a comfy blanket with tissues in hand as I prepared for the messages to arrive... I instantly was able to receive heart felt communication from my loved ones that had passed over. It brought tears to my eyes! It was so descriptive and so authentic. She was spot on about the craziest details! Along the way, I was addressed by my angels and spirit guides who provided insight into my life's work. Such a gift! Luckily for me, she suggested that I record the session so that I could listen over and over as well as share information with those in my life that were also given messages! If you've never had a reading, you should! And Kendall is the medium for you. It's the warmest, soulful experience! I had no idea what to expect, but it was perfection! I know that this session will be my first of many as I seek guidance and answered questions about my life!

Both were life changing and very healing! She has such a way of delivering messages that is very calming and encouraging as well as crazy accurate. The things that she told me would happen that actually happened are too numerous to count! I would highly recommend the Integral Soul Healing because it is far from traditional cookie cutter therapy. She customizes the session based on your needs and what is going on in your life and no two visits are the same. Even though it wasn't always easy, it was always beneficial for me and I left with insights and tools that will help me for the rest of my life. I love that she genuinely cares about your journey and has such a gift for knowing how best to help you. I know that I am forever changed because of her and am so grateful that I found her! She isn't just a medium, she is a soul healer!

I take yoga on Tuesdays at Grace Cathedral (http://www.yelp.com/biz/yoga-on-the-labyrinth-san-francisco#hrid:160f3GiKVjbIKH0WFJjwmQ/src:self) where Chris is a regular music guest, and occasional sub for Darren. Last week was one of those weeks where Chris subbed in. The experience of doing yoga with hundreds of people in a cathedral is always awe-inspiring. Chris' lesson aided in raising that energy to a place I have never experienced. My practice felt out of body. I was overwhelmed by the amount of ease in my postures, a lift that felt absolutely effortless. Chris is a gifted teacher.

All You Need is Love…read more Christopher Love. Back when I was a wee little yogini, I discovered my need/love of yoga through this gifted teacher. We rarely chatted, but he would magically bring up a topic at the beginning of class that was personally timely for me and then spin it through a perspective that was so damn smart and positive ... I mean, people - it was LIKE, he really KNEW me, you know? (tears of joy) I would leave his classes all dewy and blissed out. He busted out with a challenging vinyasa, but always dispensed succinct instruction with a strong, calm voice. It's the kind of voice you want to follow you around all day. He left his post at Yoga Tree at the end of '07, I think. And I was sad. Now, after a hiatus of something like a year or so, he's back in action, only at a different studio - Mission Yoga's glorious Sun Room (20th and Mission) *** "Power Slow" Fridays at 6pm Sundays at 9am.*** These days it seems like his style of vinyasa has mellowed a bit, but he will still kick your ass if you ask nicely. :) What I love about these new classes: - World-class teacher who isn't a megalomaniacal diva = a REAL yoga teacher. - Not crowded! Woohoo! - Mellow, not competitive: people aren't all about showing off in their $90 lululemon tops doing pretzel-y moves before class. - Not hippie/culty! - Recession-friendly! By donation / Pay what you can! - He's great with taking time to answer your questions, or show you a cool pose that will help you with your general everyday issues. Christopher Love is the bomb diggity, y'all. And I hear he's a great counselor/therapist as well.

Hi I would like to address Sandy H of the JUNE 30, 2025 review of the Silent Meditation Retreat. In…read moreit she headed it with: "it's Cult, STAY AWAY". LOL She also stated "...we noticed a level of unquestioning reverence for the AOL founder that felt more like cultish devotion than the pursuit of wisdom". And "...In our view, AOL does not represent a genuine path toward spiritual growth. For those seeking meaningful insight, authors like Alan Watts..." etc. I've been on this spiritual path for 50 years! yeah forever! hahahha - and I love Alan Watts and Ramana Maharishi and some of the other great Advaita teachers and lectures. And after 30 years of meditation and even teaching meditation, I also took the "Silent Retreat Course" several time and frankly - IT CHANGED MY LIFE. I FINALLY GOT WHAT SILENCE ACTUALLY MEANT. As far as it being a cult - Well everything can be considered a cult if one is devoted to it. Have you every been to one of those "Krishna Das cults" hahahahha? I live here on the mountain near the Retreat Center, I'm not a teacher nor a "cult member" lol. I'm just happy here with the knowledge I've gained here at the retreats. As far a Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder is concerned - Yes, he's my Guru, so was my mother. But the beauty of Sri Sri was that he (by example) showed me what SILENCE REALLY MEANT. So I would encourage people who want to come here to this beautiful retreat to remember that the PURPOSE of words, critical thinking, spiritual discourse is Silence and rejoicing in your own Being. Conversation is nice, interesting But the revelation of Silence is inner peace and true wisdom. (in my humble opinion :D ) and for sure my dogs love it here too! :D

The…read moreArt of Living Retreat Center in Boone is on a steep, uneven property and is not wheelchair-accessible, despite what you might assume from a "wellness" center. We let them know in advance we were bringing a wheelchair. Yet we received a non-accessible room, no toilet riser, and no shower chair until I asked in person. The shuttle can't take a wheelchair, the handicap parking is gravel (where my husband fell), and there's no accessible route to the dining hall or restrooms. When I explained how unsafe and disappointing this was, the staff offered no empathy--just said they were "grandfathered in" for ADA compliance and don't even offer to comp the unused night. We left early, exhausted and disheartened. I've never encountered a place so out of touch with accessibility and hospitality.
