Most hosts in Montclair welcome people who have never done it before, and many say so in the listing. Most groups hold a mix of first timers and people who have been sitting for years. If you are new, look for a session described as beginner friendly, all levels, or an introduction. If you are pregnant or have a health condition, talk to your own healthcare provider first and tell the host before the session starts.

A wandering mind is normal, not a sign you are doing it wrong, and many people describe feeling clearer and less rushed afterwards. Nobody will put you on the spot and you can stop at any point, so arrive a few minutes early rather than rushing in.
