I had an incredible session. I didn't know what to expect nor did I want to try to guess what it would be like. Just an open mind. I did the Friday After Dark session at 830 and it was a great way to bring the week to a close. It made for one of the longest weekends I can recall. In a good way! Time slowed to a crawl. So many times I remember looking at the clock only to be shocked that the minute hand moved so little, I thought more time had passed than really had. Will return. Absolutely. read more

This is not the meditation bar that was on Mesa years ago. Just want to warn anyone going to this new location on Wildridge Drive. I don't know if its new owners or not but this new place is a far cry from the old location. This new location is in a old business park that has seen better days. The place was hot when I walked in, the ac appeared to be a window unit maybe running in the back. After the person leading the class killed a roach that was headed for my purse should have made me run for the hills. Just don't expect a clean ac'd facility like it use to be on Mesa. Also Imwas disappointed in the wellness class that was for 30 min. I could lean much more from a book. It was really a joke. She was nice but nice didn't cut it. read more

I found Meditation Bar and Tracy at such a unique time in my life, in my awakening. I was having a very Clairsentient awakening and in extreme pain. I'd started getting myofascial bodywork done and started intentionally attending sound baths daily on my physical and emotional healing journey. This place and this work changed my life in many ways. I highly recommend sound healing to anyone looking to deepen their connection to themselves. Tracy and her entire team offer a safe, loving space where you are safe to surrender. read more

Have you ever felt trapped in your thoughts? I was drowning with negative thoughts and emotions. I couldn't make sense of how I was feeling and what I was going through, so I meditated at home and scheduled a few sessions with a counselor. Those things helped a little, but they weren't enough. One day, I was driving on Koenig Lane and saw the Austin Meditation sign so I scheduled an appointment and that night I became a member. In the beginning, I walked into the meditation center crying. Won and Lia didn't judge me, instead, they listened every time and were very supportive. I made a commitment to myself to discover who I really am and to become the type of person i desire to be. Won and Lia held my hand throughout this entire journey, I honestly couldn't have done this by myself. I would like to thank Won and Lia for motivating me when I wanted to give up and for sharing their knowledge and experiences with me. read more

Meditation is for everyone. I believe this to be true -- and I congratulate the Meditation Bar for creating a wonderful place for this. I've been exploring meditation for a while now, at home, on my own... but, what I really wanted was a place to go to meditate with others -- somewhere comfortable and inviting, welcoming to everyone. The Meditation Bar is just that. What's particularly cool is... you don't have to know anything about "how to meditate" to experience what they have to offer. Truth is, it's very simple -- just some quiet time, following a guided visualization, letting go of all those "mind monkey" worries, in the presence of others who want to do the same. Ahhh...

I came to meditation bar for some assistance in meditation because I have a hard time focusing on meditating on my own. I was a bit nervous as the class I attended was 30 minutes. Tracy's voice was very soothing. The class exceeded my expectations and it definitely didn't feel like 30 minutes. I believe that is how it should be. I left Meditation bar relaxed and with the ability to handle my tasks for the day with ease. I will be coming back. read more

A friend one shared this Zen proverb: "You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes every day -- unless you're too busy. Then you should sit for an hour." While it's a humorous, it's also true. The clarity and warmth and openness one feels going inside and meditating amidst the chaos of life is amazing. But sometimes, there isn't enough time, or so we think. Enter The Meditation Bar. I stopped by today for my first visit. The location is fairly new, but in an easily accessible part of town (Northwest Hills). I was greeted by Lauren and signed in, just like the helpful video showed online. Immediately one feels at ease by the clean aesthetic and organic materials. I always enjoy the feel of a cork floor under foot. After small talk with other friendly attendees, our guide, Morgan, assembled the room and we all took a spot that was comfortable to us. There is a wide variety of seating, so it was easy to relax and get comfortable. The Fundamentals class had a specific purpose, and I quite enjoyed the education. There was a reading to open, which helped the room focus on an area for your meditation. Many reminders on breathing and Morgan's casual style helped me look inward and remain in the present. We wrapped up with questions about the practice of meditation and small talk with other attendees in the waiting room. With a smile on my face and a skip to my step, my day looked brighter than ever. I highly recommend The Meditation Bar, especially if you are too busy. read more

It was not only relaxing but I could take the meditation into my every day life from here on and grow

Tracy is fantastic! After a rather tough week, I decided I could entertain the negative dialogue, or I could treat myself to some mindfulness and healing. The experience was from another realm of existence. I cant wait to go back! Sending Tracy positive and continuous vibrations! read more

The most relaxing, healing and cathartic experience ever. Marvelous instructors, welcoming comfortable and space. Phenomenal place

