Danny Goodman completely changed my perspective. He was calm, patient, and truly listened to my concerns. Since learning TM in 2025, I've experienced profound emotional release and often feel deeply reset after meditating. It has helped me stay grounded during a very stressful time dealing with insurance issues after the Palisades fire, and my sleep has improved noticeably. If you think you "can't meditate," I highly recommend learning TM with Danny. I'm very grateful I finally did.

I loved my 4-day intensive with Denny. I highly suggest TM for anyone hoping to change their life.read more

Beautiful meditation Center to dive into your own inner self…read moreand realize the divine.

I came yesterday for the first time with my friend who grew up going there. My openness to try the…read moreplace and on a whim led to the beginning of my healing from last year's traumas. My dear friend thought it would be good for me to come be around some amazingly positive energy and my instinct told me to drop what I was doing to just go. No butts about it. To start, yes, parking is upstairs. You walk down to enter the center through double doors. I was greeted with a shrine. There was an instant shift in energy the minute you step in. There were frames all along the side of the walls of photos of people I'm not yet familiar with. They have a gift shop if you want to purchase any meditation CDs or photos of gurus. Still learning their names. On Tuesdays and Sundays are the days to go and have a nice dinner cafeteria style for $10 in cash that goes towards the center. The people donate their time and energy and put a lot of love into making the food here. The food served is vegan so don't worry about being lactose intolerant. The chocolate chip vegan cookies were a delight! Melted a little in my hands and the coconut oil made it nice and soft. I had black beans, spinach basmati rice, and salad with light vinaigrette dressing. They also had some mash potato, but I passed. Everyone here greets you with a smile and introductions. They make you feel good for taking time out to attend. Newcomers are welcome without judgement or asking what background or religion you come from. It's refreshing. Harlin in the dinner area explained the rituals to me. It was good to know what to expect prior to going in. The people range from young children to elderly and everything in between. I grew up going to Catholic Church, but the energy here was just far better than I've ever experienced. Whatever bad energy you carried with you, it's like it washed away the minute you step inside. I came a bit late, 7:15. My friend and I had 15 minutes to eat before the meditation began. After dinner, I put away my tray and threw paper plates in the trash to walk down further to a area on the left where you put your shoes up on a shelf. Everyone goes in barefoot or with socks on. I went barefoot onto the carpet and as you enter the meditation room you are able to look down at the top of the stairs to see chairs set up and a stage with a podium and to the left the live band. Women sat to the left, while men stayed on the right. We came in a bit after the intro so we waited for an opportune time to join the ladies. As I walked down the steps to the left on the side of the stairs were a blankets, shawls, and pillows. You can grab whichever you feel comfortable using. I grabbed one of each. I stacked my pillow on top of the folded blanket and put the shawl over my shoulders. Mimicking my friend. We sat on the floor. Some sat on chairs. There were kids napping on the floor right in front of me. During song meditation there are words on a projector for you to sing along. Literally only like 7-8 words that get chanted the whole time. The choir sings it then the rest of the room and we alternate. Sometimes we all did it together. In the beginning there's someone leading the group at the podium and we just go into a chant for a while. As we near the end of the chant meditation the music and words are expressed in crescendo. Once it was over, a soothing voice fills the room through the speaker to guide you in the second part of the meditation. The whole room goes silent and it feels like it's just you in the entire room. I kept opening my eyes until I felt comfortable enough to just relax and let the lady guide me towards the light. At one point the light in the room brightened and I felt like I was outside sitting in the sun. After that we went to put away the pillow, shawl, and blanket and line up towards the center of the room in front of two donation baskets and a shrine. People went two at a time. I watched as my friend walked up to the shrine bowed her head close to it with hands on the table then moved down to make room as she went into child's pose. Arms stretched out front, knees bent and feet with plantar facing up. She did it during her prayer then got up when she was done and walked towards the exit. There's another room where there's a huge golden statue of a bald guru draped in red fabric. To enter you must also be barefoot and quiet. There's some soothing music playing in there. As you enter there are chairs to the right and left. Upon entering I was instructed to walk down the center do slight bow then do a full bow on the ground like in child's pose again and circle clockwise around the statue stopping at 6 o'clock, 9, 12, and 3. You can have your palms together in front of your chest during this time. My friend decided to sit on the floor cross legged and I sat on the chair. You spend a moment in silence and leave when you want to before the center closes. The energy in there is amazing.

