THE RADIANCE SUTRAS MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING

Training Leaders

The Radiance Sutras® Meditation Teacher Training is led by Dr. Lorin Roche and Camille Maurine.

“Yoga is a living tradition. Lorin is on the front lines as a meditation teacher, a champion of natural meditation, of awakening consciousness everywhere, in all places, in all times. ”

— Shiva Rea, Samudra School of Living Yoga

Lorin Roche, PhD

Lorin was lucky enough to begin practicing asana, pranayama, and meditation in 1968, and he still feels like a beginner – every day. He was trained as a meditation teacher in 1969-1970 and has been sharing the delight ever since. Lorin is the author of six books, including Meditation Made Easy, Meditation Secrets for Women, and The Radiance Sutras. At the University of California at Irvine, his Master’s Degree work focused on the injuries and developmental crises provoked by meditation and opening the chakras. His Ph.D. research was on the language of inner experience in meditation - the way meditators describe their inner worlds. Dr. Roche is the founder of Instinctive Meditation, based on his extensive research and teaching an approach that is designed to match one's individual nature. He has served for many years as a faculty member of Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health, 1440 Multiversity, Esalen Institute, Loyola Marymount university and SAND Science and Nonduality. Lorin lives in Marina del Rey, California with his yogini shaktini wife, Camille Maurine.
