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!

I have had the great pleasure of meeting Joy but also working with her over the course of 12 weeks…read more Now before I actually get into this review, I want to throw out a few disclaimers...Joy does NOT have a magic wand that will magically make your issues go away. Joy does NOT have the ability to do your work for you and lastly Joy does NOT by any means sell herself short on the services that she provides. Joy, you are an absolute god send. Seriously.... I have been thru various counseling all of my life but that didn't resolve my issues nor did it really give me the tools needed to actually resolve them. So since I had tried that previously and pretty much got the same result, I knew I had to try something different. So, what did I do? I went to my trusty yelp and reached out and received several responses. I had a few phone interviews because I needed to find the right person to help me thru some heavy stuff. I liked Joy right off the bat. You can simply tell by the tone in her voice that she is an angel. I signed up for 6 sessions with Joy...and after my 6th session, I signed up for 6 more. And I threw Joy some crazy challenges (nothing in my life has EVER been easy)....there were issues that she flat out told me she couldn't do anything about (I appreciate the honestly more than you know) and there were some issues where I really feel like I challenged her but guess what? SHE NEVER GAVE UP ON ME. SHE NEVER TOLD ME SHE COULDN'T WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION (again she doesn't have a magic wand). Instead what I received was far far greater than any gift...Joy gave me the tools I needed to see where my deficiencies came from and also gave me some positive insight as to how to fix the behaviors and this is something I now work on EVERY SINGLE DAY and it's made me a better person. So if you feel like you are stuck, and don't know where to go, and you have tried traditional methods (and they haven't really worked) I would seriously urge you to give Joy a call...set up and appointment and more importantly work on your (O&*%(Q*&)%(. Joy, thank you again for everything. I'll be back after tax season and I've already started a list of things to work on when I return to your place...oh and Mr. Meowghee says hello!

I've been standing outside the facility for over 15 minutes. Fly infested entrance that smells like cat liter. What a waste of time. I would rank 0 stars or neg stars if they are available. You may want to think twice before getting your massage at this place. I received phone call back four and half hours later, no apologies just yes we had you down for an appointment earlier today but we changed it to later this afternoon. Call us back to confirm. I never received any prior phone messages changing the time. Left disgusted too filthy.

REMEMBER what your grade teacher said, "Don't judge a book (or holistic center) by its cover!"…read more Please do not see or compare this center to a "spa spa" or the day spa you visited at a high-end hotel. I even read the Yelp reviews to make sure this place is legit. "The Cabin Holistic Healing Center" is true to its business name. The center provides its clients access to a sauna/spa tub (for a $10 surcharge), yoga classes, other holistic items to help calm the spirit while healing (or at least feel great) the body through massage. Yes the small facility is cabin-like, yes the front desk is cluttered with paperwork, yes there are domestic animals that appear sometimes within the cabin but all that DID NOT take away from the holistic experience I had when I used my groupon for a 1 hour deep tissue massage with the male massage therapist. Really one of the best deep tissue massages I had...the therapist read my concerns I wrote down on the client history form and used various pressure as well as stretching techniques to get deeper into my muscle to rub out the knots. Used a heating pad and hot towels to relax my muscles throughout the massage. He also asked if it was fine if he talked during the massage and was very professional about proper drapping of my body. I met with owner Louisa before and after my massage. She is an educated person who is honest and real. She never tried to push her services or sell yoga classes or products. Louisa even asked me if I have a problem with animals visiting the cabin and I told her not at all. On the side, she finds forever homes for stray animals. A woman with a gigantic heart. I'll be back for another deep tissue massage as I felt great after I left. Next time I'll try a female massuse...I heard there was a chiropractor who does acupressure for clients but I don't think I need this service yet. (Also I forgot to state that the one thing that bothered me was I can't control the hustle and noise of the busy Greenback Lane, but oh well.)
