Meet your Teacher
Since 2004, Yonah has been guiding people from pain to peace and from there to thriving as a Counselor, Coach, Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, and Business Wellness Consultant. Yonah studied Behavioral and Social Psychology and received five years of Humanistic Counseling training from a psychologist taught by Carl Rogers, the key founder of the approach. Yonah has worked with thousands of clients from all walks of life, helping them move beyond inner blockages and optimize their lives. Yonah began his career working for several years as a counselor in emergency shelters supporting teen victims of abuse and neglect struggling with mental health and behavioral issues. In his second counseling role, he took a counseling position in a shelter he lived in for most of his senior year of high school to pay forward the gift he was given, a life worth living—to show the often lost and hopeless teens that if he could make it, they could too. Today, Yonah brings his expertise to businesses and organizations, teaching Mindfulness, Meditation, and Holistic Health. His clients include U.S. House of Representatives, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, Amtrak, The National Science Foundation, and Georgetown University. He also trains and facilitates private groups including Young Presidents Organization (YPO) and Edlavitch Jewish Community Center of Washington, DC. He also shares public offerings such as online trainings and courses and has designed programs for Insight Timer and Insight Meditation Community of Washington, DC (IMCW). As a coach, Yonah primarily supports business owners, executives, and entrepreneurs in breaking free from mental, emotional, and behavioral barriers to their desires. By synthesizing practices from wisdom traditions, modern science, and his own insights, he helps clients unlock peace, purpose, joy, and bliss. His work is rooted in deep listening and tailored guidance to meet each client’s unique needs. Yonah has been studying, practicing, and teaching Mindfulness and Meditation for three decades. He learned from disciples of Sri Chinmoy and Dr. Tara Brach in Washington, DC and other luminaries in person and through continuous self-study and application. He has completed multiple Vipassana courses under S.N. Goenka, based on teachings of the Buddha rooted in 25 centuries of tradition alongside other extensive Mindfulness and Meditation trainings to expand his awareness and increase his effectiveness in imparting wise teachings supporting peace and freedom. Yonah leads drawing from thousands of hours of study, practice, instruction, and facilitation of Mindfulness and Meditation. Yonah blends Western science and psychology with ancient Eastern and intuitive practices. His positive, holistic approach works with the fundamentals of the whole person. Teaching from the core principle that we create our reality, Yonah helps people hone their personal power through mental, emotional, and physiological state shifting practices. Yonah helps people improve the quality of their lives through Mindfulness, Meditation, changing thinking and behavioral patterns, and practical action.
