Work Well @ Meditation Bar

On-site, online, or on-demand wellness experiences that strengthen your team from the inside out

“ I found a way to be the boss of my brain with meditation.”

—Cathy Bonner
Former Executive Director of the Texas Department of Commerce and Meditation Bar Co-Founder

Studies show that meditation can actually change how the brain processes information and manages the effects of stress, depression, and anxiety. Many companies have turned to meditation to help their employees feel better and work better by offering virtual or on-site meditation.
