Great find in Richardson for an authentic vegan buffet prepared by the monks. Everything was…read moretasty, fresh and hot. FOOD: lots of varieties, including rice and noodle dishes, fresh seasonal veggies. Today was lentil soup and a type of turnip & corn soup. They had veggie "egg" rolls & some fried bits of something that was really good. ATMOSPHERE: This is a great place to learn about Buddhist culture & food. Seating is cafeteria style. All plates, cutlery & cups are disposable. This week is Chinese New Year of the pig and it was festively decorated everywhere. SERVICE: Self-serve for the most part. TIPS: Get there early, at 11:30 to get the freshest and hottest dishes. Also, it starts crowding in at 12 & after. Last, bring your own glass /cup in as they only have little 4 oz cups for water or hot tea.

Somebody could live there. The only class I was able to make was after work so it was during high traffic hour, it was crazy finding a parking spot. I might wait till it gets dark later to come back. Instructor was cool and welcoming. I didnt have any complaint besides the heater, it was so hot.

I should have taken pictures!…read more Shala is such a beautiful space. You walk into the studio and immediately feel the good energy that this space brings. I was fortunate to have a chance to visit with Ruth and Tina when I arrived. Their vision is exciting! If you have a chance, arrive early so they can share with you their wonderful ideas. Ruth and Tina spared no expense on designing a studio that is very warm and inviting. I did my first vigorous class with Rebekah on October 5th 2022. Rebekah is a fun and very knowledgeable instructor. I love the way she builds on the flow. Allowing your body to warm up before breaking into more difficult poses. Rebekah is also excellent with counter poses which are very important when practicing yoga. Her class was a vinyasa with a few "circus tricks" lots of twists and balancing . Shala yoga loft is now my favorite thing to do on Wednesday at noon. ----- It's now 2023, and I'm now a member at Shala yoga loft. In October of 2022 I purchased a $40 two week unlimited, and I'm so glad I did! It allowed me to try all the different classes which helped me decide if Shala was the place for me. I now go to as many classes as I'm physically able to go to. I love the variety of classes that are offered and the uniqueness of each of the instructors. I honestly believe that Shala's yoga instructors are the best. They are all very kind and extremely knowledgeable. I also LOVE the choice of chilled or heated lavender towel at the end.

I received a reading with Calvin today - what an amazing treat for my Monday :)…read more Calvin didn't know much about me or my current situation but he was able to pick up on my current energetic state with ease. He is easy to talk to and straightforward - allowed me to ask questions and even gave me guidance on what I should do to handle some of my current spiritual challenges. Calvin's broad and deep knowledge is sprinkled throughout the reading - he helped me understand my true capabilities and how I can empower myself to be exactly who I was meant to be. I am grateful for him and his efforts in assisting the planet to awaken, as he is also allowing other intuitives to truly see themselves and walk in courage and power. Thank you so much!

I would say Calvin's style is "tell it as it is" and non-bias -- which is EXTREMELY VALUABLE when…read moreyou need a dramatic shift in your life. I've used him for business and spiritual coaching. On the business side, I was kinda in a stalemate and not clear where I wanted to take my company next. I didn't really feel as passionate anymore about what I was doing...and my revenue was showing it. He helped me get clear by putting practices in place to find my truth and held me accountable. After that process, he helped me get a "next steps" plan that was very good and actionable that I KNOW I could not have done on my own. He help me figure out business activities that were truly time wasters. I've used him work through negotiating situations with my company -- with better than expected financial results...(He's been VP of some big companies, so he's no joke and viewpoint is very strategic -- no matter the industry). On the spiritual side, he is well versed and well studied in many religions and spirituality. He's extremely intuitive. I've always been spiritual minded, but I realized I needed more 1-on-1 support to navigate more of my spiritual practice in my real life. I love his guided meditations and courses! He teaches a wide range of spiritual topics that challenged me to study and learn I TOTALLY ate it all up. I would say no matter your faith, he meets you where you are and brings you up! What I love the most is that he creates a safe space to dump all your thoughts on the table, sort through them together, identify which are truth or lies you tell yourself, and walk away with clarity and an action plan. I would say if you are considering hiring a life coach where confidentiality, realness, spirituality, and results matter -- get Calvin -- and that my HONEST, HONEST opinion.
