With more than 25 years of dedicated study, Linda Hochstetler brings depth, clarity, and lived experience to her teaching. Her background includes extensive training in mindfulness meditation, beginning in the 1990s with Jon Kabat-Zinn, as well as years of study in Vajrayana Buddhism under Namgyal Rinpoche from 1995 until his passing in 2003. She has also received permission to teach within the Namgyal lineage and continues her studies in Vajrayana Buddhism with Qapel.
Her teaching is shaped by long-term practice, authentic lineage, and a thoughtful approach that invites students to explore meditation with steadiness and openness. Participants can expect guidance grounded in tradition, supported by a calm and attentive presence that is well suited to both newcomers and experienced practitioners.
