    This myself at the studio and two of the Yoga teachers Audrey (right) and Andrea (lower left).

    Your friendly Neighborhood Yoga Studio! Locally owned and operated, support two awesome women that have created such a great space for practicing and challenging yourself. I started my own Yoga journey only recently (about a year ago now) after learning about the mental health, physical, and scientific benefits. It's a very down to earth community, and you'll find many friendly folks. Good alignment, and modifications for starting levels are highly encouraged. There are workshops to focus on understanding how to properly flow when you're starting out. I highly recommend Jovon's "Begin at the Beginning." It's so clear and useful to know what to work towards when doing the seemingly simple asanas. I also love the monthly meditations, if that's something you're wanting to practice. Teachers are very friendly and open to feedback and questions. There are also a wide variety of teachers and intensity levels. First time I heard of and tried restorative, and I found it so deeply relaxing. The new studio is also very beautiful and inviting. I definitely plan to continue attending for a long while yet.

    Everything about Yoga Sanctum is welcoming. Let's start off with the owners . . . Very cool, down to earth and eager to share everything they know about yoga with you. I am new to their community and everyone I have encountered has been nothing but amazing. The kind of energy you want to be around. So far all the instructors I have had a class with are great and willing to help you anyway they can to make sure you get the best out of your class. Come see for yourself . . . See you there!

    Ani is a phenomenal yoga instructor, whose practice is such a gift. I was lucky enough to attend a morning session, and not only was the space truly beautiful + welcoming, but she guided such a connected flow - mind, body, soul - catering to people at various levels. I can't wait to return!

I have known her for quite a few years, since she was located next to the Starlight Whittier Village Cinemas. A few months ago, I went in for acupuncture and a massage because my back and neck were bothering me for a while. I had been very busy with my business and knew I needed to come in, but I kept putting it off until the discomfort became too much. By the time I went in, I was actually having a hard time walking. I left feeling so much better, with the pressure in my back relieved and the discomfort greatly reduced. In the past, I have gone to Jamie for bronchitis, lower back pain, and knee pain. She does more than provide treatment; she talks with you and works to understand the root of the problem. I highly recommend her services.

She doesn't just care about health stuff but also your spiritual health which I really love. Her office assistant, Jolo is also the best. He responds really fast and is always there to assist. Overall, I'm really happy with Oasis health. I'm grateful to God that I found them.

What a gorgeous and magnificent temple this is!! It has about 2 floors of parking and the temple also has additional floors to go up as well. So be expected to walk up quite a few amounts of stairs!! FIRST FLOOR: We did a prayer with a donation and it came with some apples and other assortments in a red gift bag. The red gift bag required a donation of $20 per bag so me and my mom bought 2. Then, their were some nice ladies there who helped guide is on what to do. We prayed in front of 5 statues and posted the red gift bags in the middle... SECOND FLOOR: This is where we can do another prayer with 1 incense. And this is also where the restrooms were as well so make sure you don't back down to the first floor because the RESTROOMS are on the second floor!!! PARKING: Plenty of parking. There are 2 floors available for parking!! This temple really transported us to another country!! It was also very peaceful and quiet!! SATU HSI LAI TEMPLE!!!

