The knowledge and practices shared are priceless. When I was first introduced to the OCMG, I was suffering in pain on many levels, spiritually, physically, emotionally and financially, so much of which I was unaware of. I'm so grateful for all the various meditation theme nights that focus to heal the illusions I created in these different areas of my experience. I'm especially thankful for our Wholly Healing nights. To me, Wholly Healing is like taking an energetic shower/reset. I didn't realize how much of my pain was self-inflicted and how simple it really was and is to let the heaviness pass. However, I am becoming more and more aware of how easy I forget. The OCMG is a wonderful reminder of the truth of who and what I really am. Thank you OCMG for being such a blessing in my life. May you continue to Be Blessed Thanks for reading

I've been coming to this meditation group since December of 2011. I had never before meditated and…read morewas prepared for anything. I expected to sit on the floor and have monks lighting incense but to my shock it was rather normal. The instructor was very friendly and down to earth, we sat in chairs and the meditations were guided. I had no clue what I was doing my first time but by my third week I started to get the hang of it. Meditation was a tremendous experience and allowed me to slow down and be present to life. Prior to meditation, I was emotionally erratic, anxious, stress and prone to being overwhelmed. But meditation gave me the balance that I thought was not possible given my high energy personality. I leave feeling at peace and with a sense of stillness and calmness that I've been searching for nearly all my life. This group is quirky and fun, filled with a refreshing sense of humor and without all the head-in-the-skies hippy types I've encountered elsewhere.

After 3 years, I'm back. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. So when my…read morepanic and anxiety attacks conveniently began to tag team, I found myself back to the beginning. The universe knew exactly what it was doing sending me back to the starting line. I've lost my way again. I indeed forgot how to calm my mind and body. It was a humbling way for the universe to tell me I am not meditating nor relaxing correctly. That's where Jessika comes in. She is the absolute best and is truly amazing at holding a safe space for you to achieve complete and total relaxation. She offers virtual appointments and thankfully she had availability within a few days. My experience during a session is walking in with a million thoughts racing through my head while my body can't sit down and walking out relaxed, peaceful, and focused. What a difference. I must admit how naive I was to think that reiki should not be a consistent part of my healing journey. Talking with Jessika, she made an interesting point that while reiki can help after one session its benefits can go beyond by being more consistent. I do agree because if one session can bring peace to my life imagine what monthly sessions could do for my health and healing. My goal is to be more consistent in reiki healings this year so that I can be the best version of myself. I can't wait to book my next session and continue to work on healing. So if you are on the fence, do it. Book the appointment and get started on your healing journey.

I started coming to The Sanctuary last month after being away from yoga for almost 8 years. I…read morewanted to get back into yoga and make more time for myself, so I decided to try the $45 two week unlimited membership. It was a great way to explore different classes and find what I enjoy. I've really loved Gentle Yoga, Yin Yang, Slow Flow, Harmony Breath & Sound, and Restorative Yoga. All of the instructors I've taken classes with have been wonderful, especially Sylvia, Sara, Divya, and Natalie. Aysha has also subbed a few classes I've attended and has a very calming voice. I ended up signing up for the monthly unlimited membership after my trial. The pricing is very affordable compared to other studios, and I love the small, intimate atmosphere. The Sanctuary is such a peaceful and welcoming place, and I truly feel like it's a place of healing. Yoga has already made such a positive difference for me mentally and physically, and I'm so glad I found this studio!

I have been curious about Sanctuary Wellness Center & Yoga Studio for a long time now. I was so…read moreexcited to see an opening for Aerial Yoga during a time I was available. I made sure to arrive early... especially when there was this excerpt on the class that says, "Arriving late, even unintentionally can take away from others - their peace, focus, and time". The parking lot was hard to find. I actually had to circle it a few times before finding it, and parking in their back lot. I entered from the back door and made my way through the front to check in with the owner. I checked in early. I signed in. I SIGNED THE WAIVER. The owner was going to give me a studio tour but she kept getting busy with other things. That's fine, not an issue. Their studio space is small. For aerial, there are 9 silks, so 1 for the instructor and 8 for the students. The front left is a bit close to some equipment so the teacher took that spot when it got busy. The spacing is a bit tight, and can cause students to bump into each other if they are not mindful. Also the studio is off a busy street and I can hear the cars driving by, so it could be more relaxing. Come early! Especially with aerial. It is important to adjust the silks where the bottom is at your pelvic height. A lot of the students did not come in until the start of class time, and the instructor still had to lower the silks and then adjust it to their height. OUR CLASS STARTED 10 MINUTES LATE. I don't blame the instructor because they can't turn away their students... but that is 10 minutes wasted from my time even though I was early and prepared. The aerial class itself was a great work out. A bit on the basic end of aerial yoga. I know the instructor mentioned she designs it based on the level of the class and we had some folks who were first timers so the instructor went easy on us. The owner offered to take pictures for us, but she went away. The instructor was nice to take photos too, but her yoga skills are definitely better than her photography skills. In one of the photos where my face and body shaped looked the best, she had her whole thigh in it. Sigh. We were 3 minutes from class ending time and we didn't even get into the silks for a cocoon savasana. At that point I just left cause it didn't seem like we would be doing the savasana or anything. What annoyed me the most ... is receiving a messaging telling me I didn't sign a waiver and that I need to sign one next time. WOW !! I came early... signed the waiver... had my time wasted... and now I get this email telling me I didn't sign the waiver. Before receiving that message I was in the air about coming back. But after seeing that message I was so annoyed. I am not coming back... It would have been more tactful to wait for me to come back and ask me at that time to sign if they misplaced the last one. I work out to relax but this whole experience was so stressful. I shouldn't have my time wasted if THEY are disorganized.

What a pleasant surprise. My wife talked me into (reluctantly) taking the TM class. I was…read moreskeptical and wasn't sure there would be much value. I couldn't have been more wrong. TM has proven to be extremely effective at stress reduction and helping my nervous system get healthy. I've tried all types of breathwork (4-7-8, box breathing, etc.), acupressure, mindful meditation, etc. with inconsistent results. 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.

The space is clean and welcoming, with two pristine restrooms and a tea room. The instructors are very knowledgeable. In fact, numerous instructors ask at the beginning of class if there are postures or areas of the body you wish to work on and then proceed to tailor the class based on student responses. There is a variety of class offerings, from a more physical vinyasa class to a more restorative sound healing class. Unlike gyms and conventional studios, the rooms have no mirrors. At this studio, the emphasis is placed on looking inward, feeling the posture, rather then external appearances and comparisons to those around you. The yoga practitioners at the studio come in all ages, shapes and sizes. Independent of your experience with yoga, all are welcome. Truly. The center provides all necessary equipment: yoga mats, blocks, straps, blankets, etc. Parking is very easy and convenient. Whether you are brand new to yoga or a longtime practitioner, this is the place for you!
