Looking for a recommendation for meditation classes in new york city. There are so many places offering classes it would be great to hear from anyone who has had any experience. I'm trying to avoid the whole commercialized experience with the health spa and yoga store I am looking for a teacher who is the real deal. My goal is to find someone who is a legend and well known for his/her success. I don't have any real idea about which techniques / schools I should be focusing on but I want to be able to train myself to quiet my mind, improve conciousness and concentration. Thanks
