# Metropolitan Meditation Studios 'MNDFL' Creates Space for Achieving Peace of Mind in NYC By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-02-01 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meditation-studio References: [instagram](https://www.instagram.com/p/BAuoraYm5s3/?taken-by=mndflmeditation) & [mndflmeditation](http://mndflmeditation.com/) 'MNDFL' is an urban meditation studio set in the heart of busy New York City. In order to make the practice of meditation easily accessible in a place where it is needed most, MNDFL offers a number of classes with a focus on themes like sleep, breath, intention and movement. Securing a space on a mat begins at a price of $10, which seems like a small price to pay for the guided 30-45 minute classes, the techniques and the peace of mind that will be imparted. When classes are not scheduled to be in session, MNDFL is also a place where members and non-members can drop by anytime to find a quiet sanctuary for their own self-practice. Along with services that cater to physical health, people are seeking solutions that will help them work towards mental and emotional wellness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.3/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Urban Meditation Studios:** Creating dedicated spaces in busy urban areas for people to practice meditation and achieve peace of mind. - **Accessible Meditation Classes:** Offering affordable and guided meditation classes to make the practice easily accessible to a wider population. - **Mental and Emotional Wellness:** Increasing demand for services and products that focus on improving mental and emotional wellbeing. ### Who This Affects Most - **Health and Wellness:** Opportunity for businesses to expand offerings to include meditation services and products for overall wellbeing. - **Real Estate:** Opportunity for developers to incorporate meditation studios and quiet spaces into urban building designs. - **Fitness and Recreation:** Opportunity for gyms and fitness centers to include meditation classes as part of their offerings to cater to holistic wellness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Calmness-Promoting Mindfulness Classes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindfulness-classes.md) - [Meditative Fitness Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lagree-plus.md) - [Sound-Proof Meditation Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/headspace-pod.md) - [Virtual Meditation Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoame-1.md) - [Culturally Inclusive Meditation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roundglass-meditation-app.md) - [Mental Relaxation Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mind-oasis.md) - [Mindful Wellness Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blissland.md) - [Tranquil Retail Environments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neom-wellbeing.md) - [Personalized Meditation Sessions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bliss-brain.md)
