Siddha Yoga Meditation Center

I used to go here years ago and enjoyed the chants very much. I never became a member, but have attended several meditations which I found very peaceful, relaxing and uplifting.

First lets get the technicalities out of the way to answer your nawing first timer questions!
Parking is on the roof; the ground spots are for the businesses.
I definitely reccomend getting there at 7pm for their scheduled orientation. Orientation aka nommy, 10 $, cruelty free, blessed dinner with a (literally) mouth watering dessert and friendly people in the know to chat with and/​or ask Q’s of.
Tuesdays and Saturdays the chanting meditation starts immediately after din and is on time so 7:30pm, bring a wrap of some sort, A/​C is utilized and I think covering your shoulders is a reverance sort of thing to. Though they do have shawls you can borrow if you forgot yours but why add to their laundry duty ;p
Yoga follows and you’re out the door and back to your dailies by 9, spiritually and physically soaked, scrubbed and revitalized!
Okay, so here’s why the Siddha Yoga Center deserves 5 stars over and over and over again.
The people are so lovely and welcoming and peaceful and you feel the same after spending the evening with them.
The building is lovely and just oozing good vibes and the chapel puts you in a place of awe as you step inside.
The chanting and instrumentals were absolutely beautiful! My previous exposures to chanting had all been surreal exposures to the mentally unwell but this place was the exact oposite! You will leave feeling more sane than you may have ever felt sober.
Personally, I went in on one of those days where you just feel a little off, a little uncomfortable. I left feeling real and true and totally at peace.
I’d previously attained the experiences and knowledge to unlock the ability to see auras but you know staying zen is hard! When I went in that beautiful Tuesday, I was observing only the trace inch around my fellow Los Angelers but by the time that sacred, uplifting chanting ended I was enjoying seeing over four inches of the surrounding energies that we emit!
Wow, I felt great!
Unfortunately, I had a previous appointment to make and couldn’t stay for their yoga. But I will definitely be back for more soul nourishing love and I’ll update with a review for the yoga when I do but I honestly can’t imagine how it could be any less than stellar as well!

I came here looking for yoga classes and ended up coming here for the meditation and chanting which is so peaceful. It’s about an hour of chanting and 30 min of meditation. Very different from my catholic religion. It’s definetely a spiritual path for me. Siddha yoga taught me how to meditate, the mantra here is Om Namah Shivaya, which means «I bow to my true inner self» This place just teaches you to love yourself through meditation and finding peace within.
