this place is a Gem. I was first introduced to the center last year around August 2013, by chance,…read moreI met a young woman at a Zumba class who knew about this and invited me to explore. As soon as you walk in the center you feel like you are somewhere out of this orbit. No chaos from outside, no fake people, the energy is of peace and tranquility. Everyone there is so genuine. I've met amazing people there and all of them are very caring and compassionate. This place is where you go to recharge your spirit with positive energy, to open your eyes and become aware of all those thoughts and feelings that control you every day. I am thankful and blessed to have found this amazing place.

I started going this community of meditators on Sat mornings. They have a very friendly model where anyone is welcomed. It is donation base. They do a combination of sitting meditation, walking meditation, body scan, and mindful movements/yoga. On Wed evenings the practice has changed over the years and it truly depends on the instructor. In addition, their website allows you do download meditation practices to follow at home. Really friendly community, a good place to go if you are a new meditator or an experienced one.

Really wonderful people come in there most days and talk about what it means to be human, what it means to be a good and enlighten human. I am very happy I have found this place, and I am happy to keep going and create a practice for myself that fit into my life and my little universe. I can't wait to see what the coming weeks have in store!

I discovered this studio through Rainer (best instructor) and the space is positive and welcoming. It is a great place to unwind, center yourself, and come home to your true self. Every class is different with distinct focuses and they predominantly end with either gong savasana or mediation, giving you the opportunity to explore and work on many levels and aspects of yourself. This style of yoga is very different but it's super effective and it's open to all ages, shapes, and sizes, and is highly recommended to anyone who has anxiety, addiction, depression, are prone to overthinking, and/or prone to absorbing others thoughts and emotions as their own, etc. With consistent practice, it'll literally change your life for the better, while bringing in more inner peace and self love.

You'll get an idea of what to expect as you move on to more involved classes. Great tips to remember: Wear comfy loose clothes & maybe socks (you can take them off when you are warm enough) A head covering to keep energy in is great but optional Use the restroom before class begins to stay focused Chant if you want to - if not, just enjoy the vibe! This is a relatively peaceful space as the police station next door has most of the parking spots on the street full, so traffic on this block (in an otherwise busy area) is a bit lesser. The only reason for 4 not 5 stars is that would be great to have more classes - the schedule is still a bit lean.

In 2015, I took the 8-day online meditation course and as soon as the 15-day online meditation course was offered (2018), I jumped on board with that. The 15-day program really helped solidify a 20-minute 2x day meditation practice into my life. I don't even remember the cost of each program, because what I have gained from my investment is immeasurably valuable - from drastically reducing my stress level to up-leveling so many areas of my life. In addition to the 15-day program, Emily shares so many additional gratis offerings. I have found these bonus workshops, live Zooms, Global Meditations, etc. to be so hugely enriching. Emily is an incredible communicator/speaker who uses each minute with her community efficiently and in the spirit of service. As well, you have the benefits of a meditation teacher and life coach in one person! I always walk away feeling uplifted, more purposeful, empowered, tapped into my spirituality, and equipped with more life tools. As well, I can't emphasize enough how Emily and the mission of Ziva made the toughest years of the pandemic so much "brighter" and hopeful, if one can imagine that. Emily is pure constructive positivity. Being regularly tuned in to the Ziva community, I have found that with the global/life challenges we are facing, I am far more tapped into my own power and positivity, making me far more equipped to navigate these nutty times. Whether your goal is to learn a meditation technique to incorporate into your life or dive in even further, Ziva allows for that. It's up to you : )
