Been coming here for over 2 years now and it has been that one place that I feel completely peaceful and at ease...the staff is warm and professional. With Covid, they closed the doors to customers temporarily. Good news is they are instead providing meditation classes on-line until this whole thing finally blows over. Thank you for that!!! So I can continue my classes from home. One cool thing they added is a pretty awesome sleep meditation class. It works. After I finish the class, I fall asleep so easily. No thoughts. Peaceful. Thank you.

They show you how, thru their meditation method, how to live more in the moment and stop living in a world of anxiety and stress. Very beneficial.

Sunny Street was recommended to me by a yoga instructor who advised that Sunny Steet has…read moreinstructors (Lilian and Blake) that incorporate Ashtanga into their classes, and I had to check it out. They have a nice variety of classes and instructors, cap each class at 10 people total, and is non-heated (which I personally prefer). The first time it's hard to find, as it's nestled back behind the complex of businesses, but parking is easy and it's super accessible. It's no-frills, no gimmicks, just real yoga, in a cheery, bright, and cozy location with kind staff.

Sunny Street Yoga is the studio I have been looking for! There are so many things I like about this…read morestudio - I'll address them in the order of things that appeal to me most. First, Sunny Street limits class sizes to 10. I LOVE that classes never feel crowded, and I never have to rush to get there too early for a spot. Additionally, I never have to worry about the potential awkwardness of touching strangers accidentally in class. (Okay, there are certainly worse things, but this is so awkward, right?!) Next, this is truly a studio that offers many styles of practice. If you are looking for strength and stamina, you can find it. If you are looking for restoration and meditation, you can find it. If you are looking for a flow that combines the two, yep - you can find it. Like an earlier reviewer, I am LOVING the Ashtanga classes. Additionally, all levels of practice are welcomed. Props are readily available, and modifications and enhancements are offered for many asanas. In my experience, classes typically have participants that reflect a range of experience levels. All are welcomed and encouraged. I have never seen anyone pushed beyond their comfort level. All instructors I've practiced with (I have been to classes offered by five different instructors) have been incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, and encouraging. I regularly sign up for classes with all of them as my schedule allows. Sunny Street has a handy app for class registration. All classes require registration in advance, and the app makes it so easy to check out the schedule and register for classes. It is super user-friendly. You can also monitor the number of participants who have registered for upcoming classes. Sunny Street also offers other wellness classes and special events, such as book clubs, circles, and general wellness events. They also sponsor events in the community, such as Friday morning yoga at the Forum. There appear to be a number of opportunities to connect with other people who practice at the studio if you are interested in doing so. Finally, it is easy to get in and out of - open parking lot and close to a number of neighborhoods. Classes are affordable and membership is a great value! I highly recommend a visit. Did I mention that they have great offers for visiting guests? Check them out on social media or their website for more details. See you at the studio!

I've only knew…read moreabout Theravada Buddhism, which is practiced mainly in SE Asia - Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Sri Lanka (not SE Asia but still). Tibetan Buddhism is unique since it's sort of still Mahayana Buddhism but can be categorized as Vajrayana Buddhism. I never really understood Theravada Buddhism. My husband is Cambodian and I have a lot of Laotian friends. I've attended their temples and didn't understand it. What I love about Vajrayana Buddhism is how beautifully colorful it is to teaching you self-love and meditation. Everyone is invited. Free meditation sessions every Sunday from 11 am - Noon. Donations accepted. Gift shop with beautiful souvenirs. Everyone is very welcoming. The first three rows are for those who want to sit down on floor level to meditate. There are pillows for comfort. I sat in the front, in the middle. The monk is very well articulated and spoke with a little humor. What he speaks about is "common sense" but it will make you think again. About your life. About what it means to live. Towards the end, there was a 20ish minutes session of meditation to clear your mind. I love it! I plan to more and often again. Everyone should take time for self-love. 252/2019

She places zen meditation bowls along your spine to balance chakras (you are fully clothed with option of having warm blanket over you). I found it to be much more relaxing than a massage and it also calms the mind as you soak in the the zen bowl sounds. It's hard to explain the full extent of the physical, emotional and spiritual healing that occurs during these sound therapy sessions but it is powerful. I left feeling as though tensions and stress I'd held in my back and shoulders for years had vanished. Marina is gifted, wise and passionate about her work. Visit and see for yourself!

I have experienced many shifts in my life since joining this group. My physical and emotional health have greatly improved, people see changes in me and always ask "what are you doing?". My stress levels have minimized and so many of the worries I had in the past have just beautifully fallen away. I feel much more tuned in, aware and alive. In a time when we can often feel helpless in a world with so much going on, I am sincerely grateful to gather with this group weekly to focus our energies in blessing the Earth with peace, love, compassion, kindness and good will for all. As a result, I experience a different life where I find so many more of these gifts in my daily encounters through my willingness to participate. I highly recommend this meditation to all but especially to those who may have tried to meditate and had difficulty. Twin Hearts is a divine gift of love with wonderful healing benefits, make time, you deserve this - we all do.
