Our gatherings are 4-12 people.

Not much! Mats, pillows, yoga blocks, Back Jack chairs, leg bolsters, tea, and water are all provided by us. We want you to have as relaxing and seamless an experience as possible.

If you tend to get cold when you meditate, consider bringing a blanket, and if you’d like to journal, please bring a writing utensil and something to write on.

You may cancel free of charge up to 2 hours before. Members, if you cancel within 2 hours, you’ll be charged $15. If you miss class without canceling, the no-show fee is $20. Non-members simply lose their credit.

If you have a true emergency, we would like to know so you don’t get charged. Please contact us at info@pauseandpurpose.com.

There is a free parking lot across the street from the studio.

For our regular classes, we recommend ages 15 and over, since occasionally sensitive topics may arise.

We do! One of our mentors is a childrens’ mindfulness facilitator and can be booked for private groups and classes. We also welcome our members to bring their kids for our quarterly solstice and equinox celebrations where we have crafts and meditations for all ages. We also are frequent contributors to the Get Growing activity booth at the Westport Farmers Market.

Our studio operates on a 10-minute grace period policy for late arrivals, after which the door will be closed, ensuring a punctual and seamless experience for all participants.

All of our offerings are meant for all levels! You are encouraged to ask questions and go at your own pace. But if you feel like you'd like some extra support, please let us know!

Absolutely! If you have a class booked, feel free to take 15 minutes before or after your gathering to soak in the space.

100% in person, ya'll!

Pause + Purpose is a non-religious company. We present our programming from a neutral and scientific mindfulness-based meditation approach with concrete applications. While some of our teachers may make reference to abstract, esoteric, or religious aspects of meditation practice, we aim to shed light on all faiths, beliefs, modalities, and cultures in a curious and non-biased manner.

While many of our wellness providers are trained counselors, therapists, and clinicians, our meditation groups are not meant to be a replacement for personalized medical care. We are here to provide you with new tools, but any change or discontinuation of therapeutic, psychological, psychiatric or other medical treatment should be undertaken with the direct supervision and guidance of a medical or other specialist mental health clinician.

Meditation does not cause mental health or psychiatric disorders. Occasionally, it may bring up latent trauma, which can trigger strong, seemingly overwhelming, thoughts and emotions. Meditation may offer an opportunity to recognize, release and transcend these states. However, if there is a mental health condition, a participant may feel overwhelmed and additional medical and psychiatric support may be required.
