Your meditation questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do meditation classes cost near me?

Meditation classes cost $15 to $30 per person for a group session. One-on-one sessions cost $60 to $150 per hour for a more individualized experience. Some teachers offer online virtual classes for groups or individuals with ongoing monthly plans.

Higher prices apply for supplemental add-ons to enhance meditation, such as aromatherapy or sound baths with Tibetan singing bowls.

What should you expect at a meditation class?

Meditation classes typically start with an introductory talk. Then everyone closes their eyes and sits still. Classes can include a simple guided breathing technique to reduce stress and tension. If it's a guided meditation session, then the teacher speaks each instruction for focusing.

Note: The length of the silent pauses during the class will vary depending on the technique and style. Some meditation classes are in complete silence from beginning to end. Afterward, there may be a questions and answer session and light refreshments.

Why should you go to a meditation class?

  • A change of comfortable clothing if you're coming from the office
  • A meditation pillow, yoga mat, or bench to sit on
  • An eye mask if the lighting is distracting
  • A journal and pen to track insights

Donna Marie is so insightful! She listens carefully, asks the right questions and interjects the right comments that get me over the obstacle that is blocking my ability to see myself clearly enough to make progress . I look forward to our sessions together as each time we “meet” I know I will depart stronger and more self aware.

This 3 day experience has been life changing for me.  I have calmness, more clarity and peace as I relate in this world. I feel that the world can be more pleasant if this practice was taught as a course mandated in schools Kindergarten to 12th grades.  I am most proud that I have learned how to meditate in stillness and how to breathe for health and wellness.  Thank you all

Working with Taylor Casales has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. Taylor is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but he brings unmatched energy and motivation to every session. He pushes you to be your best while still being supportive, approachable, and genuinely invested in your progress. His training plans are personalized, results-driven, and effective—I’ve seen real, measurable improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall wellness. Beyond the physical results, Taylor inspires a mindset shift that stays with you long after the session ends. Great guy, great trainer, and an absolute force of positivity. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

I've been working with Alicia for a couple years now and she is a great energy to have in my life. I initially came to her because I needed to tap into more of my feminine energy, so we did some reiki and lots of Yin yoga. I feel flexible and strong, both physically and mentally! I highly recommend her!