    Hsi Lai Temple (completed in 1988) is one of the largest Buddhist temples in North America. During…read moreeach Lunar New Year, the temple transforms into a festive spot with cute decors. Many visitors from across Southern California have a tradition of visiting within the first 15 days of the Lunar New Year as this period is still considered a part of the holiday celebration. [Lunar New Year Food Fair]: Each year, the temple sets up a food fair and this year the fair happened on the 1st, 5th, and 6th days of the Lunar New Year. Always check the website for the dates the temple sets up the food fair. All dishes are 100% vegetarian. Booths were selling fa gao (Chinese steamed cake), nian gao (steamed rice cake), turnip cake, boba milk tea, and even Girl Scout cookies. [Parking]: Under normal circumstances, there is free onsite parking at the temple; however, do NOT bother trying to park at the temple on days when shuttle service is available as visitors will be redirected to a shuttle parking lot. Temporary off-site parking and shuttle buses were located at Puente Hills Mall near Round1. Check the website for shuttle service dates. This year the shuttle service was offered on the 1st, 5th, 6th, and 12th days of the Lunar New Year. The shuttle service operated from 8 AM to 5 PM. There were two types of shuttles - big buses dropped off at the street level so guests needed to walk up to the temple while small shuttles dropped off in front of the Bodhisattva Hall. [Other experience outside of food fair]: There were booths selling cute zodiac charms. Most visitors come here to do the following acitivities (1) ring the Peace Bell, (2) view art gallery exhibitions like calligraphy, (3) attend Dharma services, (4) participate in the Light Offering Ceremony on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, (5) enjoy cultural performances on the 1st day of the Lunar New Year, (6) drink free hot teas at the information center, (7) throw pennies and try to hit a bell at the Arhat Garden, and (8) throw golden medallions with red ribbons at the tree. Visitors can go behind the Bodhisattva Hall to stop by the Main Shrine. At the Main Shrine, visitors can get free incense, pray & bow to Buddhas, and place it in the giant incense burner. Visitors can also purchase light offerings for $120 per person as well as other offering items at tables near the giant incense burner. [Photo]: Outdoors ONLY. [Prohibits]: No meat, fish, poultry, alcoholic beverages, smoking and vaping (e-cigarette), any use of marijuana, bicycles, rollerblading, skateboarding, pets (except certified service animals), and drone planes. [Dress code - preferred]: Shirts with sleeves (male and female), no tank tops, shorts, short skirts/dresses, flip-flops, or slippers. [Conclusion]: The temple offers one of the most comprehensive Lunar New Year food experiences in the entire Southern California. This is also one of the most festive places in Southern California during Lunar New Year. Highly recommend to stop by here at least once to experience the celebration. P.S. - The temple has a really good vegetarian lunch buffet.

    Worst meditation ever!!!…read more They book an area at the mall West Elm store which we where meditating in between furniture and not enough space. People had to meditate on store furniture that people will buy. They forgot to tell people to turn off their cell phones before it started and said it during the process one the text messages were coming through. Not only that the person cell phone who didn't turn it off stared receiving phone calls during the process that's when I decided to just walk out!! Also before I forget there was people knocking on the glass store trying to get in. I don't know if it was a customer or a person who arrived late to class. This group doesn't know how to make a zen place. Don't even waste your time!!! Save your gas! If I could give less then 1 star I would. So, I received a reply to my comment and the event said nothing about a real life meditation event. So I liked how the event coordinator tried to cover their errors instead of just apologizing. I have posted a pic of the actual posting they put. And if this is what you get for free!!! Then I really won't waste my money nor time with these people

I looked forward to the weekly meetings as Aimee has a kind, gentle, and supportive nature and her trainings are accessible to a newbie to meditating like me. She uses real world experiences and analogies in context with the content that makes it relatable in an easy way and the class flows seamlessly. She challenged me to utilize the trainings in my life and I immediately noticed a difference at work. I am able to walk into my department grounded within myself and I see how that also grounds my environment and my team. The website is very useful to follow along and revisit lessons. The bonus meditations became my goto for bringing this practice to my daily life. I use them on my lunch break and it revitalizes me to go back to work! The 12 week progression takes a lot of work but it is worth it. It pushed me to question the status quo of my life and to ask what I am willing to do about it. Throughout the entirety of the class Aimee was always positive and supportive of where I was in my journey.

I live on the East Coast, and the time of this event was such that it felt like being tucked in for the night, resulting in a good night's sleep.

TM had an impact immediately, and I fully expect the impact to grow over time. I wished I'd known about this years ago. One of the most effective health practices I've found. Cindy and Barry are the perfect people to train people on TM. Extremely nice and approachable, and very knowledgeable. They demystified TM and taught proper technique to maximize results. Very fortunately to have had them as trainers.
