Light Watkins
Meditation Teacher, Founder, and Author in Santa Monica
My life took an unexpected turn when I was 29. I was invited to a meditation talk where I met the man that would have the biggest influence on my life, Thom Knoles, my meditation teacher, guru and mentor. I studied with him for several years before joining him in India to train to become a meditation teacher myself. Since 2008 I've been traveling the world teaching meditation to people from all walks of life. In 2014 I published my first book, The Inner Gym, and founded The Shine, a community event centered around inspiration. I love meeting new people and making new connections.
