I've been a part of the Shambhala Meditation Center of Los Angeles community for 17 years. This place has become a second home. It's exciting to see a new location in Burbank after the closure of both the Eagle Rock and Mar Vista locations pre-pandemic. It will be nice to be able to meditate in group settings again! Thank you SMCLA!

Love the Shambhala center and the community! I showed up for group meditation randomly many years ago and I'm so glad I did. I've gotten so much over the years from learning to meditate and the classes they offer. Do yourself a favor and try it out!

This center offers an immensely positive, supportive place to learn and practice meditation. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable--most were trained directly by Tibetan meditation masters and have been practicing for over 20 years--and kind. Highly recommended!

I went to the meditation intro class last night, and it was exactly what I was looking for. The class starts at 7:30, and I arrived at 7:20. I have to say, I was quite nervous because I didn't know what to expect. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the night's host, who was sitting at a table of snacks with six other people. They all welcomed me, and most of them were first time visitors as well. At 7:30 we took our shoes off and went into the meditation room. The night's teacher spoke with use for a bit, lead us in a meditation, and then talked to us afterwards about our experiences. There were around 15 of us, and all there for various reasons. The class lasted until 9:00. If you're curious about meditation, or would just like a refresher, I'd highly recommend it.
