From the reviews
The Lotus Garden yoga Annex has a great space, and was easy to find. Sacramento is my home away from home and I always look forward to visiting the Lotus Garden and taking classes from the diverse group of instructors. I really enjoyed my morning class which set the tone for the rest of my day.
Just passing through Carmichael and decided to go try the yoga on Sunday at the Yoga Annex. It was very gentle, calming, peaceful, and restorative, pretty much all the yummy yoga poses. If you are looking for intensity this is not your class. I practice hot yoga in Sedona which is more intense.
OMG, my first yoga session ever today and I feel amazing. This was an introductory class so it was fairly easy stretches and holds, however by the time this 60 year old guy was done with the 1:15 minute session, I felt like I was floating.
I recently attended a workshop called "Unlocking the Spine" by Chantill Lopez focusing on releasing the fascia and connective tissue in our bodies. She is an amazing teacher!
New to tai chi? Start at Lotus Garden Yoga Studio
Lotus Garden Yoga Studio comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Lotus Garden Yoga Studio
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
