I offer life coaching, relationship counseling, and private or group instruction for meditation from ancient India. I also lead workshops Success and Happiness Through Yoga Principals, stress management, increased productivity, and just being happy!
It’s not what we are doing that matters so much as how we are doing it. Sometimes a slight shift in attitude can open our eyes to huge opportunities that otherwise might remain hidden.
I founded the Ananda Meditation Center in the South Bay area of Los Angeles in 2001 and served as its spiritual director and principal instructor for over 9 years. I currently work for The Expanding Light Yoga & Meditation Retreat which is located within a spiritual community called Ananda Village in the beautiful Sierra Nevada foothills of northern California. I also lead meditation classes in Grass Valley. The deeply spiritual-yet-scientific teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and his direct disciple Swami Kriyananda are the source of all I have mentioned above, and it is with greatest respect and gratitude to my guru and his direct disciple that I offer these teachings to you.
I am not a Master or a Guru, just a person who enjoys sharing with others.

Hello, I know you from Twitter (I’m PhebeK).
Just wanted to say how much I’m moved by your blog. I especially like the pieces about Non-Lying. Really, I like & appreciate your spirit that comes through in awareness, honesty, & gratitude.
Thank you!

Dear Phebe,
Thanks for the feedback. I just reworked my menus and links so if you bookmarked anything, things may be different.
I’m so happy you enjoyed what you read. Keep in touch. There’s more on the way.
peace,

Hello Turiya,
I just wanted to thank you and Ashleigh for being so welcoming. I had a great time, for a lack of better words, last night. I look forward to attending another meditation Meetup.
I just wanted to let you know that your guiding was extremely effective for me; and that from the moment I walked into the room, I felt like I was in the right place.
Thank you for sharing your personal story regarding the early stages of your spiritual journey, several things about it really resonated with me.
Have a great week and perhaps I’ll see you all soon again in Torrance.

Hi Nicole,
I’m glad you enjoyed the meditation and discussion. I really enjoyed those too. We live at Ananda now. Maybe you’ll do a retreat up here some time. I know there is a good one happening down your way in January with a couple of dear friends of mine, Gyandev and Diksha McCord. I think you would appreciate them. Here is a link to their website:
I would love to hear how you’re doing.
Blessings,
turiya
