The Method Is Not The Path.
The Teacher Is Not The Teacher.
Behind every practice I share is:
* lived experience
* years of training
* monastic discipline
* teaching experience.
What follows is an overview of the studies and experience that shape my approach today – as both teacher and student.
The story of my path gives a sense of why I teach. This page offers the how: the education, certifications, and professional experience that have informed my work, each a step that has shaped how I guide others today.

I enjoy the exercises Gyanpriya uses to train our brains. It has helped me to meditate more easily in my home practice now.
-Melissam Vlahos – Artist
Her gentle voice and the serene atmosphere she creates for meditation classes allow me to drift into silence easily.
I always leave class feeling relaxed, peaceful and grounded.
