The Times Square Alliance was holding eight free, mind over madness classes. Its President, Tim Tompkins, led the first class.
"So it really is this metaphor for the larger challenges of our lives. How do we stay present, how do we stay focused with all the distractions," he said.
Tompkins told 1010 WINS reporter Roger Stern that the event allowed participants to move into a different state of mind even amid the business of Times Square.
"I am struck at how it actually is possible in the midst of all this busyness to get yourself into a different state of mind," he said.
