Meditation at Elevate

Practice Being Present

Meditation creates dedicated time to slow down, focus attention, and notice thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and breath with greater awareness.

The goal is not necessarily to "empty your mind." Instead, meditation offers a way to practice returning your attention to the present moment with curiosity and less judgment.

What You May Practice

Each meditation class has its own focus, but sessions may draw from several mindfulness and relaxation practices.

Mindfulness

Practice bringing attention to your present experience with greater awareness and curiosity.

Breath Awareness

Use guided attention to the breath as an anchor for focus, relaxation, and present-moment awareness.

Body Awareness

Notice physical sensations, tension, comfort, posture, and other signals from the body.

Rest & Reflection

Create intentional space to pause, reflect, and step away from the pace of everyday life.

Meditation Classes

Learn about our meditation offerings below. Current sessions appear in the schedule when registration is open.

Guided Meditation

A guided mindfulness practice that may include breath awareness, body awareness, visualization, reflection, or other techniques for cultivating presence and attention.

Designed to be approachable for both new and experienced participants.

Sound Bath Meditation

A restorative experience using sound and sustained tones to create an environment for stillness, listening, relaxation, and reflection.

Participants typically rest comfortably while experiencing the sound practice.

Seasonal & Rotating Practices

Additional mindfulness, relaxation, breath, or contemplative practices may be offered throughout the year.

What to Expect

Guided Practice

Your instructor will help guide the session so you do not need to know how to meditate before you arrive.

Find a Comfortable Position

Depending on the practice, you may meditate seated, lying down, standing, or with gentle movement.

Practice at Your Own Pace

Meditation is a practice, not a performance. Distraction is normal, and there is no expectation that your mind remain perfectly still.

What to Bring

Comfort matters. What you bring may vary depending on the specific practice.

Comfortable Clothing

Wear clothing that allows you to sit, lie down, or move comfortably. Layers can be helpful.

For Guided Meditation

You may wish to bring a journal and something to write with if reflection is part of the session.

For Sound Bath

Consider bringing a personal mat or pad, blanket, pillow, eye covering, or other comfort items that help you rest comfortably.

Meditation classes are generally held at Elevate Wellness & Performance.

121 College Parkway

Meditation FAQs

I've never meditated before. Can I still attend?

Yes. Meditation classes are designed to be approachable for beginners as well as people with an established practice. Your instructor will guide you through the session.

Do I need to clear my mind?

No. Thoughts and distractions are a normal part of meditation. The practice often involves noticing when your attention has wandered and gently returning it to the breath, body, sound, or another point of focus.

What is the difference between Guided Meditation and Sound Bath Meditation?

Guided Meditation generally uses spoken instruction to support practices such as mindfulness, breath awareness, visualization, or body awareness.

Sound Bath Meditation uses sound as the central experience, with participants typically resting and listening rather than following continuous spoken guidance.

Do I have to sit on the floor?

Not necessarily. Depending on the practice, participants may sit in a chair, sit on the floor, lie down, or use another comfortable position. Contact Elevate if you have specific access or positioning questions.

What should I bring?

Wear comfortable clothing. For Guided Meditation, you may wish to bring a journal. For Sound Bath Meditation, a mat or pad, blanket, pillow, eye covering, or other comfort props may be useful. Review the specific class information when registering.
