This is a follow up review. I've read almost every Qigong book out there, watched all the youtubes,…read moreand have learned Qigong from multiple instructors in group classes. These all had some benefit, mostly relaxation. But none of these teachings offered me a true sense of Qi cultivation and most importantly actual noticeable health benefits. Asthma, anxiety attacks and back problems are no longer issues Im plagued with. Since learning Nei Dan meditation from Mindful Qigong. The thing that I did not realize is Qigong is a way of life not just a tool. What separates Mindful Qigong is it's a lineage based teaching. That teaches all aspects of the Dao, Qigong, philosophy, TCM, tea ceremony.... in private classes. This allowed me to understand the subtleties of the teaching in a way I could incorporate in my daily life. Leading to substantial results. Mindful Qigong focuses on cultivating your Qi internally and has little to do with breathing exercises or complicated movements. Honestly some of the techniques I thought were weird in the beginning. But that had more to do with my expectations of what Qigong was from my previous experience. As well as a lack of understanding of the basic fundamentals of real Qigong and TCM. Thankfully I stuck with it over the years. Just like anything really worth doing it takes time and energy. My life is much smoother, healthier and happier. Im truly grateful.

I'm very grateful to have found Qigong. I have been a "traditional" meditator for many years…read more After only a few months at Mindful QiGong my practice has expanded in ways I didn't think possible. I highly recommend this practice.

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.

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 done gentle flow and more vinyasa style on separate occasions and always felt like the teacher was attentive to each person there, yet I was getting exactly what I needed! The prenatal yoga is probably the best in town. And I say probably because I was so fulfilled each class, I never felt the need to go anywhere else. Lori Fenner leads an amazing class that helps momma and baby connect in such a powerful and unique way. My recovery since childbirth has been great because of the combination of prenatal yoga and all of the acupuncture Amy Arreygue was providing during the last two months of my pregnancy. I went weekly and swore by it. Helped so much with the anxiety of the last hump before the baby arrives. I always feel so peaceful leaving her office. She is knowledgable on integrating healthy habits into your daily life (diet, stretching, qi gong, etc). Shelby Snyder is also an amazing therapist there. Her massages send you into another world. When you come back to earth, your body feels so refreshed and taken care of. She is very attentive and intuitive to the needs of her clients. She is one of the only therapists my husband has felt comfortable with and enjoyed the massage. To sum it up, this place is the business! Super friendly and positive. Their involvement in their immediate community of clients/friends and the greater parts of Modesto is highly important to them. It's great to k ow this place exists with their progressive styles of treatment. I have not seen every therapist there, but I imagine they are on the level of excellence because of how cohesive this wonderful center is!

We also teach the 8 Brocade Qigong Set, one of the most widely practiced Qigong form around the world. We strive for quality Tai Chi instruction that motivates and inspires and that continuously sparks the students’ love & enthusiasm for learning the art while also helping students develop awareness of the inherent spiritual and physical health principles of Tai Chi Chuan that when applied to daily life can bring balance, harmony and a deep feeling of connectedness and positive energy as well as improving overall fitness, flexibility and general health.

Perfect for women who can never out muscle a larger opponent, but instead need to rely on strategy to gain an advantage. At the intermediate level you start learning weapons and forms, but nothing is taught without a complimentary practical application soon to follow. It's a very versatile and wholistic system. If you're taking the online classes, Sifu Tav engages with you through the screen, makes personalized corrections, and has been building up a library of fantastic instructional videos that are easy to follow. I've been studying with him for over five years and he's taken me from a very beginner to training for my black belt. I learn something new from him every class.

Prior to her treatment, I had tried OTC & Rx anti-inflammatory meds, pressure massage and icing with little relief.

Within a week of continued herbal remedies, amazingly, I was pain free. I am continuing tx with Cynthia for nutritional counseling/healing for relief of pre-existing and long standing digestive and body system imbalances and expect great results. We have an established professional relationship dating back to 2008 when she successfully treated my husband's plantar fasciitis after he was unable to get relief/results from conventional MD's/methods.
