It is relaxing and restorative ~ you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful facility, great staff and classes for all schedules!…read more I was hesitant to join because of my busy schedule and needed more advanced classes but they have since added more evening and morning classes within the last few years and I'm able to fit in 2-3 classes a week. Within a month I've had huge changes in strength level and flexibility. I already do dance and weightlifting, and this was exactly the missing piece I needed. The mindful breathing and relaxation at the start and ending of class is great for busy professionals like me in needing to make time to slow down. Going on my second month now and excited to continue!

BEST KEPT SECRET ON THE WEST COAST…read more Last month I flew with friends from Istanbul to Newark to Fort Myers on our way to Sanibel Island. Needless to say by the time we pulled out of the Hertz lot at RSW the three of us were not happy campers. Stiff necks, shoulders, broken backs, cramped legs and sleep deprived, we agreed to find a reputable body worker but were at a total loss on a Saturday. We called a couple of spas at the big hotels, they were all booked by guests but a very kind woman told me about a former physician that had a full-blown holistic healthcare practice 20 minutes outside of Ft Myers. Turns out this guy used to work at a local resort spa before going out on his own. We called and were able to get in without waiting. We were blown away by Dr. Garcia and his spa operation. He insisted we call him Javier though he is an accredited physician in Cuba. He literally turned a suburban home into a suite of treatment rooms complete with infrared sauna, Thai Massage structure, comfortable and warm massage rooms, and a beautiful waiting area with a flat-screen playing the most peaceful scenes, and with walls of organic products (essential oils, soaps, candles, insense, etc) and the most relaxing vibe. More so, Javier spent lots of time with us - we were there for over 5 hours (one of us ran out for food) by the time he worked on all 3 of us. Totally professional and attentive, he took his time explaining what he would be doing and why certain adjustments were required and why specific areas needed work. Dr. Javier created the Convergent Method on his own, and it reminded us of the holistic approach so many bodywork practitioners take in our hometowns of LA and SF - mind, body and spirit. So here's the whole thing in Lehigh Acres. It was crazy to find a West coast mentality in this tiny town. The three of us are admittedly massage and bodywork snobs so we approached his front door with great trepidation, but just minutes after entering it was clear this was a top-notch operation - again, in the middle of nowhere - literally. We were drooling by the time we walked out of there. We promptly drove over the causeway, got onto Sanibel, found our rented house and passed out for 12 hours, woke up feeling great and energized. Amazing! Javier, raise your prices, man, you're worth much more than you're charging. It's not every day a person gets the chance to have bodywork from a trained physician. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And yes, we went back for massage treatments on the way to the airport for the flight home to California. Can't recommend Dr. Javier enough.

We'd heard of TM over the years from friends, but never found the time, until a few months ago when we made the time and looked for an instructor and really lucked out when we found TM instructor, Michael Glaza in Jupiter. We took his introductory class, and signed up. My husband and I have now been meditating daily for about three months and it's made a significant difference in how we experience life, and we can't believe we waited so long to explore and practice it. We are calmer, more cheerful, energized and more clear headed, creative and have a general sense of well being we've not previously enjoyed. Michael Glaza is an extremely kind, wise and patient instructor, who has decades of experience as a TM teacher. We are continuing with his monthly sessions and can't express enough how glad and grateful we are to have found him and TM.

I can't say enough about what a great experience it was. Sensei Al teaches Zen in the traditional way, but is not off-putting, stuffy or dismissive of those who are just starting out. It was a great retreat, and even though I live a few hours away from his Zen center, I definitely will be driving up there one weekend to do some meditation and hear some dharma talks there.

It is mostly presented by a monk or nun sometimes it is just a wonderful teacher. Very Western friendly. They also sell fantastic books, mandala and other incredible items at a fair price. I look forward to visiting again very soon and hopefully more regularly. Namaste

Excellent experience. I was gifted the course by a philanthropist and I am very grateful for it…read more Part of the course was in person and the rest was on zoom. Meditation definitely helps center the mind and relax yourself of all thoughts and to get engrossed in thoughts as well. There are classes every week if you so desire. Thank you. I also notice that this would be good for people with ADD /ADHD - and lo and behold, when I was leaving the office, I saw brochures on ADD/ADHD. So I guess I was onto something! You can do 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the late afternoon (that's what I am doing right now). You should notice that there is a change or perhaps someone else will notice the change first!

For me I really don't want to part of meditation groups. Sorry but not sorry. I personally feel great sense of accomplishment/peace in exercise and sleep rather than meditating. I went to a intro session with a friend of mine. She is really into meditation and the different kinds. She wants to see what is out there available. When she invited me, i decided to go to see if I will be interested as well. But for people who are interested in meditating, this program is very well structured. They give introduction classes all time. They explain everything with a presentation. The cost is given at the end of the session if you want to join. It's based on your income or you get discounts if you are a full time student. I really don't want to give away the intro session away, so if you want to see what's it about go check it and sign up online. ~
