Do I need to bring anything with me?
No, you don’t need to bring anything with you, except an open mind. Some people choose to bring their own pillows or cushions, which is fine, but each one of our centers has cushions and chairs to choose from. When you arrive at any one of our centers, you can check in at the front desk to pay the class fee, and then proceed to hang your coat up and take off your shoes before making yourself comfortable in the meditation space.
