Lisa Klein

Since 2003, Lisa Klein has been working to introduce people of all ages to the power of meditation.  As someone who grew up as an introvert and experienced a great deal of anxiety, she discovered meditation as an undergraduate student and quickly realized that meditation enabled her to be more relaxed, more self-assured, and happier. 

​

During her 23-year career as a high school English teacher, department chair, and university instructor, she witnessed first-hand the high levels of stress and teacher burnout of her colleagues as well as the growing number of students who suffer from stress and anxiety.

​

In 2008, she completed her doctorate at Duquesne University focusing her research on the effects of meditation on teachers.  Her research indicates that meditation both helps teachers to deal with the stress of teaching, while also fostering their self-actualizing qualities leading to greater creativity and positivity in the classroom.  

As a certified meditation teacher, Dr. Klein has been teaching meditation privately and conducting workshops since 2003. In addition to being a teacher of Vedic meditation, she is also certified to teach mindfulness meditation through the Mindfulness Association of the UK. 

 

A certified teacher of both the Mindfulness Based Living Course (MBLC) and the Mindfulness Based Living Course—Young Adult (MBLC—YA), she can provide group instruction to adults and adolescents which includes a blend of informal and formal mindfulness practices.

Dr. Klein also holds a Master of Science in Mindfulness Studies from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland.