I recently discovered the Meditation Bar, and I am so much better for it. I have only dabbled in meditation, maxing out after 5-10 minutes, but I am able to meditate for the entire class with the wonderful teacher's guidance. I have only taken classes from Krista, and she is wonderful. I have gone three days in a row, and I just bought an unlimited pass for the rest of January. Even if you've never meditated before, I would highly recommend any of their classes. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The singing bowls set this class apart from any other guided meditation I have ever done. You feel lighter, more connected to yourself, and ready for whatever life brings. read more

Kate was my instructor in a fundamentals class. What a fabulous experience!! It's been since college that I did any meditation, Kate reminded me in class that we do it all the time on some level...you need to have her explain it. I felt such a peaceful vibe when I walked in the door. You just gotta go get some of that. Dan Miguel sent me places I haven't been to in years with his sound "experience" that was after my class. Lauren Foreman made me feel like one of the gang, I fear yoga classes because...well, you know...that doesn't happen. Such a great way to detox from the things we seem to get ourselves into. read more

Mediation Bar has been life changing! Wonderful way to destress and meet new friends.

I visited the Meditation Bar while I was in town for a work trip. My meditation bar experience was incredibly relaxing and educational. Everything from the friendly greeting to the beautiful lighting in the meditation room was perfectly enjoyable. I highly recommend you experience it for yourself. I can't wait to visit again! read more

Meditation Bar - This is the first room you see as you walk in the from door. - Meditation Centers Near Me - Austin, Texas

The Meditation Bar is fantastic. It is like going to the gym for your mind. Krista is an absolutely wonderful instructor and so very skilled and caring. There was a power outage during one of the group sessions she was conducting over the weekend and handled it so perfectly. The space is very tastefully decorated and the group sessions are really well sized. The provide all sorts of pillows, chairs, etc. The classes are generally 30 minutes long, which seemed like a long time to try and mediate but the time goes by so quickly and my mind is rested and I feel refreshed when I leave. Sign up for the monthly pass and you can go as often as you like. Trust me, you will love the Meditation Bar and leave each time more centered, focused and at peace. It is a great investment in yourself and encourage anyone to start working with them. read more

Wow - went for the first time today. What an experience! I will be returning later this week and plan on attending as much as I can in the future. It is a very comfortable setting and Krista is remarkable! read more

This was my very first time meditating. Well, except for that time I meditated with my Wii game. In that game, I couldn't last more than a couple of minutes without extinguishing the flame on the candle, so I had hopes that I'd perform much better in real life. I had no idea what to expect, and came in with a very open mind. Lauren (one of the owners) held a session just for me, as the business just opened up and I was lucky enough to have this amazing one-on-one session for what is called Happy-Hour meditation. Lauren took me on an amazing journey, exploring different levels of energy, light and consciousness in this transcending experience. The establishment is beautifully decorated, set up for maximum comfort for any patron with a wide selection of chairs, sofas, pillows and mediation floor chairs. No matter what's going on in your life, whether it's filled with happiness or if you need a little extra boost, I highly recommend taking a class at Meditation Bar. You won't regret it. read more

I visited the Meditation Bar for the first time today and had an excellent experience. Their attention to detail was obvious and the focus was on the comfort of every person who entered. The space is calming; as soon as you step through the doors your awareness of the outside world is lessened. The meditation room is spacious and lit with a lighting system that allows for changes in the brightness and color of the lights. There are floor chairs, regular chairs, a couple of couches and stacks of soft pillows for you to use. If the room is too cool, they offer shawls for you to use while you meditate. The lady who led our group described the path our meditation would take before we began, which was nice to know. Along the way she gave us tools to use if we were having trouble staying with the pattern of our breathing. She emphasized that there's no wrong way to meditate and allowed time for questions at the end of our session. The staff was friendly and helpful and approached everyone who came in to make them feel welcome and to let them know how much feedback is appreciated. If I lived near the Meditation Bar, I would definitely be a regular. I'm 200 miles away and hoping that they'll open up a location near me soon. read more

Such a great space! I took an "awake" class and it was better than a cup of coffee in the morning. Perfect way to start the day! I will definitely be going back. They use crystal bowls that really let me feel he energy even more and wake up my chakras. read more

I love Meditation Bar! It is small and intimate with a relaxing atmosphere. They offer a variety of meditation styles so you can experiment or pick and choose what you are in the mood for. Try classes that use iRest, aromatherapy, or the meditation bowls. Plus, lots of props to make your experience a comfortable one. Male and female teachers also an unusual plus. Until recently, they offered a variety of times from which to choose classes including evenings and weekends. But evening classes might return eventually. Many (maybe all) of the instructors, though skilled, are continuously training and bringing new things to their classes. The facility also offers special events several times each month and I have been introduced to several forms of meditation and instructors that I would not have tried otherwise and at reasonable rates. Check out the Singing Bowl Lady if you are searching for a good night's sleep! My only fear in writing this review is that the Meditation Bar becomes so popular that it looses its intimacy and becomes another crowded YogaYoga type facility for the masses. read more
