Who is Light Watkins?

Light Watkins is an American meditation teacher, author, and speaker known for helping people simplify mindfulness and personal growth. He grew up in Alabama and first worked in advertising before moving to New York City to pursue modeling. During that time, he discovered yoga and meditation, which sparked a deep interest in inner well-being and spiritual practice. He later studied meditation in the Vedic tradition, including time in India with a meditation teacher, and eventually began teaching meditation in Los Angeles. Watkins gained recognition for his approachable style and has since taught workshops, retreats, and keynote talks around the world. He is the author of several bestselling books, including Bliss More, The Inner Gym, Knowing Where to Look, Travel Light, and The Year You Transform, all focused on mindfulness, happiness, and living with greater presence.
