Anand
Anand is a meditation teacher, martial artist, and world-traveling poet. He specializes in providing one-on-one and small group meditation trainings in the DC, Memphis, and San Francisco areas. First learning yogic meditation and posture from his father, the son of a Vedanta educator, it was in his teens that Anand developed a passion for meditation inspired by a connection with Nature and the guidance of his primary teacher, Dr. B Bayard- a Taoist practitioner and physician.
Anand is skilled in the forms of Yang Family Tai Chi Chu’an, Tai Chi Sheng Gong, Tai Chi Chi Gong, Wuji Yuan Gong, Iron Shirt Chi Gong, and Empty Standing Chi Gong. He is a certified meditation instructor for the Healing Tao (500 hr) and Cultivating Emotional Balance Project (180 hr). Rooted in the Taoist tradition, Anand’s courses emphasize the development of an embodied, meaningful meditation practice informed by experience, investigation, and an appreciation of Nature.
