I was browsing my MindBody app for a Friday evening work out and discovered Mindful Space Yoga and…read moreMeditation. An individual class is $25. They have packages and memberships. I especially dislike that the packages expire after 2 months. Too much risk and no upside for me to invest in that when I don't live in the area. If this is your first time to the studio, they are located off Foothill and San Antonio in the same plaza as Sprouts and Red Devil Pizza. I was able to fill out my waiver ahead of time on the app, or you can come early and sign your waiver at the studio. On the day of my visit the receptionist greeted me. The class prior was late getting out so I got a quick tour of the studio. They had a waiting lobby area in front, cubbies and bathroom in the back. I like the the studio space is separated by doors so there is a more peaceful ambiance for the classes as others come and go. I took the Restorative Yoga for Healing with Debbie. I brought my own blanket to be cozy in restorative poses cause I am allergic to wool blankets and sure enough this place has wool blankets. They also have bolsters and bricks for you to borrow. This restorative class had students against the wall for some legs up the wall poses. I really liked Debbie's instructions. She was good with the emphasis on breathwork and reminding us to breath throughout the class. The poses were very restful and relaxing. Here's my issue though. The class description on the mind body app talks about Reiki. I attached the screenshot with my review. I expected reiki coming into this class. I even had a conversation with the receptionist about reiki. So during the first few poses I was surprised the instructor wasn't coming around at all. Then I thought maybe she's going to do it all at the end during our shavasana... but nothing. What the heck... This feeling is like I paid for a garlic shrimp and got a tasty shrimp dish with no garlic flavor. Like THIS ISN'T WHAT I PAID FOR. This is no offense to Debbie but this is a management flaw. Update your information if it's changed. There are a lot of other restorative classes on Friday evenings in the area and the other ones even provide optional aroma therapy to deepen the stress relief. I liked the class fine but I don't like not getting the service I paid for. That's called false advertisement. I should have left feeling super relax but I left feeling super annoyed about the lacking reiki service I expected coming to this class. Also the promise of the reiki is the reason why I booked this class over other restorative yoga classes that were cheaper. I feel pretty bamboozled!

Thank you for blocking me and banning me from my online courses and the studio to finish my hours…read more Not like I'll miss it. Your yoga classes are same and mundane and I don't want to be taught by a recent graduate of your studio ur perhaps a student in training. I reinjured my back injury and you couldn't care less. You refused to give me a refund for being dissatisfied with your yoga training course. It's obvious you can't handle criticism. Perhaps you should adapt to the HIPPA medical law concept and not talk about your students or even your current clients in your yoga teacher courses. Shameful. No, you're not a true yogi that you think you are. Revisit your own teachings! Max

Customer service. We came in early for our appointment as a couple. We were scheduled for the…read moreoxygen chairs and then the salt cave. Everything was fine until the salt cave. They weren't prepared for the amount of people scheduled to be in the room. They were short one chair for my husband. My hubby and I waited patiently outside the room for them to bring him a chair while everyone else went in. By the time they set up his chair, everyone was already lying down in their chairs with their blankets and eyes closed. My husband's chair was placed in the back of the room right under the fountain light. Before I had a chance to say something, they announced, we will be closing the door and shutting off the lights. Therefore, I didn't say anything, assuming this would include the fountain light my hubby was under. It wasn't. His light remained on. He tried his best to use the blanket he grabbed to cover his eyes from the brightness. I couldn't enjoy my own experience knowing he was placed in such an awkward position in the room. Once the session was over, I kindly asked the staff member to stay back so I can show her that his chair was placed right under the light in an awkward corner of the room. She immediately said, well you could have moved the chair around. We actually couldn't have based on the size of the room and them bringing us in at a later time, when everyone was already laying down in their chairs with their blankets. Overall, I tried to voice our disappointment with the experience in a respectful and discreet way. The employee became defensive instead of listening to our concerns. She chose to argue back. The employee finally said sorry once we were at the check out counter in-front of everyone, making it more awkward for me & my husband. We paid everything in advance, and when we were trying to leave, she stopped us and said she needed to check we were good to go. Making us stay there longer, just waiting. We don't recommend this place due to the customer service. They only offered a 50 discount for a future experience with an expiration date. We don't plan to come back.

Sonia was firm, demanding yet so knowledgeable and deft in her command of the room. Although a beginner I switched to her rather demanding classes. I had no idea what Iyengar was but now I am a huge huge fan. Hers is a master class, many experts and teachers attend it along with groundlings like me. I have made a lot of progress under her tutelage, now able to do decent head stands. I attend three of her four classes each week. Luckily the teacher and the style both resonate with me. Iyengar as taught by Sonia is very challenging for me yet satisfying. It leaves me feeling centered and grounded. The community is great. Everyone is dedicated to the practice and is an excellent example of how a yogi should be.

As a Buddhist of the Thai Theravada tradition, I was excited when I first thought I could attend…read moredharma talks by legit Thai monks here in CA. When I looked into visiting, it was quite odd to me that the website was asking me to pay to reserve a seat before ever even going. This struck me as odd. Only a bit of investigation was needed before I quickly learned this is a cult with tremendous wealth and power. Rather than accepting "Dana," a contribution made of generosity in Buddhism, where no one is turned away due to a lack of funds to meditate, they specifically charge and further proclaim, the more you donate, the 'better your merit. Be careful if you get involved with this group. They advocate for materialism and wealth, which is absolutely not in alignment with the ancient teachings of the Buddha. In fact, his views were *the very opposite*.

It left me feeling grounded, naturally elated, and connected. Loved the message that the monk gave where he emphasized on world peace through cultivating inner peace. Also, loved how he reminded us not to force our thoughts away, but to relax and release into the experience that arises. Thank you so much for such a blessing! Also, the grounds are beautiful! I enjoyed and loved walking in the garden! The staff was also nice and kind as well! 10/10 will come back again for another free collective meditation event!
