Meet Dave

Dave is a Vedic Meditation teacher based in Sonoma County with more than 17 years of daily practice and over a decade of formal training. He teaches a simple, effortless technique that helps people reduce stress, improve clarity, and feel more grounded in everyday life.

After logging roughly 3,000 hours of training—including an intensive, residential program in the foothills of the Indian Himalayas—Dave received personal authorization to teach from Mahamandaleshwar Thom Knoles, a leading representative of the ancient Shankaracharya tradition.

When he’s not teaching meditation, you’ll usually find him on a partner dance floor around the Bay Area, trying not to step on anyone’s toes while learning dance styles like Fusion, Zouk, Bachata, and Tarraxo.

Dave is committed to making Vedic Meditation accessible, practical, and enjoyable for people throughout Sonoma County, the North Bay, and anyone interested in learning this life-changing technique.
