I've been taking classes with Carly and it's been fantastic so far. Gina also filled in once and…read morewas excellent. I'm new to yoga and this has been accessible and workable for me I'm spite of the fact that I'm clearly the least capable person in the room. Great people, positive vibes, and the Thursday evening crowd is rad. Get a glass of wine afterward downstairs if you like. Couldn't be happier.

It is clean and organized and has really good energy! I take Mely's class and she is amazing. It nourishes my soul! And the other people in the class are so lovely. I feel so grateful for this precious little studio here in Templeton!

45 days of yoga for $45! This special offer is how I found the studio...and I am happy I did! My…read moreplan was to go at least 30 of the 45 days and somedays I went twice a day to check out the class offerings. The studio is very clean and friendly. The prop room is organized and impressive! Most of the classes I attended people were really using a lot of the props provided...to help further a pose? or just because they were all high quality props and most people don't have them at home? I would say overall my time spent at the studio was time well spent! Most of the classes have a gentle/restorative vibe and they were accessible for every level and age group. Yoga Village would have gotten a 5 star review from me if some of the classes were a little more strengthening/power style yoga (is there a name for that?) Being able to sample all the classes with the great introductory deal was very cool...I was able to quickly determine which classes would be best for me and to see if I would connect with the instructor. Connie's classes were by far the most organized and clearly taught, I knew she had been teaching for a while because her classes were so well attended and she kept a very nice flow and is very knowledgeable and kind. I also enjoyed the Pilates classes and the Monday night Hatha class. Everyone I met at the studio was kind and respectful of your practice. The overall vibe was very nice. The studio is a little tucked away in a newer/office type building and is close to Alphys Broiler.

She was so nice and accommodating. This was our first time and we were all looking forward to it. Once we arrived, she was prepared and ready for us, introduced herself and explained what to expect during the experience or journey and showed us into her space, which was open and beautiful. She has a pleasant affect and a soothing, calming voice. We all had a really wonderful time simply laid back, relaxing & listening to her sing and work the bowls. We had much to talk about, after we left, about our different experiences, which was fun. All positive. It was really a nice hour and we felt relaxed and refreshed afterwards. Like after a massage. We didn't want it to end. We'll do it again sometime, for longer!

I knew the moment I typed 'Reiki' into Google and saw the name Blossoming Lotus that I was in the…read moreright place. The intentional choice of name instantly evoked imagery of a beautiful unfolding and deep healing, and the stunning website only reaffirmed that sense of ease. From the start, Aluminea was warm, nurturing, and deeply accommodating. She took the time to drop in with me and hold space as I shared why I was seeking Reiki, making me feel completely comfortable and supported. Simply stepping into her presence, I felt my nervous system begin to calm. The Reiki session itself was extraordinary. Aluminea walked me through the process beforehand, helping me feel open and prepared. During the session, I experienced the most peaceful, relaxing sensations throughout my body--my mind and spirit felt completely at ease. Her clarity, warmth, and deep understanding of Reiki and healing make her an exceptional practitioner. Her energy is powerful, clear, and radiant, and I truly felt held in light, beauty, and my highest good. Afterward, she shared the insights and downloads she received during the session, which she allowed me to record--a gift I've found invaluable for reflection. She also offered affirmations and actionable steps to support my spiritual growth, which were both inspiring and practical. Her intuitive guidance helped me let go and fully surrender to the process, creating space for deep peace and healing. Her genuine compassion and lack of judgment made the entire experience feel safe and transformative. To top it all off, she offers her services on a sliding fee scale, making her work accessible and truly heart-centered. I left feeling deeply supported, connected, and inspired. I feel so blessed to have found her and look forward to attending her Reiki workshops in the future. I also can't wait to experience her yoga class, which she teaches weekly in the same serene space where she offers Reiki (Dharma Yoga Loft in Paso Robles). If you're considering Reiki, I cannot recommend Aluminea enough--she is a powerful, compassionate being bringing such meaningful work to our community.
