I've had such a wonderful experience with Lotus Garden…read more I first started attending Gentle Yoga classes after a softball injury. The injury caused lower back issues and sciatica on the left side of my body. I couldn't walk for a month and a half and had to use a cane for 4-5 months thereafter. Lotus Garden has such a very intimate setting with instructors that are kind, knowledgeable and challenging. They have extra equipment on hand for newbies just learning yoga practices with a $15 drop-in fee. This place healed me and I am so grateful. I am no longer walking with a cane and my body is becoming stronger from the inside out. I now try to go 5 days a week and I'm looking forward to learning how to meditate through their free meditation classes.

Lotus Garden is a treasure trove in the Sacramento area! I…read morefeel like I've landed in a truly sacred space! Personally, I've studied yoga for about 15 years, primarily on what might be called "ashtanga" (8-fold path), and only recently have encountered a legit school of bhakti yoga. For me, bhakti is just such a direct path to my aims in ashtanga, that it's becoming obvious to me it's a "smart" investment of time. Lotus Garden is as SOLID an atmosphere for yoga as I could have possibly hoped (and honestly, way beyond my hopes!). I don't "push" this stuff, but most people would be wise to come!

I recently completed a Level II Reiki course with Carson and found the experience deeply…read moretransformative. Carson is a dynamic, perceptive teacher who skillfully cultivates a safe and supportive learning environment for his students. As a result, I left feeling very connected to everyone in the class. After three full days I emerged feeling both grounded and energized--confident in my practice and inspired to continue to learn and develop my reiki skills. I wholeheartedly recommend The Sacramento Reiki Center and Carson's exceptional instruction.

I enjoy SBMG which is very diverse. They have a different teacher each Sunday evening from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

This is a follow up review. I've read almost every Qigong book out there, watched all the youtubes,…read moreand have learned Qigong from multiple instructors in group classes. These all had some benefit, mostly relaxation. But none of these teachings offered me a true sense of Qi cultivation and most importantly actual noticeable health benefits. Asthma, anxiety attacks and back problems are no longer issues Im plagued with. Since learning Nei Dan meditation from Mindful Qigong. The thing that I did not realize is Qigong is a way of life not just a tool. What separates Mindful Qigong is it's a lineage based teaching. That teaches all aspects of the Dao, Qigong, philosophy, TCM, tea ceremony.... in private classes. This allowed me to understand the subtleties of the teaching in a way I could incorporate in my daily life. Leading to substantial results. Mindful Qigong focuses on cultivating your Qi internally and has little to do with breathing exercises or complicated movements. Honestly some of the techniques I thought were weird in the beginning. But that had more to do with my expectations of what Qigong was from my previous experience. As well as a lack of understanding of the basic fundamentals of real Qigong and TCM. Thankfully I stuck with it over the years. Just like anything really worth doing it takes time and energy. My life is much smoother, healthier and happier. Im truly grateful.

I'm very grateful to have found Qigong. I have been a "traditional" meditator for many years…read more After only a few months at Mindful QiGong my practice has expanded in ways I didn't think possible. I highly recommend this practice.

I ran CIM this December and was looking for a cold plunge spot open on a Monday (most races are on…read moreSundays) and this was one spot that was affordable and available so their cold plunge caught my eye. I booked the cold plunge for $20 and when I arrived the staff was so welcoming. The owner was there and asked if I needed coaching for cold plunge and I said yes. Her coaching and breathing exercises made this experience 10x better. I think I stayed in there for about 3 minutes. If you do the cold plunge definitely recommend you ask for coaching. The owner was so kind and even offered me a few minutes into the red light sauna. Can't wait to be back her again.

It's a divers and varied group here and the place offers meditation service for sober living people too. They have all kinda of free services, but they are a non-profit 5013c, which means they rely on donations from the public to survive and offer services. They host lots of special guests from India monasteries and offer access to their Lama (whom teaches occasionally) for Darshan (meetings w/the Lama for spiritual guidance).

The Llama is extremely nice and welcoming as well. It's a beautiful temple. My sister and brother in law go here regularly and when I'm in town, I tag a long with them. I took a few pictures before the service started. If you're looking for a Buddhist temple, I highly recommend this one they are always welcoming and always welcoming new parishioners. I forgot to add they have counseling and a few classes here as well. I believe they are starting a book club soon too.