Tikvah... YES! She was my instructor today and her class is one of (if not the most) challenging…read morereformer (non-mega former) classes I've taken. She will push you and you will definitely feel the burn! She is subbing now, but mentioned she should have regular classes starting 2020. Her style is not classical, but certainly effective. Definitely some unique moves she had us do. I came here through Gympass, and had no trouble getting into class. I really like how there's free parking underground (free on weekends and validated up to 2 hours weekdays)! Take the elevators up to the 2nd floor and walk around until you find suite 200. It was a little overwhelming when I got off the elevator because the studio ended up being all the way down the hall. They have two showers as well as a separate changing area. Remember to bring towels, since they won't have any for you to use! Have Body Wellness will be one of my go to pilates studios when I'm visiting LA, especially since they offer the occasional sound bath!

At 1st this studio seemed great. Turns out the owner, Natalie, is highly unprofessional and not the…read morespiritually warm person she makes herself out to be. After 3 months I put my monthly auto-pay for unlimited classes on hold due to a strained shoulder. Upon return, I took a class with her (which I enjoyed in the past). There were some moves I couldn't do as my body was still weak. Just like some other reviewers mentioned, she got very annoyed with me because I was struggling, and reprimanded me for not mentioning my injury to her before class. After class, she was chatting with another client. All smiles. I politely waited until they were done, then approached her. I wanted to diffuse the awkward energy between us. When she saw me, the smile dropped from her face. I said "I'm sorry I didn't mention the injury before class, I thought I was stronger than I was." She dismissively replied "Mm-hmm" and looked away, visibly disgusted. WOW. I did nothing to deserve her "mean-girl" reaction. Being her client paying a whopping $200/mo, I'd think she'd act differently to keep my business. Needless to say, I felt very uncomfortable continuing to go there. I tried to cancel my monthly auto-pay. Guess what...she wouldn't let me cancel, stating a 2-MONTH advance notice is required!! This is unheard of for any yoga/Pilates studio! Nowhere on the website, or MindBody portal for this studio stated this policy. Clearly she had some weird personal vendetta against me and retaliated with this made-up policy. I had to work with my credit card company to dispute the bogus charges. She even lied to them saying she had a flyer stating the policy, but never provided them a copy. They reversed the charges. I came to practice Pilates because it is specifically designed to rehabilitate & heal the body. It should not be a contest. Ever. While some of the other instructors were lovely, it is because of the owner's bizarre business practices that I recommend against this place.

The staff are so friendly and kind. We also got to meet Jane who was just wrapping up her sound bath with tuning forks who went above and beyond to chat with us and not only show us her whole setup, but thoroughly explain how each bowl, fork etc effects the body and aura. We will 100% be coming back for her sound baths!!! Huge fans now! I cannot recommend TBR highly enough. Everyone needs an experience like this in their lives. The world will be a better place if we all went there! (Pics of the pod and lounger included. Couldn't photograph the tune bed because it was in use, lol!)

I found all of this in Light. He provides his guidance over 4 consecutive days in 2hr lessons and I really felt after the classes that I had learned not only the fundamentals behind Vedic meditation but why it has such a positive impact in one's life and what to expect initially as a beginner meditator. I came out of the classes eager to meditate twice a day and I have not only consistently done it, but I look forward to my meditation sessions. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to meditate on their own and be able to understand meditation and its benefits.
