Inner Path Yoga Meditation Studio

Who we are…

Inner Path was founded in Ojai, California in 1981. Our founder/director, John Ernst, was inspired to create an organization that honored each of our souls, and taught, through yoga and meditation, a universal means of inward communion with Spirit. Both then and now, Inner Path remains dedicated to serving the wondrous soul that you are, and offers numerous means to inspire and inform.

What we do…

Through our many projects we endeavor to provide you with helpful blogs and information, useful and inspiring products, healing prayers, uplifting music and so much more. Our Center in Nevada City, California provides another avenue of service with wonderful classes, group meditations, a healing room, library and beautiful boutique. If you’re ever in the area, come on by.

Our core values…

Our sincere hope is that you find our offerings uplifting, beautiful, and helpful. They are offered with the vision of a life lived for one purpose—the upliftment of consciousness, individually and world-wide. May they assist you on the wondrous and unique path that is yours alone!
