Here in New York, no wellness trend can truly claim legitimacy until it is neatly packaged into the form of a boutique drop-in studio—something that busy city dwellers can slip into their schedules in between a trip to Juice Generation for a green smoothie and their appointment at the or bar.

The latest wellness trend to receive the boutique treatment is meditation. Once a foreign-sounding art practiced by a devout few, meditation is now flooding into the mainstream in the form of ,  and . As of this November, it will also take the form of : a modern, -designed drop-in studio on Eighth Street in Greenwich Village.

Just like how on-the-go fitness fiends might drop into Y7 or Sky Ting for a quick yoga session, New Yorkers will be able to drop into MNDFL for a 30- or 45-minute guided meditation, led by one of the studio’s 25 certified teachers whose backgrounds encompass a variety of ancient meditation traditions. Clients can also schedule one-on-one guided meditations, or drop in for self-guided meditations when classes are not in session.

The purpose of the studio is to make meditation more accessible, the MNDFL team told the Observer. All classes are non-denominational, jargon-free and based around relatable ideas like stress management or coping with work-related issues.
