Q:
Does anyone know which classes a super unflexible and totally new to yoga student should take for the 14 day trial? i def want to utilize it every day and make it a habit but dont know which classes are good. looking for fitness, meditation, form
A:
Hi! Any of our classes that have the word gentle or basic in them would be a great place to start! I think you'll find that our studio is a great place for beginners and you will quickly feel comfortable joining the "all levels" classes as well. :-)

I am mind blown that this beautiful serene meditation retreat is located in my hometown. My mind has been so chaotic that I've been wanting to wonder into different elements of spirituality. So far, it is only the beginning for me. Thus, meeting my instructor for the first time helped me feel welcomed. He was joyful and kind. I'll be back to continue more of where this new experience will take me.

I've had a LOT of "likes" on my review as well as people contacting me saying there are unethical, dishonest practices happening on Yelp, to keep this business at a 5 star rating. I'm sure my review will be taken down along with the rest of them after people comment Yelp sees my words. I don't think the point of having a review site is to only post the positive reviews. If somebody has a negative experience it is their right to be able to express their concerns as well. Very disappointing.

The Yin class was very relaxing and rejuvenating. They have a program for yogis new to Lotus Garden, it is $14 for unlimited yoga for 14 days. Pretty good deal, especially considering they even have Zumba. The new facility is gorgeous and organized, the owner and teachers are very polite and knowledgeable. I highly recommend checking out Lotus Garden Yoga!

If you are looking to learn about meditation or want to start attending yoga classes for overall wellbeing- This sanctuary for peace and serenity will have just what you are looking for. The property itself is so beautiful once you get there you may want to hang out by the coy pond underneath the gorgeous trees and enjoy the lovely sounds of the pond. Overall a wonderful place to find peace, relaxation, and connect with community.
I highly recommend staying informed as the Lotus Garden hosts alot of different cool events featuring live music and great food!
If only there were more places like this I wouldn't have to travel so far..You are lucky to live in Sacramento, because you'er closed to the lotus garden then I am.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0Business owner information

I attended my yoga teacher training and certification through Lotus Garden almost 20 years ago. My family and I just moved back to the area and are enjoying the many classes and programs online. We're anxious to attend in person again. I love that the meditation is family-friendly so my 5 and 8 year old can participate and enjoy. Uddhava and staff offer such a great support system and welcoming space for yoga and meditation practice for all ages. It's such a gem in the community - so highly recommended!

4.5 stars - but rounded up to five (since you can't do half stars!). You would never expect to find this studio tucked away in the suburbs off Lincoln Ave. Driving down the long driveway, you are instantly met with lots of trees and a hushed, serene feeling.
The yoga studio itself is to the left of the larger building with exposed wooden beams, a large painted Hindu-inspired mural and carpeted floors. There are lots of blocks, straps, blankets and eye pillows for all. I've only had two of the teachers here, Gena and Harsha. Gena works your core very hard while Harsha is more Hatha style. Both are excellent!
The meditation classes are free - they use a method of chanting and counting beads.
Located on a large property, this used to be a WWOOF location (it still might be) meaning World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. If you are a WWOOFer you may want to call ahead first to double check.
One small pet peeve - the center has a lot of garage sales, but without the garage sale prices! I find it ironic that the concept of "letting go" is not practiced.Helpful 14Thanks 0Love this 13Oh no 0 - Carter L.Fair Oaks, CA09Dec 28, 2020
This review is a bit overdue, but better late than never. I want to say a big thank you to Lotus Garden Meditation for making your free meditation classes and programs available online since August. During this challenging time of isolation, the meditation practices offered by Lotus Garden have literally saved me and my mind from going down a deep depressing dark hole. They showed me some simple meditation techniques with both breath and beads that I have been using everyday. The meditation gives me a deep inner peace and calmness that I have not felt for a long long time and I am very grateful. The teachers at Lotus garden are all very patient and knowledgeable and they even took the time to send me special meditation beads in the mail! I highly recommend Lotus Garden's meditation classes and programs for anyone looking for some inner peace and happiness.

Hi Carter, we are so glad to hear that our classes have helped you through this difficult time! I will pass your kind words on to our teachers :-)

Lotus garden is my favorite yoga spot in Sacramento. I had to move studios because of a new job, but I will continue to do drop in classes here anyway!
The room is big and clean, and the instructors are awesome. I love Gena and Andrea, and Sarah is great in the evenings too.
This is the spot if you are looking for a restorative practice that focuses on the breath! I can take my mom there, and yoga newbies are not intimidated or overwhelmed because the staff makes sure they are taken care of.
I wish the front room was bigger, but that's not their fault!
This place made me a yoga regular when I was in a dry spell for a long time. Thanks for bringing me back to the practice! Love all you ladies.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
