In this practical meditation class, you’ll learn simple meditation techniques and ancient wisdom that help you calm your mind, break metal habits and respond more wisely to pressure. No theory overload, just tools that you can use immediately — at work, at home, or anywhere in the city that pulls at your attention. Leave feeling clearer, steadier, and more in control.

This meditation class will allow you to truly relax and de-stress so you can return to your day feeling clear-headed and refreshed. A typical session includes a short talk and a guided breathing meditation with the topics listed below.
