There's an opportunity to sit on one of the many stone benches provided throughout the luscious well-maintained garden for meditation. I always enjoy the walking paths while listening to the birds and the koi pond while listening to the water flowing. But on a few occasions, I wish other visitors can also be in that meditative state or mode and remember to keep their conversations to a minimum once they come through the gate. This will help to maintain the tranquil environment. The meditation garden is not meant for social gatherings. Please respect those visitors who are truly there to practice mindfulness...Namaste. A definite MUST-SEE for the Yelp Community!!

I participated in a Transcendental Meditation course through the Mission Valley center years ago,…read morewhere I paid for instruction, received the opening ceremony, and attended group follow-up sessions. However, when I recently reached out for support, I was told there was no record of my instruction or payment in the TM system. This lack of accountability was deeply concerning. A global organization of this size should maintain accurate records of its students and protect them from being lost in the process. Instead, I was told that what I experienced "had nothing to do with TM," despite it taking place at their center. My hope in sharing this review is to encourage greater transparency, proper record-keeping, and accountability within the TM organization so others do not face the same dismissal or confusion.

For the price you pay, you're better off doing a $100 meditation workshop. This organization is…read morehighly money motivated. $1100 to give you "secret" mantra that can be looked up online by age and gender. Very disappointed. Hesitated writing this review for a long time but feel it's important others know. Any organization so focused on money while also claiming to be about dropping beliefs, opening up, sharing love with the world, etc might want to be more transparent and mindful themselves. The meditation is mediocre at best if you've had any experience at all. If you haven't, a couple YouTube videos will provide as much guidance and more. Plus it's free! Their weekly "checks" are NOT a meditation group. They are a constant repeat of the same material. Not worth it.

The super beautiful woman working there showed my friend and I the space for the ceremonies and gatherings. Such a spacious and clean area downstairs the store.

Glad to be doing the first review for them because it just creates such a great first impression plus smells so good.

Ashley Garcia has been using her class time at Gold as a launch pad to reel in innocent members from Gold , in an attempt to facilitate her sketchy meditation business she runs in tandem. She has offered multiple students from Gold a "free meditation session" , tells some lies, and then says it will be $4000 for 3 months to work with her. Talk about a broke girl trying to pay her rent! She manipulates individuals and says a lot of unprofessional and inappropriate things. She should be fired.

All is in layman aka real life lingo, you do not have to be a yogi to follow along, or incorporate the learnings to your personal experiences. I have ZERO physical yoga experience, and even as a remote learner, Tina makes learning the moves, breathing and the RELEASE so easy. The best part of this group, is no judgement. Doesn't matter if you're an expert or a newbie, you will get something out of it. I am repeatedly amazed by the simplicity of the moves, yet I can FEEL IT. I've also done an individual reading from Tina. AH-MAZING. So accurate. SO HELPFUL. And thought provoking in moving things to perspective, and a right frame of mind that eases. Truly a spirit lifting experience. And some laughs along the way.

Shashi, who owns the Center is an excellent teacher who has been practicing and teaching yoga forever. He is a wonderful teacher who knows very well the human body and what it needs. His classes are at once challenging and relaxing. Also, his assistant,Yumi, is a wonderful and talented teacher in her own right! I love the fact that these teachers are older and more experienced (Shashi is from India). Instead of showing off what they know, they focus on teaching you to improve/ heal your body and relax!

Reiki Level 1 was a wonderful class filled with healing and community. She makes the environment feel safe, supportive and is truly invested in her students. She also goes above and beyond by putting together her own unique manual that aligns with her own experiences. Cherry on top! I highly recommend reiki classes by Marcela.

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!
