Where do I start?

Just start. It takes practice

Ironically, looking into adding meditation to your life can be quite overwhelming. We get it. There is a lot of information out there about meditation, mindfulness, the different types of meditation, and the benefits of meditation. And, oh so many options--apps, recordings, livestreams, self-guided.

The truth is, most people living in our culture are not naturally good at meditating. It takes practice to train our brains to quiet down and not demand stimulation. It takes a while to be able to just observe the sensations that arise when we unplug from the outside world and go within.

The truth is, it is not likely you will leave your first meditations blissed out and floating in the clouds. It takes practice, but the practice is so worth it.

Just start. It takes practice.

It is our mission to make meditation accessible. We don’t have beginning or advanced classes. Most of our classes are a combination of many types of meditation that work for beginners and masters.

So, pick a class that sounds interesting and just start.

Here are some more ways to get started:
