Charu Uppal

A lifelong practitioner of meditation, formal training began in 2010 through The Art of Living (Sahaj Samadhi), requiring daily discipline to quiet the mind and access inner potential. In 2011, an award-winning Peace Revolution scholarship led to an intensive two-week retreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand, fostering a deep connection with fellow agents and solidifying a long-term commitment to mindfulness. Meditation is integrated into both personal life and professional practice. While the standard remains twenty minutes twice daily, shorter practices are utilized when time permits. In the classroom, instruction begins with a two-minute silence to introduce students to the effortless art of letting go. This approach emphasizes that connecting with one's vastness positively influences all aspects of existence.
