Coaching

Maxwell Popp
Meditation Teacher, Kriya Yogacharya
Passionate about the Dhamma

No matter where you are on your journey, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced a glimpse of the Dhamma—the natural order of the universe—that led you here. These undeniable truths, those “aha” moments of clarity, spark our desire to understand what’s really happening inside us. They reveal the Dhamma, not as a lofty concept, but as something alive and accessible in every moment.

When I teach Yin Yoga, I often tell my students: There’s no pose that will bring enlightenment. The real magic lies in relaxing the body to relax the mind. The same is true of rituals—no ritual can guarantee enlightenment. But here’s the good news: we can take a practical (and fun!) approach to self-discovery, with plenty of exciting moments of joy along the way.

If you choose to work with me, I’ll meet you where you are. Your life experiences are unique, and together, we’ll design a practice that fits your needs and helps you progress efficiently on the path.

I have deep respect for the teachings and wisdom of those who came before us, but let me be clear—this is not about guru worship. I believe we each carry the knowledge and karma of thousands of past lives. My focus is on helping you uncover the Dhamma within yourself, not on the accomplishments of others.

When you come to me for guidance, you can trust that I’ll draw on my experience and intuition to help you navigate the meditation process. Whether you’re struggling with challenges or curious about what you’re experiencing, I’ll help you make sense of it all.

I teach from the knowledge of my incredible teachers—Steve Lauer, Delson Armstrong, and others—but more importantly, from my own direct experience. I’ll never teach you something I haven’t walked through myself. Awakening isn’t about concepts (though they can help). It’s about firsthand experience. My goal is to guide you toward those moments of clarity and awakening for yourself.
