Arden Martin
Co-Founder & Teacher
While working as a burnt-out school teacher, Arden learned Vedic Meditation. Over the next ten years, she experienced a profound shift in her stress, anxiety, and relationship with the world at large. After a year-long teacher training intensive and two pilgrimages to India, she shifted her focus to sharing Vedic Meditation with others.
As a mother, Arden has found meditation to be an indispensable tool for cultivating the connection and inner stability that parenting demands. Arden is passionate about teaching people how to find more ease in their lives while riding the waves of the human experience. She lives and teaches in Central New Jersey.
Rick Little
Co-Founder & Teacher
Rick was introduced to Vedic Meditation over a decade ago while living the fast-paced and demanding life of a senior executive at a high-profile NYC nonprofit. The demands of his work were beginning to take their toll, and he was grateful to find a practice that made him feel more energized, creative, and fulfilled in every aspect of his life.
After learning this effortless practice, Rick discovered that the mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits he received from his longtime yoga practice are also available every time he closes his eyes to meditate.
Two years into his journey with Vedic Meditation, Rick was inspired to become a teacher in order to share this simple yet powerful practice and its life-changing benefits with others. He splits his time between NYC and the Pocono mountains and teaches in both locations, as well as offering occasional courses in Michigan, Washington State, and other parts of the country.
