About Us

We’re Michael Miller and Jillian Lavender, founders of New York Meditation Center. We’ll teach you Vedic Meditation in a way that fits with your busy life.

We’re experienced (we’ve taught thousands of people and have been meditating for decades). We’re all about practical (you’re not going to get lots of ooby-gooby). And we’re normal (we’re parents and we’ve worked real jobs.)
