Meditation Course Testimonials

My experience at The Expanding Light, twice daily energization / yoga / meditation, nutritious and delicious food, and the energy of The Expanding Light reignited my personal spiritual practices, which, now two weeks later, I still maintain at a higher level than ever. Thank you!

– Terry Rhoades, Carson City, NV

I enjoyed everything! The food is wonderful, the sadhanas were inspiring and invigorating, the facilities were clean and welcoming, the staff is friendly, helpful and kind. I loved my class. I feel I can attempt meditation now on my own and then come back for “tune ups.”

– Kathryn Robertson

I very much enjoyed the peace and serenity. The staff was very special. I learned the connection between yoga and meditation and learned that I am not the only one who has difficulty meditating. Uma was fantastic in her ability to explain the concepts of matter - energy - spirit. I recommend the course “How to Meditate” to anyone with a desire for change from the world of matter to the world of the Spirit. This class is a great beginning.

The peace and love that pervades the entire community is testimonial (eloquent) to the workability of the philosophy you embrace. Refreshing, inspiring!

– Wilma Gore, Los Osos, CA

I rediscovered a peacefulness I had lost, my yoga improved, I met wonderful people, the instructors were wonderful, were beautiful people, and gave me the assurance from their modeling that I can continue to have the gifts I received here continue on in my life. I am grateful and appreciative for all their gifts of acceptance and love.

– Joanne Wolf, Culver City, CA

I love this place and keep it in my mind and heart as a place I go when I need refreshment.

– Stephanie O’Leary, Mountain View, CA

It is not easy to describe this experience. Obviously, I am on an inward spiritual journey, or I would not be here. This experience has helped me in my journey.

– Marsha L. Bloodworth, San Antonio, TX

The spirit soars here. If you have ever wondered what it would feel like to fly, come try your wings here.

– Beth Howard, Cheyenne, WY

My experience was very calming. I love that I feel free to do almost anything. The nature and the vegetarian food makes life complete.

– Philip Stert, Piedmont, CA

Our teacher kept a balance between teaching and leading us in practicing meditation and answering our questions, as we sought to understand yoga and meditation on our way to making meditation a “lifestyle.”

– John A. Nasstrom, Oakland, CA

Uma is an outstanding instructor and an asset to The Expanding Light. Sahaja, who taught the Restorative Yoga class was also outstanding. Both instructors were extremely professional and patient with questions and truly seemed to enjoy their work.
