Shambhala L. of Shambhala Meditation Center - Los Angeles Business Owner Hi, We have closed all our locations in Los Angeles but continue to meet online.

Thankfully, I came across Blue Lotus Rising. Stacey was warm & friendly & explained the differences between Swedish & therapeutic massages. I opted for the later & while some portions were a tad uncomfortable, I knew they'd be effective & I was right! After my session, I felt like a piece of cooked spaghetti...very relaxed & relieved. Later that evening, I don't even remember falling asleep but I DO recall waking up the next morning without any pain. I also appreciated the fact that Stacey wasn't overly talkative. There were a few times wherein we'd chat but then the conversation would naturally stop, so I was able to relax & listen to the soothing music. I can't wait to book my next session!

Its full service, so you just have to show up, and your mat and props are ready to go. She also offers water, tea, and fruit. I have tried a majority of the teachers and classes. So if you are new to the studio or to yoga, then I highly recommend signing up for the one week beginner trial and trying as many classes as you can to get a feel for all the different classes and teachers. There are many teachers who I love and connect with, and to be honest their are some who's teaching styles don't speak to me. That's the beauty of this place and all the options. I did see someone leave a one star review that only took one class, and said that this place is only for beginners. I've been doing yoga for years, and have taken Flow and Power Flow classes at this studio with Faye, Chantal, and Virginia where they tried to guide you through more advanced poses/ techniques. Even in the gentle flow classes that I've taken with Faye and Darby, they give you the space to make it your own practice and go into more advanced techniques if you have them in your practice during their class. They always offer different options for everyone in class, based on their experience/ practice/ body. I also highly recommend taking breathwork with Elaine on Monday nights and the sound bath on Sunday nights, and give it a second chance if you're tried it once before. The first time, its hard to get out of your head, but once you can get present and go with the flow of what your body needs, its a great experience. I always feel lighter afterwards.
