"I came to Josh's class feeling extremely stressed from work, with the stress levels effecting every aspect of my life very detrimentally.  I did not really know what to expect, but expected to learn a morsel towards meditating, and to think that most of what we did would maybe not be applicable.  I was wrong.  The course was pragmatic.  Josh gives you the hints, the tools, the easy to follow road map.  He encourages, and follows up with you.  I was surprised at how vaulable even a short five session course was for me.  And how Josh taught, and led the class in a way that gave me immediate ability on a fundamental level to use meditation to make a difference in my life at work as well as home."
