I love the way he helps people to experience truth instead of just talking about it. The book that is provided is also amazing.

The Metta Space (Metta, means loving-kindness) La Jolla offers something for everyone. It offers sacred space for Litios light crystal healing meditation, sound healing, and kundalini yoga classes. Victor, the owner adds love, light, and laughter to his classes which are very nice, illuminating, and welcoming to experience! You'll walk away feeling invigorated and refreshed. He also offers amazing bodywork and massage, plus organic essential goods like local artisan honey and chocolate.

As a La Jollan native and resident, I highly recommend The Metta Space La Jolla, holistic health and spiritual wellness center located at 5668 La Jolla Blvd. It's an awesome place.

She has intuitive pressure and seems to know exactly where/how to work out tension in my body. She is well versed in her craft and is quite amazing and as such I'd highly recommend her! She has a very calm demeanor and it friendly as well. We've had some lovely discussions about books, too! She's conveniently located just outside of the main PB area and has ample parking in the parking lot. If you're in PB and need a massage, check her out. She won't disappoint!

Don't forget your yoga mat, but in case you do, they have some you can borrow that get sanitized between uses. Careful what you bring into the actual yoga studio if you don't want the puppies chewing it. They chewed my slides and my water bottle, but it didn't bother me. If you have stuff, there are some little cubby spaces available. It wasn't super hard to find parking; it took us maybe 5 minutes to park (street parking) and then we walked about 2 blocks. The class was totally worth it and you get the opportunity to adopt puppies if you like!

While I discovered hot yoga is not for me, I still have a lot of good things to say. If I liked…read moreyoga more, I could see myself buying an unlimited membership here. They have a fantastic "try 3 free classes" deal for those who haven't tried Yoga Box before. I tried 2 of the 3 classes, both Power Vinyasa classes, as I am very much a beginner. Even the Power Vinyasa class moved pretty quickly so I ended up taking a few breaks to catch up. Can be tough if you don't know the name of certain moves but the instructors do a good job of demonstrating & watching other folks who know what they're doing is helpful. The studio is very communicative ahead of your first class and they do a good job of letting you know what to brings(yoga mat, towel, water). The studio is extremely clean & the instructors were very nice. I will say, I think this is pretty tough for someone (me) who has never done yoga before. It gets very warm in the room (97 degrees) and you will sweat a LOT. Like puddles of sweat. I recall the music in both classes I attended being really good. The prices seem pretty fair compared to other workout studios around PB (I think currently like $114/month for unlimited classes...that seems like a good deal (though I don't know how much other yoga classes cost) and there are a wide selection of time slots so seems to be good for early birds & those who want to come after work / later in the evening. Parking in the lot was nearly impossible but there is nearby residential parking...I got lucky both times but could see that being an issue depending on the time of day. So despite not yoga not being a good fit for me, I'd still highly recommend it to those wanting to try / those who know they like yoga!

They also give 'dharma talks' from prepared scripts - not very Zen! Perhaps it is confusion like this that lead to their teacher, the renowned Joko Beck, leaving and renouncing them as not representing her teaching. More like a recovery group for disenchanted practitioners as faith is an important part of practice that they seem to lack. I would recommend going somewhere else for anyone who wants to make progress on a spiritual path.

Staff acknowledged the cancellation and apologized, but the charges continued. These unauthorized charges disrupted another automatic payment I had scheduled. In addition, I signed a contract with the understanding that certain amenities would be available. Over time, several amenities either disappeared or were not functioning as advertised. Equipment was frequently in poor condition, some machines did not work properly, and basic facility expectations were not consistently met. There were also ongoing issues with air conditioning, and even simple amenities like stocked shampoo and conditioner were unreliable. If you choose to join, I strongly recommend getting any cancellation in writing and carefully reviewing what amenities are actually operational versus what is advertised.

Those sessions helped me know this is definitely who I want to work with and helped me prepare when I was struggling. She is very talented and genuine. I'm so grateful to have a teacher that has so much knowledge but who also makes her students feel comfortable. She is natural in how she interacts with us and provides us with the answers needed. I always come back from an immersion feeling like I have what I needed, never wishing I had asked another question. Even if I didn't ask the question, she seems to be aligned with what we needed to hear. She also has a great sense of humor, which is always important to me :) I look forward to continuing this journey!
