Lorin Roche

Lorin grew up on the beaches of Southern California - Malibu, Ventura, and San Onofre - bodysurfing, surfing, diving and sailing. In 1968, while a freshman at the University of California, he signed up to be part of a research project on the physiology of meditation, and it was there he first heard the luminous and startling teaching of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, a classic yoga text describing 112 meditation practices. It was love at first listening.

It was clear from the research that meditation is a spontaneous and natural human experience, and that there are many doorways into meditation. Each individual may be called to one or more of these hundred-plus practices. Lorin was trained as a meditation teacher in 1969-1970 and began giving instruction in meditation on college campuses, in businesses, hospitals, military bases, private homes, churches, and even high school campuses.

For the last 45 years, Lorin's passion has been to help people find the meditation techniques that truly suit their inner nature, and coach them to thrive in the practice, year after year. Lorin is the author of Meditation Made Easy (HarperOne), Meditation Secrets for Women (HarperOne, written with his wife Camille Maurine), and The Radiance Sutras (Sounds True).
