JONATHAN REYNOLDS

Jonathan Reynolds has trained with the White Lotus Foundation, Erich Schiffmann, and Spirit Rock Meditation Center.  He is currently enrolled in JFK University’s Graduate Counseling Psychology Program, and hopes to further integrate the practices of meditation, therapy, embodiment, and conscious relationship into his own life and work. 

Jonathan’s teaching is born out of a deep gratitude for the inner relief and freedom that his own practice has provided over the years.  Drawing on many wisdom traditions, his teaching and counseling sessions are centrally rooted in Buddhist Vipassana Meditation, the Classical Yoga of Patanjali, and the Nondual Advaita Vedanta teachings of Shankara.  Generally speaking, Jonathan’s teaching is greatly informed by his love of India, the cultural present and historical context of this sacred and enchanting land.  His manner of teaching meditation is greatly influenced by time spent in the presence of Jack Kornfield, whose wisdom has infused Jonathan’s voice with compassion, playfulness, and story. 

Jonathan is a founding teacher of the Learning To Listen Yoga & Meditation Center, a San Francisco-based Nonprofit Teaching Collective committed to offering tools that promote conscious living.  He is a husband and a father, and currently resides in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he offers private counseling sessions, teaches meditation and yoga, enjoys drinking tea, and leads retreats both locally and worldwide.
