Tony Saccardi

Tony is a certified Emotional Intelligence coach and meditation teacher with a deep foundation in both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience. He holds multiple certifications in EI and meditation, and has also mentored new emotional intelligence coaches. His approach draws from decades of contemplative practice — including Gurdjieff’s 4th Way — and over ten years of training in method acting, where he explored the body-based roots of emotion and awareness. Tony teaches that emotional intelligence isn’t just a skill — it’s a path of conscious presence. Drawing from the Goleman EI framework and traditional meditation practices from the Yoga schools of India, he helps students deepen self-awareness, build resilience, and connect with others through genuine empathy. Tony’s work blends theory and embodiment, encouraging students to not only understand their emotions, but to observe and transform them through attention. For him, meditation is not about escape — it’s how we wake up, remember ourselves, and bring more presence into everyday life.
