    I first met Marcia through her New Moon Womb Healing circle she held in August 2020. Even through…read morezoom, I could feel her authenticity and peaceful, grounding energy. She had me connecting to my womb in a way I never even thought to do. That made such a lasting impression on me that, when I got pregnant literally a few weeks later, I asked her to be my doula. Marcia said I'd be bringing her out of retire but she accepted - and I'm so glad she did! For anyone who's had a baby during the pandemic, you know how isolating and restrictive it is. Marcia's presence made the last month of my pregnancy feel so comforted and held. I loved the guided meditations we'd do over the phone. She would call and text to check in on how I was doing both physically and emotionally. She came over to practice birthing positions with my husband. It was big sister energy and I was so into it! I'll never forget the morning we decided to go to the hospital - I'd been laboring for over 24 hours already. Marcia had been checking in on me all through the night, came over in the morning to draw me a bath to help with the pain. She stayed with us all through the laboring and birth. With every push, I heard her voice encouraging and coaching me through it - I seriously couldn't have done it without her and my husband! One thing I really appreciated was how she handled the transfer of my placenta to the placenta encapsulator. It was a big weight off my mind. The postpartum care I received from Marcia was so healing and nurturing - it was exactly what I needed. The belly massages, the sitz baths, the vaginals steams, the hip binding ceremony - it was amazing! I wished she could've been with me everyday in that first 6 weeks! Long story short - Marcia is incredibly gifted at what she does. She's empathetic and in tune to what a pregnant person is going through. I'm so grateful to have had her help in bringing my baby into this world!

    I cannot recommend this treatment enough for every woman. It really is incredibly powerful and…read morerevealing of ones self. Marcia is a kind, open, knowledgeable, and cathartic balm for your soul. Definitely make time to include this into your self-care practices.

    The Vibe: You stay in the room, but everything moves. (This…read moreis the new theater. And yeah, it's your show.) The Space: There's a clear progression. Entry: A natural, open atrium Walk-in: Clean, gallery-like Meditation Room: Darker, softer, low to the ground. It mirrors the journey you're about to take. The Classes - Camila's Breathwork & Sound Bath: The container opened with a theme: Prune the plant. Remove what's dead so what's alive can expand. Breathwork: Open-mouth breath pattern. Belly chest (inhale, inhale) Exhale In Sync. Rhythmic. Effective. At some point, the music carried the message: You don't wait for life to change to feel better. You shift first. What you choose internally is what gets reflected back to you. (https://youtu.be/2GzFRyZxIkY?si=OwRNUXb_GPzBCMLH) Then Ruthie's Time Travel Meditation: We started with a slow body relaxation...feet to crown, and somewhere along the way...you disappear (ahhhh, yaaaaaaas!). Blissed out. The only thing that really stayed was the question: "What truly matters to you?" And the answer didn't come as thinking. It came as knowing. The Container: Both instructors clearly explained what to expect. Which translates to: Safety. Relaxation. Letting go. Feeling. Practical Notes: Wear something you can fully relax in (you're lying down most of the time) Expect emotional + physical release (it's not just "relaxing") Great if you're feeling full, overwhelmed, or in transition This is more inner work than "class" Bring a journal and markers for insight! Water Station (a must!) Free street parking and/or metered parking Wisdom: Clarity isn't found. It's what's left when you let go.

    I quite like the vibe of this place and really enjoy a few of their classes. Their staff is super…read morenice. Unfortunately; though; I have to give this studio a lower rating due to 1. Their lack of cleanliness- it seems that their cleaning crew consistently forgets to sweep/vacuum/ wash the floors. The corners are filled with dust and hair. This has been brought up to management in the past yet not properly addressed. May I suggest that the staff mop the floors before the first class of the day to ensure that dust and hair are not an issue? 2. The lack of cultural sensitivity: yoga/mediation are ancient traditions that require not only cleanliness where one practices but also no shoes inside the studio. As most of us are appreciating and borrowing from elsewhere these ancient traditions, we also have a responsibility to honor them by adhering to their cultural context. Unfortunately, the studio consistently allows a few patrons and even instructors to wear their dirty shoes inside the studio and allow people to walk on others' mats. This is unacceptable and culturally insensitive as feet and shoes are considered dirty by the global majority and of course in India. 3. I would like to suggest a vocal sound bath class since their range of sound bath classes is limited. 4. They pack the yoga classes to the max. Patrons are packed like little sardines. I often have someone's feet within inches of my face. Or not enough space to spread my tiny arms (I am a shortie). I can't even tell you how many times I have had to ensure the smell of my neighbor's morning breath. Not the best situation. 5. Value; comparable if not better. Their monthly rate is great if you take classes more than twice a week. However, the most popular classes sell out weeks in advance. Perhaps they may consider having more than 1 yoga class per day.

