Linda Modaro

I have been studying various types of meditation since 1987, starting in Atlanta with Qi Gong and Tai Chi. In 1989 I moved to Santa Monica to pursue a Master's Degree in Acupuncture and Herbology and to study Taoism at Yo San University. I also began teaching Qi Gong and in 1995 produced a series of videos for the general public. Throughout that time, I felt more of an affinity with movement meditation for the purpose of fostering health and well-being in oneself and for the benefit of others.

After attending two Vipassana retreats, I became more curious about Buddhist philosophy and meditation not previously emphasized in my practice and study of Eastern thought. I began a sitting meditation practice with Jason Siff in July of 2000 and entered SMP teacher training in 2003 for more intensive study and training.

I currently lead Recollective Awareness meditation sitting groups and workshops in Santa Monica California. I also lead retreats with members of the SMP Teaching Sangha and have been working closely with individual students. I continue to work part-time as an Acupuncturist, and serve as President for the Skillful Meditation Project Board of Directors.
