Think of the word “guru” and what comes to mind? Perhaps it’s someone living in an ashram in a faraway land. But gurus aren’t always monks or holy men. They’re everyday teachers and mentors: ordinary people who possess extraordinary wisdom. And now you can meet them for yourself!
The Buddha Groove Guru Series is a regular column featuring insights from Buddha Groove’s vetted Gurus. These men and women have unique perspectives drawn from specialized knowledge, and they want to share their wisdom with you!
Buddha Groove’s Gurus come from all over the country and have all different backgrounds. They’re life coaches, nutritionists, meditation instructors, healers, yoga teachers, and more. Check back often for their advice and musings on everything from personal wellness to spiritual growth.