    I've wanted to go here for a very long time and since it was so nice over the weekend, we finally…read moreremembered and went. It used to be free but it's $6 per person and you have to park on the street, but no big deal here . . . yet. Our group of 3 walks up along with another person and we try to check in with 2 men at a table. One older gray haired man tells us the tour already started. I'm completely confused and look at my watch, and say, "it's only 3 minutes after the start time." Then he says, "We were looking for you!" I said, "Well, you weren't looking very hard because here we all are checking in at the start of the tour." After he checks us in, I ask if we can sprint to catch up to the tour and he says yes. I lean into the doorway and see the rest of the tour - 4 other women right there. So half the tour was 3 minutes "late" and they decided to start, weird but moving on. The woman leading the tour was really quite lovely and I wasn't expecting the house to be so amazing since I was focused on the garden part but I really loved learning about the house and original inhabitants. We are asked several times if we want to join the meditation but I'm getting culty vibes and we keep politely declining. Once we are outside, we are asked again if we would like to join the meditation and now the gray haired man is with us again and I said, "No, we really just wanted to see the gardens." At this point he says, "Oh the gardens are closed." I'm completely confused again and said, "What? But that's why we came-- to see the gardens & labyrinth." He then says, "Oh! well the labyrinth is open but the gardens are closed." At this point I think they asked us to join the meditation again. I asked when they expected them to be opened and the response was June of this year, maybe because there have been a lot of delays. Again, weird, but okay we just want to walk the labyrinth. There were a couple of other women walking it and then our group of three joined too. I'm halfway thru it and I look up and see the gray haired man STARING at us - which included 3 preteens/teens in halter tops posing and taking pix - and I was so incredibly creeped out. I had no idea what to do, cross the labyrinth? ask him what he is staring at? I came to this place to ground and do something calming and now I have a man staring at me and other women but since everyone else was looking down or at their phone, they didn't notice so I didn't want to disrupt THEIR experience. Eventually he went away, to join the meditation I guess. We finished the labyrinth and left. It was only $6 but since it didn't mention the gardens were closed on the website or ticket, I am asking for a refund. Would I go again when the gardens are open? Yes. Would I recommend to others? Yes. Would I advise against it as a single woman? Also yes. I will update if they refund us or not.

It's hard to miss when driving but if you have a reservation you can park in their lot. Visiting days are Wednesday, Friday, Sunday and you have to pre-book. The entrance ticket includes a short tour showing part of the downstairs house and after guests can walk around the meditation garden with the Labyrinth. I thought it was peaceful and calm, it was like a very small version of Self-Realization as there were grassy areas and benches to sit and relax and meditate. I appreciated the fountains because the sound of running water is so calming.

    I began going to the Torrance Zen Center over a year ago. I had always thought of Zen as something…read morefound in books, or from the past, or something a few other unusual people did in far-away places. Enlightenment seemed like an esoteric, out-of-reach goal, and not one I was necessarily interested in pursuing -- not understanding, it had always struck me as an ironically self-focused pursuit. A Zen state of mind, with balance and equanimity -- that seemed interesting. But through the people at the Torrance Zen Center I found that the Zen path is not about the mind, but very much of the heart, and all the compassion the heart is capable of. The practitioners follow the Greater Path, with the intention of helping anyone and everyone through Zen to manifest a better version of themselves. And Enlightenment? It's about helping other people. Becoming in sync with the Greatest Good, however the name given by one's language culture. While the foundational practitioners natively speak Mandarin or Cantonese, they all make a dedicated and successful effort to speak English in teaching, sharing, and casual interactions, for which I am deeply and profoundly grateful. They have graciously and continuously extended a warm, including welcome. I have occasionally felt "odd man out," but: my doing. Their generosity of heart always surges back and I relax a bit more. Shortly after beginning meditation practice, I noticed, to my surprise, that many people - some I knew and some I didn't - suddenly seemed more comfortable around me, eager to talk and share whatever was on their minds. Positive feelings and experiences began to dominate my life, all while retaining and improving family relations, growing friendships, and more easily establishing new connections with people. Life is short. Five Stars!
