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.

You definitely won't regret it.

I attended Alice's Level 1 reiki course and also received reiki sessions from her. I cannot…read morerecommend her highly enough. She is dedicated, authentic, and skilled. She's genuine in her craft and devoted to it with all her heart and soul. As a teacher, she fosters the development of reiki practice in her students with a method of teaching that is powerful and gentle at the same time. I learned how to use hands-on healing with myself, other people, and even on animals. I also learned fantastic meditation practices that I will be using lifelong. Before attending her course, I was merely curious and bit shy of energy work. Now I am sure this is an area I want to develop in myself as part of my own personal growth and to share with others. I also received reiki sessions from her. I had never experienced reiki before, but let me tell you! It's like putting your soul into a sauna! I came out feeling light, airy, and energetically charged. I also slept a lot afterwards. She knows what she's doing for sure and then some! She is a true guru, so rare found in our time.

And, she continues to support you for as long as you need it. She is always there to answer questions or give you support and ongoing encouragement for your own Reiki practice. Once you are a student of Alice's you are forever her student. I really cannot say enough about how great a teacher she is. I had been studying Reiki for about a year, but until I took a class with her it just did not resonate with me. Now I feel like I have the tools to begin a lifelong Reiki practice. Class with Alice has been life changing for me!

I stayed in the Krishna cabin which is the last cabin on the way out to Bald Mountain (a lovely 360 degree look-out spot on the Sierra foothills). This is as close to a 5 star cabin in the forest as I could have imagined. Everything I could imagine needing was here. Simple but complete. The temple is absolutely silent. You can hear your heart beat in there. A powerful place for renewing your spirit and deeply refreshing for the dive back into civilization. And perhaps this is true civilization! :)

She teaches various meditation techniques and mindful movements in a supportive and inviting environment. She is kind, knowledgeable, funny and approachable. After taking this class I have more self-compassion, increased self-awareness, enhanced emotion regulation, improved sleep and less anxiety. She teaches you practical mindful tools to help you deal with life's everyday stressors. To reap the generous and continuous benefits of MBSR, a commitment to daily formal practice is necessary and extremely beneficial. My daily practice is something I look forward to each day because it allows me to pause and recharge. Taking Michelle's MBSR class is truly a gift to yourself and your loved ones and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Love! Love! Love!…read more When I first moved into this area, I was looking for a new exercise that I would love. I went to various studios: cycling, yoga, pilates, HIIT, infrared studios, and then I went to Pure Barre. Why it was different for me? Five years ago it was hard, today, it's still really hard. You're body gets better and you get stronger, and even though the workout is the same, it's still hard. How the heck does that make sense? Your form gets better so the intensity goes up, you continue to "find your shake" as they say. I still crawl out of there, but I go to turn of my watch and I'd burn anywhere from 250-350 calories consistently in a 50min class. Bonus: you become part of a community. Literally you walk in the door and the staff will greet you by name, don't ask me how they remember after seeing you one time, but it's like walking into Cheers! (only the older ones will get that). Everyone has been kind and welcoming including the other members. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend! But don't quit after the first one, let it challenge you!

I bought a Groupon for this studio for 10 classes and so far I love it! They provide any extra…read moreequipment needed like bands, mats and exercise balls. The instructors are also super great, they take time to correct form as needed but the class is fast paced and totally easy to follow if you have some barre experience. The studio is also stocked with cute workout clothes and socks are available for purchase, grip socks are needed for every workout. The room is a pretty good size and not crowded at all so I had plenty of room for all the complicated moves I probably failed at. I can't wait to finish up my classes and possibly stay for more!
